Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention includes system and methods for the continued operation of a carrier management system having one or more user terminals that normally communicate with at least one data center over a network (online), when the one or more user terminals are unable to communicate with the data center (offline). Once communication is re-established between the one or more user terminal and the data center, local files and data on the user terminals that were used to rate and ship packages while offline are synchronized between the one or more user terminals and the data center.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for generating formulaic rates. The apparatus may include at least one memory and a processor(s) configured to define a first formula(s) in a row(s) of a database to calculate a first shipping rate value for a first type of shipping rate, among plural types of shipping rates, associated with a first rate identifier. The processor is further configured to define content in the row to analyze a predecessor rate identifier(s) of a previously generated source. The processor is also configured to detect a second shipping rate value corresponding to the predecessor rate identifier. The second shipping rate value is associated with a second type of shipping rate. The processor is further configured to determine the first shipping rate value for the first type of shipping rate based on calculating the formula using the second shipping rate value. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.
