GRG FREIGHT INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM™
ANCHORAGE IS THE BEGINNING.
NOT THE DESTINATION.
THE ZIP CODE DOES MORE THAN FIND THE DESTINATION.
IT DEFINES THE TRANSPORTATION PATH.
Moving freight to Alaska is only the beginning. Gateway selection, advancing transportation, freight classification, density, Alaska routing, destination requirements and carrier restrictions all affect the final cost.
GRG connects those decisions into one intelligent workflow.

01B / THE INTELLIGENCE BEHIND EVERY ALASKA QUOTE
The ZIP Code Defines
The Network.
Road. Air. Marine. Final Mile. The Alaska destination determines the transportation path, service area and pricing model.
One ZIP code → the right network → the right cost → one defensible quote.
02 / BUILD THE SHIPMENT
Build the Shipment Once.
Pieces. Dimensions. Weight. Description.
From that shipment profile, GRG calculates cube and density and creates the foundation for every transportation decision that follows.
03A / FREIGHT INTELLIGENCE
Ordinary Description
IN
Transportation Intelligence
Out.
A CSR should not need to know the exact NMFC wording before beginning. Start with the language the customer actually uses.
GRG searches the freight intelligence engine, compares possible commodities, identifies density requirements and exposes classification risk.
Transportation experience becomes a repeatable decision process.
03B / CLASS & DENSITY VALIDATION
The Classification Has to Survive the Shipment.
Finding an NMFC item is only part of the decision. GRG compares shipment cube and weight against the applicable density schedule and validates the resulting freight class before the rate is built.
Correct commodity. Correct density. Correct class.
Better classification means fewer reclass surprises, fewer rebills and more defensible quotes.
04A / LTL CARRIER CHOICE
The Lowest Rate Isn't Always the Best Carrier.
The mainland shipment still has to reach the Alaska gateway. Through TMS Connect, the shipment profile is sent to the connected transportation market so the CSR can compare carrier, price, transit, service, and shipment restrictions.
COMPARE → SELECT → APPLY
The selected mainland transportation cost flows back into the Alaska Rater as the advancing charge. Carrier choice is more than price sorting—height, length, cubic-capacity and linear-foot restrictions can change the true cost.
04B / TL & PARTIAL TL
LTL Isn't the Only Answer.
For Truckload and Partial Truckload opportunities, the Alaska Rater can use a rate-per-mile model. Origin ZIP → Gateway ZIP → Estimated Mileage.
Apply the carrier's rate per mile and the advancing transportation cost is calculated immediately. Where authorized, a CSR may apply a negotiated discount of up to 10%.

06 / THE 90-SECOND QUOTE
Quote While the Customer Is Still Ready to Buy.
Historically, an Alaska transportation quote can require multiple lookups and handoffs. GRG compresses shipment profile, classification, validation, mainland transportation, Alaska rate and total landed cost into one workflow.
APPROXIMATELY 90 SECONDS TO A DEFENSIBLE QUOTE.

07 / QUOTE TO COMMITMENT
A Fast Quote Only Matters If It Moves the Customer Forward.
The quote is documented and sent directly to the customer. They can accept it or identify a concern with price, transit, carrier preference, or an existing transportation contract.
When the customer clicks Yes, Let's Do It, the system initiates order confirmation and requests the essential shipment information required to move forward.
QUOTE → COMMITMENT → EXECUTION
The customer remains in the moment. The CSR receives the information needed to dispatch the shipment. The transaction moves forward without disconnected emails and manual follow-up.
