Compare Carrier Rates Before Booking
When you upload a shipment manifest, WebRun opens FedEx, UPS, and DHL, gets live rate quotes for each shipment using your account pricing, records every quote in a comparison sheet, and tells you the cheapest and fastest option for each one.
How can I automatically compare carrier rates before booking a shipment?
WebRun compares live shipping rates across FedEx, UPS, and DHL for every shipment in your manifest before you commit to a carrier. It logs all quotes in a Google Sheet and surfaces the cheapest and fastest option per shipment, so you book with confidence instead of guessing.
- Best carrier price selected for every shipment without manual research
- All quotes logged in one sheet for audit and trend analysis
- Booking decisions made in seconds, not minutes

Questions, answered
Does it book the shipment automatically?
No. It only retrieves and compares quotes. You choose the carrier and service level, then book it yourself - spending money is always your decision.
Are the rates the same as my negotiated account rates?
Yes, as long as you are logged in to your account on each carrier portal. WebRun reads the rates shown to your account, which include any negotiated discounts.
How many shipments can I compare at once?
As many as are in your manifest file. WebRun works through them sequentially, one row at a time, so large manifests take longer but every shipment is covered.
