Summary

What are we trying to achieve? What are the main goals of this module?

Core need

Jaguar Global needs Tariff and Contract Management System with additional functionality that will improve/affect other areas such as CT creation, invoices, reports, etc.

Currently there seems to be no standard in obtaining or maintaining rates. When a rate is required, operators will obtain the rates either by, searching online tariffs, searching rate management systems (Rate Explorer), sending an email request, telephone calls, searching previous emails, searching documents saved on their desktop or manually looking through paper copies of contracts or tariffs. This is currently being done by various employees with little sharing of the information.

Core functionality

Creating such "database" should allow operators throughout the organization (including overseas offices) to share and compare this information.

Main Features:

• management of tariffs and contracts (purchase and sales sides)
  • adding, editing, deleting, listing, searching, sorting, querying

NOTE: Purchase side - phase 1 and sales sides - phase 2

• "Quotations" web portal and internal (for Jag Sales, Ops, Clients, etc)
  • searching, sorting, querying and producing an official Jag doc (with number, etc)

Additional Ops features:

• CT could be created based on quote

Additional Acc features:

• Automated population of charge table in "sales invoices"
• Automated calculation of "estimated cost and sale" for a shipment
• Auto approval of PI charges

The system should be able to provide quick user friendly access to all current costs.

MOTs

This module is to be implemented for all modes of transport. Functionality is expected to be the same across all MOTs.

Each MOT has its own wiki and includes MOT specific requirements:

• Rates DB Air
• Rates DB Ocean
• Rates DB Truck
