From tariffs to real prices across
all transport modes
Rank door-to-door landed cost — not the ocean or road line alone. FCL, LCL, FTL, LTL, rail/truck and barge/truck intermodal, and air, with surcharges, locals and FX in one comparable price.
What Multimodalis Does
One Platform for All Pricing Complexity
Multimodalis unifies fragmented tariff landscapes into a single, structured pricing engine — across every mode, every surcharge and every cost combination.
Unify Tariffs
Bring ocean, road, intermodal (rail/truck, barge/truck) and airfreight rates into one structure and one system of record.
Apply Full Cost Logic
Automatically include fuel, BAF, THC, toll, handling, pickup, drop-off, LWS and all surcharges.
Compare Real Prices
Benchmark complete transport options side by side — not isolated rate sheets from separate systems.
Sales offers, tenders and RFQ
Generate versioned customer offers from FCL, LTL, air and LCL rates. Run tenders, capture supplier responses and track capacity — not a generic slogan.
A unified pricing engine for transport logistics
Multimodalis does not just display tariffs. It calculates real transport prices – across all transport modes, all cost elements and all relevant pricing structures.
Unified pricing engine
One pricing logic for FCL, LCL, FTL, LTL, rail/truck and barge/truck intermodal, and airfreight – all calculated in one system.
Complete cost breakdown
Include base rates, surcharges, local charges, handling, fuel, BAF, toll, LWS, terminal costs and currency conversion.
Combination logic
Combine different tariffs and transport legs into one valid, optimized transport option with one total price.
NAC, tenders, capacity and spot
Run tenders, collect supplier responses, track capacity and send spot inquiries. NAC is a workflow — not just another rate type — and results sit next to your contracted tariffs.
Sales offer generation
Build versioned customer offers from group templates, export PDF, and pull rates from FCL, LTL, air and LCL into one commercial document.
High degree of automation
Automate recurring pricing logic, tariff imports, inbound RFQs and cost updates to cut manual work.
All Transport Modes. One Pricing Logic.
Multimodalis connects pricing structures that usually live in separate spreadsheets, separate teams and separate systems.
Ocean
FCL and LCL with port locals — contract port-to-port plus live carrier online rates on the same lanes. FAK, named-account, basket, hazardous and special-equipment contracts; FCL uploads checked cell by cell; door-to-door from real inland tariffs, not estimated add-ons.
Road
FTL and LTL including toll, fuel, pickup and drop-off. Each carrier's own chargeable-weight rules (volume, loading metre, pallet) across all rule types and all surcharge types; out-of-limit shipments show “on request”, not a misleading price.
Intermodal
Truck, rail/truck and barge/truck options for one container on one screen, one-way and roundtrip. Toll-aware distance pricing, recalculated when a toll change takes effect; terminal costs, KV / all-in zone surcharges with period control; Rhine water levels monitored against each supplier's low-water band.
Airfreight
Chargeable weight per airline divisor and rounding, FSC and SSC, security fees and add-ons in the landed price. Every higher weight break is checked automatically and the saving shown; a piece-restriction engine tests each piece.
Included Pricing Components
Why Complete Pricing Matters
Comparing only base rates produces misleading results. Multimodalis calculates the full cost of each transport option — making comparisons accurate and decisions defensible.

From price to offer and capacity
Offers and capacity requests use the same calculated prices as every query — sales, procurement and pricing work from one version of the truth.
Sales offer generator
- Markup rules per customer group and cost item, applied automatically
- Approval flow: draft, review, approval, sent, archived
- Sent versions are frozen, with stored proof of the buying price
- Branded PDFs with your colours, logo and terms
- Price-update wizard emails updated offers to every affected customer
- AI inquiry analysis turns a customer email into a structured inquiry with a checklist of missing details. It pre-fills the offer; it does not set prices.
Capacity requests
- Capacity requests built directly from quote results
- Suppliers answer via yes/no links in the email, no login required
- Award in Multimodalis: the winner is notified, the others are released automatically
- Invite new suppliers without disclosing prices
- Capacity KPI view with pipeline value and trends

Rates & surcharges
One place for tariffs, surcharges and locals. Pricing, sales and procurement share the same stack — and decide faster, on your tenant.

No local installation. Access pricing workflows securely through your browser.
Quote API, TMS/ERP & import
Import tariff data at scale and expose an intermodal quote API so TMS and ERP systems can request landed prices — not import only.

Enterprise RBAC: define who can view, maintain, release or request rates and surcharges — by team and role.
OAuth, SAML & Enterprise SSO
Sign in with your identity provider. Departments reach the same tenant through OAuth, SAML or Enterprise SSO.
Dedicated instance & 2FA
Each customer runs its own instance with its own databases and credentials. Mandatory two-factor login, login lockout and permissions per page. Servers are securely located in Germany.
