We’re consolidating legacy RateView and Benchmark Analytics tools into the unified DAT iQ platform, delivering a more streamlined, scalable experience for enterprise shippers.

Smarter tools. Deeper insights. One powerful platform.

We’re upgrading your experience by migrating Benchmark rate lookup tools from FMIC to the DAT iQ platform. This change unlocks faster workflows, sharper market visibility, and a centralized home for historical, current, and forecasted rates—all in one place.

What’s changing:

• FMIC estimators are being replaced with iQ RateView’s single- and multi-lane lookup tools – plus you’re getting access to the new Shipper Spot Rate in RateView.
• Bulk and single rate lookup tools, dashboards, and performance BI reports now live in one platform – one login, one screen, one source for reliable insights.
• Market average rate methodology replaces more complex OLS logic for added transparency and usability.

Why this migration benefits you:

• One platform for all your insights – Access historical, current, and forecasted rates in a single, streamlined iQ interface.
• Faster speed to insight – Navigate rate lookups and performance reporting with modern tools designed to move at market speed.
• More transparency and precision – Get 3-digit ZIP-level granularity and 3-day rolling averages for sharper, more targeted analysis.
• No more black-box models – Replace outdated FMIC estimators and SPSS models with clear, explainable averages backed by $1T+ in real freight data.

Why we're making this change:

To give you:

• Better outcomes, faster
• More reliable, actionable insights
• A modern, scalable experience that evolves with your needs

You’ll still get the insights you trust—just faster, easier to use, and ready for what’s next.

Unlock a smarter, faster, and more unified experience.
