Smart Pricing AI Assistant for Instant Troubleshooting in techSHIP

Written by Techdinamics | May 27, 2026 8:21:46 PM

Managing pricing logic across multiple carriers often involves reviewing settings across Service Levels, Accessorial Collections, Pricing Dimensions, and Custom Pricing Tables. When rates fail or expected charges do not apply, teams may need to check many configurations to identify the cause.

Recently, we introduced the AI Assistant for rule generation inside techSHIP. Today, Techdinamics is expanding its AI capabilities further with the new AI Assistant for Smart Pricing.

Available within Custom Pricing Tables, the assistant provides context-aware troubleshooting that helps users understand rate calculations, identify missing rates, and review configuration logic directly inside the platform.

As Edward Aguiar, CEO and CTO of Techdinamics, explained during our latest sprint demo:

“What we’re trying to do is simplify the troubleshooting process around Smart Pricing. Instead of users having to investigate multiple configurations manually, the assistant helps explain what’s happening and why.” 

This update supports teams handling complex, multi-carrier shipping operations across brands, retailers, ecommerce businesses, enterprises, and 3PL environments. It also reflects Techdinamics’ continued focus on building innovative, AI-driven tools that make shipping operations easier to manage as fulfillment workflows evolve.

 

Context-aware troubleshooting for shipping pricing configurations

The AI Assistant, currently running in beta, reviews the active configuration inside a Custom Pricing Table and helps explain how rate behavior is being applied.

This includes:

  • Service Levels

  • Accessorial Collections

  • Pricing Dimensions

  • Margin discrepancies

  • Missing Service Levels 

Instead of manually checking multiple settings, users can ask questions directly in the AI Assistant panel and receive guidance based on the live table configuration.

For shipping operations teams working with multi-carrier shipping software, this helps reduce the time spent investigating pricing behavior and troubleshooting rating issues.

Understand why charges apply or fail

The assistant helps explain why a specific charge applied, failed, or produced an unexpected result.

Users can review:

  • Calculation steps

  • Pricing logic behavior

  • Missing rate conditions

  • Accessorial application logic

This makes it easier for users to review pricing-related issues directly within the AI Assistant without having to contact support.

Recommendations based on active pricing configurations

The AI Assistant provides UI change recommendations based on active Custom Pricing Table configurations.

These recommendations are connected to: service levels; accessorial application logic; pricing dimensions, and missing rates. The assistant reviews active table configurations to help users troubleshoot pricing-related issues directly inside techSHIP.
