AI rates management woven into your workflows. Not bolted on.
AI watches every contracted rate, flags drift, and recommends what to renegotiate next. Compliance and savings, on autopilot.
Rate compliance, watched in real time
JAI Assist surfaces invoices and POs paying off-contract rates the moment they appear. No more 6–8 month savings shortfalls discovered after the fact.
Renegotiation signals, prioritized
JAI Copilot watches market indices, supplier performance and rate expirations and tells category leads which structures to renegotiate first. And why.
Every change, fully auditable
Every proposal, approval and rate update logged with who, when and why. Defensible for finance, audit and supplier disputes. No spreadsheets, no email trail.
Three governed paths for every rate change.
Buyer-led, supplier-led, or pre-approved. Configurable per rate structure, with full audit trail and Excel or in-platform updates.

Rate management FAQs.
The ones we hear most often in RFPs and buying committees. Answered straight.
A centralized rate management platform that captures negotiated rate structures. Lane bids, rate cards, indexed pricing. And keeps them aligned with downstream contracts, invoices and ERP/TMS systems.
Contracts hold the legal record. Advanced Rates is the live operational layer underneath. Structured pricing data, governed update workflows, and API-ready feeds to the systems that pay the invoice.
Lane-based logistics rates, services rate cards (bill rate / pay rate), indexed and formulaic direct-material pricing, volume tiers and matrix pricing, with surcharges and pass-throughs.
Three governed workflows: buyer-proposes / supplier-reviews, supplier-proposes / buyer-reviews, or pre-approved instant updates. Every change is logged with who, when and why.
Awarded ASO scenarios push directly into Advanced Rates as live structures; rates link to Contracts records; updates flow back into invoice and PO matching.
Yes. Via the supplier portal or Surrogate. Submissions land in a Pending Rates queue for buyer or RS Manager review before going active.
Yes. REST APIs feed live rate structures to SAP, Oracle, and major TMS platforms so every shipment and PO uses the contracted price.
Subscription-based, sized to volume of rate structures and supplier scope. Often deployed alongside ASO and Contracts as an integrated package.
Most customers stand up their first rate structures in 6–10 weeks, starting with one category. Logistics lanes or services rate cards. Before scaling.
