Live LTL rate quotes in Salesforce

FedEx Freight Integration for LTL Rate Quotes

The FTM FedEx Freight integration lets teams request Economy and Priority LTL rate quotes directly from a Lane Quote in Salesforce. Then, FedEx returns the total net charge and estimated transit days for the selected service. As a result, users can compare current quote information without re-entering the lane on a separate website.

LTL rating from the Lane Quote

How do Economy and Priority quotes compare?

FTM lets you request FedEx Freight Economy and Priority rate quotes from the Lane Quote in Salesforce. Each service is requested separately. However, when users request both, they can compare the returned net charge and estimated transit days from the same Lane Quote.

FedEx Freight Economy
Cost-optimized LTL

For lanes where transit time is flexible, rate may be the primary factor. Therefore, FTM requests the Economy quote from the FedEx Freight API and returns the total net charge and estimated transit days to the Lane Quote.

Total Net FedEx Charge returned
Estimated transit days returned
Optional storage on Lane Quote for comparison
FedEx Freight Priority
Time-sensitive LTL

For lanes where transit time is a key factor, users can request Priority. As a result, FTM returns the total net charge and estimated transit days for comparison on the same Lane Quote.

Total Net FedEx Charge returned
Estimated transit days returned
Optional storage on Lane Quote alongside Economy
Rates are quoted values for comparison and decision-making
Because FedEx uses the freight details and account configuration provided at the time of the request, returned rates reflect that specific context. They are intended for comparison and quoting decisions. However, actual charges may vary. In addition, estimated transit days are not a guaranteed delivery commitment. Therefore, a new request may be needed to confirm current pricing at time of use.
Freight details FTM sends to FedEx

What freight details does FTM use for a rate request?

FTM uses the freight details available on the Lane Quote to build the FedEx Freight rate request. Therefore, accurate lane, commodity, packaging, and billing information helps FedEx calculate the most relevant quote available for that request.

Origin Address
City, state/province, zip, country
Destination Address
City, state/province, zip, country
Freight Class
NMFC freight class for the commodity
Weight
Total shipment weight and unit
Dimensions

Handling Units

Pieces

What does the FedEx quote look like in FTM?

After a rate request, FTM displays the total net FedEx charge and estimated transit days returned for that service. In addition, teams can optionally store those values on Lane Quote fields for later reference. A new request may be needed to confirm current pricing.

Ready to compare
Once both quote options are available, users can compare price and estimated transit information directly on the Lane Quote. Booking is outside the documented scope of this FTM connector.

Field labels, charges, and transit days shown are illustrative. For example, actual rates are calculated by FedEx at the time of request. In addition, estimated transit days are not a guaranteed delivery commitment.

Lane Quote rating workflow

How does the five-step FedEx Freight rating workflow work?

The workflow starts on an FTM Lane Quote. First, users confirm the lane and freight inputs. Next, they request Economy or Priority pricing. Finally, FTM displays the returned charge and estimated transit days, so teams can compare the available quote information in Salesforce.

01
Open the Lane Quote
Start from the Salesforce record that holds the lane.
02
Confirm freight details
Review addresses, class, weight, dimensions, and packaging.
03
Choose a service
Request Economy or Priority through its quote option.
04
Receive the quote
FedEx returns the net charge and estimated transit days.
05
Compare or store results
Use the returned values for quoting and decision-making.
Two systems, one rating workflow

What does FedEx return, and what does FTM manage?

FedEx calculates the rate information for the selected Freight service. Meanwhile, FTM builds the request from Lane Quote data and displays the returned values in Salesforce. Therefore, the carrier remains the source of the quote while FTM keeps the workflow connected to the transportation record.

FedEx Freight returns
Total net charge for the selected service
Estimated transit days when available
Economy or Priority service identification
API response details or errors for the request
FTM manages
Builds the request from Lane Quote fields
Displays returned charges and transit days
Optionally stores quote values on the Lane Quote
Keeps the comparison inside Salesforce
Supports sandbox and production configuration
Why connected LTL rating matters

Why request FedEx Freight rates from the Lane Quote?

When rate shopping happens on a separate website, teams copy the same lane and freight details into another system. In contrast, the FedEx Freight integration uses data already available in FTM and returns the quote information to Salesforce.

Request rates from existing lane data
FTM builds the request from Lane Quote fields, including addresses, freight class, weight, dimensions, packaging, and payment details.
See charge and transit information in Salesforce
FedEx returns the total net charge and estimated transit days. Then, FTM displays those values where the team already manages the Lane Quote.
Compare services with less re-entry
Users can request Economy and Priority separately and compare the returned quote information. In addition, they can optionally store values on the Lane Quote.
Before and after

What changes when FedEx Freight rating connects to FTM?

Without the integration, teams leave the TMS and re-enter lane details to request a FedEx Freight quote. With the integration, however, they can send the Lane Quote data from FTM and review returned rate information in Salesforce.

Without FedEx Freight connected to FTM
Open a separate rate website or carrier tool
Re-enter origin and destination details
Re-enter class, weight, dimensions, and packaging
Copy charges and transit information manually
Switch between systems to compare services
With FedEx Freight connected to FTM
Start the request from the FTM Lane Quote
Use existing lane and freight details
Request Economy and Priority separately

Operational outcomes

What outcomes can connected FedEx Freight rating support?

Economy and Priority comparison
Users can request each service separately. Then, they can compare the returned charge and transit information from the Lane Quote.
Account-based quote information
FedEx calculates the quote using the configured Freight account and the details supplied in the request. Therefore, the result reflects that request context.
Net charge returned to Salesforce
FTM displays the total net FedEx charge returned by the API, so teams can review the quoted value in their existing workflow.
Estimated transit days visible
When FedEx returns estimated transit information, FTM displays it beside the quote. However, the estimate is not a guaranteed delivery commitment.
Less duplicate data entry
The integration uses origin, destination, freight class, weight, dimensions, packaging, and payment data already stored on the Lane Quote.
Optional Lane Quote storage
Teams can optionally store returned values on the Lane Quote. As a result, the quote information remains available for comparison and decision-making.
