Pricing Zones

You know the area.
Now your rate card does too.

Draw the area on a map, or build it from zip codes and city names. Then set the rate between two zones — flat or per pallet — and it applies on every quote where both ends land in those zones, whoever builds it.

From boundary to rate

Define the area once, then price between areas

Drawn areas

Draw the area instead of listing zip codes

Trace the boundary you actually mean on the map — one shape or several, each with an optional label so a multi-area zone stays editable. Where a drawn area and a zip rule disagree, the drawing wins. Drawn areas match on coordinates, so they need address coordinate lookup switched on; your zip and city rules keep working either way.

  • Trace the boundary on the map
  • Several areas in one zone, each labelled
  • A drawn area outranks zip and city rules

Match rules

Zip, zip prefix and city rules for everything else

Build a zone from exact zips, zip prefixes or city names. The most specific rule wins: an exact zip beats a prefix, a prefix beats a city. Pin a zone to one country so a prefix cannot claim an address across a border.

  • Exact zip, zip prefix or city name
  • The most specific rule decides
  • Pin a zone to one country

Zone rates

Price zone to zone, flat or per pallet

On any rate card, set the price from one zone to another: a flat price, or a price per pallet with min and max pallet bands. A zone rate prices the load instead of the mileage grid — after a named lane rate and a cross-border rate card, which are both checked first.

  • Flat price or price per pallet
  • Min and max pallet bands per rate
  • Switch a rate off without deleting it

On the quote

The same lane gets the same price every time

Zones are company-level and rate cards attach to the customer, so the price comes from the rate card, not from whoever is at the desk. Customers can open your zone list read-only in their portal, so the areas behind a rate are not a secret.

  • Price calculated on the quote
  • A rate card per customer, plus a default
  • Customers see your zone list, read-only

What zones touch

Quotes and orders

When both ends of a quote land in zones you priced, that zone rate sets the price.

Cross-border rate cards

Zone-gated surcharges sit alongside the country pair on air, ocean and ground cards.

Addresses on the map

Switch on Google Maps coordinate lookup and addresses saved from then on can match the areas you drew.
