Shippers need fast, reliable data right in their daily tools. Toggling between systems or waiting for reports adds steps and speed bumps to getting work done. Integrations, then, become critical to modern shipping operations. That’s why we offer a suite of freight rate APIs for shippers.
We’re proud to partner with leading TMS, RFP, and orchestration platforms to embed real-time freight data, rate benchmarks, and freight insights in your workflow – no more hopping between software, copy and pasting what you need. Just slick, fast integrations that help you get more done, move faster, cut costs, and stay ahead of a shifting market.

DAT iQ’s integrations deliver freight rate intelligence through flexible APIs and embedded analytics, supporting top TMS, ERP, and procurement platforms. Teams can access market rates in tools like Oracle OTM, Keelvar, Shipwell, GoodShip, Snowflake, and more, streamlining operations and eliminating manual data pulls. With data and insights from DAT, you get:
- Unbiased, comprehensive rate data from the largest shipper/broker network
