Rate Adjustment Graph

Rate details

The Rate Adjustment Graph shows how your freight charges have changed over the course of a contract. While the summary tiles above provides today’s totals on a rate, the graph highlights how your origin, ocean, and destination charges have increased or decreased over time.

Rate components are grouped by segment (origin, ocean, destination) with each segment displayed in a different colour, making it easy to see how each contributes to the overall cost and where adjustments have occurred.

Hover on a specific period to see the category values. Click and drag to zoom in.

📘

X-Axis (horizontal): timeline showing the contract period

Y-Axis (vertical): total charges in USD

The graph shows three stacked layers representing different charge categories: origin, ocean, and destination charges. Each layer's thickness represents the cost of that category. The total height at any points shows the complete all-in-rate.


Understanding currency conversion

The Rate Adjustment Graph automatically converts all total rows to USD for easy apples-to-apples comparison.

  • Origin charges total - converted to USD
  • Ocean charges total- converted to USD
  • Destination charges total- converted to USD
  • All-in-rate - sum of the 3 totals above, displayed in USD

If you would like to view the charges in their native currency, please scroll to the Rate Adjustment Table.

📘

Exchange rates are automatically retrieved and applied every 24 hours.

  • Current period columns update daily with the latest rates.
  • Future period columns use the latest rates until that period becomes active.
  • Historical period columns retain the exchange rate from the final day of that period.
  • Expired contracts use the final exchange rate from their last active day.

In summary

Use the Rate Adjustments Graph to:

  • Visualize how costs evolve during a contract without relying on complex spreadsheets
  • Identify increases, decreases, or spikes in origin, ocean, or destination charges
  • Quickly understand the drivers of rate changes to improve forecasting and contract planning
