To tackle rising shipping costs and surcharges, our Parcel TMS Platform provides shippers with a proactive, cost-saving approach that extends throughout the entire order-to-invoice process. By integrating high-speed rate calculations, cartonization algorithms, order optimization rules, and cost controls directly into digital storefronts, ERP, and fulfillment systems, we enable shippers to control shipping costs in real time. Here’s how:

• High-Speed Rate Calculations: Many shippers rely on slow, unreliable carrier rating APIs and often underestimate the impact of post-shipping surcharges. Our optimization engine accurately processes 1,000s of rates, transit times, cartonization calculations, and business rules per second, taking all surcharges and fees into account.
• Expanded Delivery Options in Digital Storefronts: Many shippers use rules of thumb or averages to calculate costs during online purchase processes. Our speed opens the door to presenting consumers with more delivery options while making smarter, diversified carrier routing decisions that avoid costly surcharges and fees.
• Smart Order Allocation: Omni-channel strategies are based on locating inventory closer to consumers to reduce delivery distances and times in transit. We help determine optimal fulfillment origins based on factors like inventory availability, shipping costs, and delivery promises.
• Parcel Optimization Planning: Legacy shipping systems can only process one order at a time, usually at shipping stations when it is too late to enforce cost-effective carrier service selection rules. Our powerful optimization engine is designed to apply packing, routing, and customer preference instructions across waves of orders upstream from shipping. We identify and are able to avoid unexpected surcharges such as oversize, residential, extended delivery, dimensional weight adjustments, and address corrections.
• Carrier Discount Tier Monitoring: Many customers are afraid of losing primary carrier discounts if they diversify their carrier services network. We monitor carrier incentive targets and only allow routing to alternative carriers once discount tier levels are achieved, thereby preserving discounts.
• “What if” Scenario Modeling: IT professionals have always had the benefit of “sandboxes” to test new technologies. Our simulator offers logistics professionals the same advantage by applying optimization instructions against historical data to measure potential savings on surcharge avoidance and delivery time improvements.

With our Parcel TMS, you’re no longer at the mercy of skyrocketing surcharges and hidden fees. It’s time to take back control of your shipping costs—every single day of the year.
