Dynamic Savings Program: Add On-demand Savings to Your Shipping Strategy
OnTrac’s Dynamic Savings Program gives eligible shippers a new way to lower parcel transportation costs. When OnTrac has available network capacity, you can request a promotional rate for incremental packages through a dedicated API. If a qualifying rate is available, it is returned within your rate-shopping process. If it is not, you continue with your normal carrier selection. .
Never pay more than your listed rates, always find the best rate available.
Why shippers want Dynamic Savings
Access additional savings
Compete for OnTrac rates below your contracted pricing when eligible capacity is available.
Keep your current workflow
Add the Dynamic Savings request to your existing carrier rate-shopping process and compare the returned rate with your other options.
Use only when it works for you
A promotional rate is an option, not an obligation. If your target price is not available, proceed with your standard carrier choice.
Create value from incremental volume
Apply the program to packages above your contracted minimum commitments, including volume that might otherwise move with another carrier.
How it works
- Rate shop as usual
Identify the best available rate across your carrier portfolio for an eligible package. - Submit a target price
Send the shipment details and target price through the Dynamic Savings API. - Receive the OnTrac response
OnTrac evaluates the shipment against configured capacity, package, lane, and pricing criteria. - Choose the best option
If OnTrac can meet the target price, use the returned promotional rate. Otherwise, continue with your normal carrier selection.
The Result: another opportunity to reduce shipping costs without replacing your contracted OnTrac program.
Program Requirements
Maintain a separate contracted OnTrac rate agreement.
Consistently achieve the minimum volume commitments in your OnTrac agreement. Dynamic Savings is intended for incremental volume above those commitments.
Maintain daily OnTrac pickups so qualifying packages can enter the network through your established operation.
Provide technical resources to integrate the Dynamic Savings API and maintain the custom rate-shopping logic required to submit target prices and use returned rates.
