Build Flexible Shipping Rates for Virtually Any Type of Goods
XYZFlow gives your business the flexibility to create, manage, and optimize shipping costs and customer pricing across a wide range of goods, services, and shipping requirements.
Whether you're handling small parcels, commercial cargo, oversized items, or specialized shipments, XYZFlow allows you to build customized rate structures based on your operational needs.
Manage private provider costs, configure pricing rules, organize shipping zones, and maintain version-controlled rate structures—all from one centralized platform.
Flexible Rate & Cost Configuration
Create customized shipping rate structures for virtually any type of goods. Configure pricing based on weight, dimensions, destinations, shipping zones, service requirements, and other applicable cost factors.
You're not limited to standard air parcels or predefined carrier pricing models. With the appropriate configuration, XYZFlow can accommodate a wide variety of shipment types and pricing structures.
Separate Provider Costs from Customer Pricing
Maintain a clear distinction between what your business pays providers and what you charge customers.
Manage private carrier and supplier costs independently from customer-facing pricing policies, giving your team greater control over pricing strategies, margins, and commercial decisions.
Advanced Pricing Rules & Shipping Zones
Build detailed rate structures using configurable destination zones, weight increments, package rules, surcharges, and additional pricing conditions.
Customize how shipping costs are calculated to reflect the requirements of different providers, services, and types of cargo.
Version Control & Rate Management
Keep your pricing organized with identifiable versions, validation tools, and controlled publishing.
Review changes, compare configurations, and publish approved rate structures while maintaining visibility into the rules and information behind each version.
How It Works
Create your rate structure: Select the provider or service and configure the applicable shipping cost model.
Define pricing conditions: Set up destination zones, weight and dimension rules, surcharges, and other relevant cost factors.
Validate your configuration: Review the rate matrix, check for issues, and compare versions before publishing.
Publish your rates: Activate the approved version for use within the appropriate service or operational workflow.
Manage customer pricing: Configure separate commercial pricing policies based on your business requirements.
Demo Example
The demo showcases a published private provider cost configuration for FedEx International Economy Export, demonstrating XYZFlow's advanced rate management capabilities.
The configuration includes 41 rate rows organized across three shipping zones, with destination-based rules and a 500-gram billing increment.
The Zone Manager allows users to configure destination groups using criteria such as country, region, postal code, airport, remote-area classifications, and exclusions.
Additional configuration sections provide access to the rate matrix, package rules, surcharges, and advanced pricing conditions.
The example displays version 5 as published, with options to build, validate, compare, and publish configurations.
Although the demonstration uses a FedEx international shipping service, XYZFlow's rate configuration capabilities are not restricted to FedEx, air freight, or standard packages. Different types of goods and shipping services can be accommodated through appropriately configured rate structures.
Is XYZFlow Limited to Air Shipping or Small Packages?
No. XYZFlow is designed to support flexible shipping cost and pricing configurations.
With the appropriate setup, businesses can create rate structures for virtually any type of goods, including parcels, commercial freight, oversized cargo, and specialized shipments.
The applicable calculation rules depend on the type of shipment, service requirements, and pricing model being configured.
Can I Create My Own Shipping Rates Instead of Using Carrier Rates?
Yes. XYZFlow allows you to define custom rate structures and pricing rules rather than relying exclusively on predefined carrier rates.
You can configure your own cost models, organize destination zones, establish weight-based pricing, and apply relevant surcharges or additional conditions.
Can I Keep My Provider Costs Private?
Yes. Provider costs and customer-facing pricing are managed separately, allowing your business to protect sensitive cost information while maintaining independent commercial pricing policies.
Can I Update Rates Without Affecting Previous Quotations?
XYZFlow supports version-controlled rate configurations. Previously issued quotation revisions retain their recorded pricing information and supporting evidence rather than being automatically rewritten when rates change.
Does XYZFlow Automatically Retrieve Live Rates from Every Carrier?
No. Live carrier rate integrations depend on the availability and configuration of supported providers.
XYZFlow also supports manually configured rate structures, allowing businesses to manage shipping costs without depending exclusively on external carrier integrations.
Can Different Services Have Different Pricing Rules?
Yes. Pricing configurations can be tailored to the requirements of individual shipping services, providers, and operational workflows.
This allows businesses to manage different cost structures and customer pricing policies according to the services they offer.
