Frequently asked questions

How does Xeneta replace spreadsheets for freight rate management?

 Most procurement teams manage contracted rates across a patchwork of Excel files, carrier portals, and email threads. The result is outdated data, version control problems, and hours spent reconciling information before any meaningful analysis can happen. Xeneta's Integrated Rate Management replaces this with a single, centralized repository for every rate, surcharge, and contract across all suppliers and lanes. Rates are structured, validated, and always current, meaning teams spend less time managing data and more time acting on it. 

How does Xeneta help teams update surcharges and contracts more efficiently?

Without a centralized system, getting a complete picture of contracted rates across all suppliers, lanes, and contract types requires pulling data from multiple sources and assembling it manually. Xeneta gives procurement teams complete visibility in one place: every supplier, every contract, every lane, with full rate history and live market benchmarks alongside. This means teams can see exactly where they stand commercially at any point, identify which contracts need attention, and walk into any negotiation with the full context of their relationship with that supplier already in front of them.

How does Xeneta help teams run faster, more accurate RFQs?

 RFQ preparation is significantly slower when rate data lives in disconnected spreadsheets and templates vary by region or team. Xeneta standardizes and centralizes rate data so that when an RFQ needs to go out, the foundation is already in place. Clean, structured, validated rate data can be pulled directly into the tender process, reducing preparation time and eliminating the rework that comes from inconsistent templates or outdated rate sheets. The result is faster tender cycles and fewer errors that slow down carrier responses and award decisions. 

How does Xeneta help procurement, finance, and logistics teams work from the same data?

 One of the most common sources of internal friction in freight procurement is teams operating from different versions of rate data. Procurement has one view, finance has another, and logistics is working from something different again. Xeneta eliminates this by providing a single source of truth that every team accesses in real time. When rates are updated, everyone sees the same information immediately. This alignment speeds up internal decision-making, reduces disputes over numbers, and means that reports going to leadership are built on data the whole organization agrees on.
