About the service
I develop freight transportation cost calculators for transportation company websites. A visitor specifies cargo parameters — weight, volume, or dimensions, pickup location, and delivery destination — and the calculator immediately shows an estimated transportation price and approximate delivery times. No calls to a manager and no waiting for an answer: the calculation appears right after data entry, and that's exactly what cargo shippers expect today before they even decide to call.
Behind the simple form is a full-fledged calculation engine: base rate by distance range, coefficients for weight and volumetric weight, surcharges for oversized and fragile cargo, seasonal and regional multipliers, rounding rules — everything is customized to the company's real tariff policy. The distance between points is calculated automatically; the sender doesn't need to estimate mileage themselves. All rates, zones, and coefficients are edited from the admin panel without contacting the developer every time tariffs change.
I separately consider the calculator's behavior on mobile devices, response speed, and how clearly the final price is explained. A calculator that simply outputs a number without explanation gets closed without a second look; a calculator with transparent cost breakdown builds trust and converts into a request.
What's included in the development:
— Input of weight, volume, and route with data validation
— Automatic calculation of distance and delivery times
— Flexible tariff and coefficient configuration through the admin panel
— Responsive design, fast result delivery
— Integration into an existing website or CMS
