|  |  | Two major interactive facilities comprise the FAIS Route
Analysis module:
  |  | The Rate Inquiry facility provides automatic rating upon
    entry of the characteristics of a shipment. A specific carrier, a group of carriers, or
    all recorded carriers may be considered. Service level and region specifications can be
    used to restrict the applicable quotes for the rate determination process.  |  
    
 
  |  | Many rate quotations are generated as the result of a brief
    telephone conversation. The objective of the quote modelling facility is to collect the
    necessary information, within the context of a telephone discussion, to enable the
    generation of a record that will permit the production of a printed quote and allow
    automatic rating. Quotes generated using this facility may be maintained using the rates
    maintenance module. |  |  | - interfacesFAIS Route Analysis provides for integration
    with the PC Miler routing facility to provide input for milage rating. |  |  | - training |
