OTMNow Rate Maintenance — by KSAP

Turn signed carrier contracts into live OTM rates — in days, not weeks.

Carrier contracts don’t arrive in OTM-ready format. OTMNow Rate Maintenance transforms carrier spreadsheets into validated, production-ready Oracle OTM rates — with built-in validation, version control, and simplified error handling.

The gap we close

Procurement signs the deal.
Rate Maintenance loads it.

Carrier contracts are negotiated in sourcing tools and spreadsheets — not in Oracle OTM’s native rate structures. OTMNow bridges that gap, converting awarded contracts into production-ready OTM rates without manual CSV formatting, complex error handling, or heavy IT involvement.

3 wks → 3 days
Bid-to-production speed

WestRock cut their annual bid cycle from 3 weeks of all-hands IT effort to just 3 days — with the sourcing team running it themselves.

All modes
Every rate type, every mode

Parcel, LTL, TL, intermodal, ocean, air, accessorials, distance-based, weight-break, and complex contract structures.

Plain-English
Simplified validation

Business-friendly error messages replace cryptic native OTM upload failures — no OTM expertise required.

100%
Full auditability

Track every upload, version, user change, timestamp, and contract history — with rollback support built in.

Real customer pain

What teams were dealing with
before OTMNow.

These aren’t hypothetical problems. These are direct pain points from enterprise logistics teams using Oracle OTM.

“2 FTEs loading rates on a daily basis — consuming headcount just to keep carrier rates current in OTM.”

Oldcastle

“Months behind on loading rates, leading to invoicing failures cascading across the business.”

Cisco

“3 weeks of all hands-on deck for the IT team just to load the annual carrier bid — every year.”

WestRock

“Tens of thousands of complex rates delaying carrier onboarding and slowing down operations.”

Penske

“The time between negotiation and upload is too long — rates aren’t live when operations need them.”

Enterprise Logistics Leader

“It should not require FTEs to load rates. This is a process that should run itself.”

What customers are saying

Real outcomes from
Fortune 500 logistics teams.

“The KSAP OTMNow Rate Loader Module was a Game Changer for our Enterprise Logistics team. The cycle time from bid to production rates decreased from 3 weeks to 3 days, resulting in enormous productivity gains for our teams.”

WestRockIT Director, Enterprise Logistics — Fortune 500 Packaging Company

“The KSAP Rate Maintenance app was so incredible, we started loading production rates while still in UAT — before we even finished testing.”

Oldcastle

“The entire Rate Maintenance process is now executed by the Sourcing team, who are not familiar with OTM at all. That says everything.”

WestRock

“OTMNow accelerated a very large acquisition onboarding by months — something that would have taken our team a long time to accomplish manually.”
