Abstract
A method and system of simulating a cost of shipment are provided. A request for quote (RFQ) is received by a computing device from a shipper having a plurality of trade lanes. A revenue generated from each trade lane is estimated and ranked based on the estimated revenue. An original time limit is assigned to each trade lane. A trade lane with a highest ranking that has not yet been selected is selected. For the selected trade lane, graphs for space and time granularity analysis are generated. Space and time granularities that maximize accuracy within the assigned time limit based on the generated graphs are calculated. Cost simulation analysis is performed using the calculated space and time granularities. Upon determining that there are trade lanes not yet selected, there is a return to the act of selecting a trade lane.
