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.
