       Catapult QMS takes the complexity out of reading ocean contracts and sorting through air rate sheets. The system sorts through all rates based on origin, destination, and mode to produce your best options.
       Other rate management systems provide "modules" for each mode of transportation. All shipping rate structures are built into one screen. If there is a pallet that needs to go from Rome to Rotterdam, the user can view air, ground, and ocean options at the same time.

Saving and sending quotes couldn't be easier

       Quote customers fast and easy. Your company logo gets attached to the email form which gets sent directly from the QMS to the customer. The quote is then stored in a Quote History area to give instant access to any quote ever sent.

Service is key to the decision making process

       Price is not always the best option. Customers want to know an estimate of how long it takes for them to receive their product. With Catapult QMS, estimated transit times are listed with every option.

Drayage, Pick-Up/Delivery rates built into the system

       There are a lot of pieces to the transportation puzzle. First, there are pick-up costs, then ocean or air costs, then delivery costs. Catapult QMS combines all of the rates together so the user can select an origin and destination, then select "Door to Port" or "Door to Door" and pick-up and delivery costs are built into the rate.

Import rates, Export quotes and reports

       Catapult QMS fits nicely in a world of Excel spreadsheets. Companies can import rates from a template into the system. The RFP Tool allows you to do "mass quoting" by entering several origins and destinations in one template to produce a customer-ready quote sheet. Yes, very slick indeed.

Choose what you want and what you don't want

       The beauty of Catapult QMS is that the customer has several choices such as:

• » Self-Serve (input rates into the QMS yourself) vs. Full Serve (Catapult manages rates for you)
• » Screen look and feel - ability to show or hide certain fields or tabs in the QMS. Agents can have different views than administrators. Every user set-up has security levels to choose from.
• » Email quotation options - show or hide surcharges based on each customer

With Catapult QMS, you even have the flexibility to move, sort, and expand grids on the screen. You can even add charges to a rate instantly and it changes the total rate. We're about as flexible as Gumby®.

Reporting is simple and quick

       Most companies today must contend with tight margins, fierce competition and highly selective customers. That's why leaders across all industries have recognized the imperative for Catapult QMS Reporting Tools that can guide business decisions and sharpen competitive edge.
       Catapult QMS will enable you to monitor a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for your business. Historical, target and actual data is displayed in overviews and charts, from which information can be consumed at a glance.
       Metrics can be measured with reporting such as:

• » Quoting to booking ratio per customer
• » Total number of shipments quoted/booked per office
• » Number of LCL, FCL, Air shipments
• » Top 15 Origin/Destinations quoted
• » Top Carriers Used

Add, edit and publish in a flash

       Catapult QMS has built the easiest FMC compliant rate filing/publishing tool in the industry. Simply select the quoted O/D pairing and it populates most of the information into the tariff screen. Once the rest of the information is completed, the assigned administrator can "publish" the rate. The system will automatically check for duplicates in the system before publishing. It's simple and easy.
