> I agree. It's actually a pretty complex (although more cumbersome than
complex) task but since this is such a universal requirement for anyone in
this business I was hoping to see if someone has developed such a tool where
one can create templates for all major carriers that would map the
destinations, codes, rates etc. to normalised fields and end up with all
rates from all carriers in exactly the same format which can then be
imported into excel or any DB on which one can either write macros or use BI
software to analyse them.
