WISL Webrate is a web based application that provides the capability
to enter the characteristics of a shipment and retrieve the best rate
along with a list of other applicable rates and access to further
details about the rates and contract arrangements
1. Access to the routine is provided to the users via a browser
provided by the licensee. The browser must run on a web server. The web
server may reside on a computer connected to the internet(thus making it
an internet application) or on a computer connected to the local area
network on which the logistics server is connected(possibly the same
machine) which would make it an intranet application.
2. Shipment specifications are entered directly through a web
based entry screen.
3. Webrate invokes the FAIS auto-rating mechanism which
identifies the best rate and a list of additional rates found
4. Webrate provides for display of the rates data gathered in the
auto-rating process and also provides for display of additional detail
5. The facilities of FAIS Enduser Inquiry are utilized to
provide authorized access to Webrate
