AI for Freight Rate Sheet XLSX Processing — A Reference Framework
Summary / Brief Freight rate sheets are still distributed as Excel files—dense grids of lanes, weights, zones, and surcharges that drive quoting and margin decisions.

By embedding AI directly inside these workbooks, cellect.ai turns Excel into an intelligent validation layer—able to interpret, audit, and standardize rates without leaving the sheet.
