Master Key
Master Key is a batch rating system desiged
for PC and Mainframe computers that will streamline your rating process.
It can be used as a stand-alone batch processing system to rate hundreds
of shipmets a minute from multiple tariffs, or it can be integrated with
an existing software application to perform the rating function of a system.
Master Key uses common data format and access methods, so when you use
it with one rate scale, additional scales can quickly be up and running
by installing a Master Key update. It opens the door to autorating
many of the popular (and some not-so-popular) rate scales. If you
have shipment information that needs to be rated, you need Master Key.
Master Key for PC
In batch mode, an entire file of shipment information is quickly processed with
the rated results placed in the same or a different file where they
can be used by other applications. By specifying different tariffs,
you can easily perform "what if" analysis to see the impact of using an
alternate scale of rates. Master Key can also be launced from another
application to rate a single shipment and allow the results to be returned
and used by the other application.
Master Key for mainframe computers
For mainframe systems, Master Key is provided as a series of program
source code modules and data files which can be integrated with existing
applications. Like the PC version, it can be used to rate shipments
in a batch, or called when needed to perform the rating function for a
particular shipment.
