Parcel Network Orchestration

Do you know the lowest your parcel distribution can cost you?

Can you prove it?

One carrier or many, ParcelAdvisor establishes the lowest feasible cost for the operation you need to run, keeps that answer current, and recommends what to do next—with the alternatives, tradeoffs, and evidence behind it.

Establish your cost floor

1 · Establish the floor

Find the lowest cost that can actually support your operation.

Not a generic benchmark, the lowest published rate, or a handful of scenarios. Mixed-integer linear programming optimizes across the modeled feasible solution space.

Your current plan: What the operation is expected to cost
MinusYour parcel cost floor: The optimized minimum across every eligible option and operating constraint—with solver evidence
EqualsYour gap: Where the current plan costs more—and why
Which informsYour next move: What to change, negotiate, prepare, or keep

Every result retains the shipments, terms, constraints, solver status, best bound, and optimality gap behind the answer.

Product intelligence in action

The proposal is cheaper today. After the 2027 GRI, the current contract costs less.

At today’s volume and rates, the proposal models $546,323 in annualized savings—enough for most analyses to say yes. But its DIM concession also lowers the gross spend used for tier qualification. When the 2027 GRI moves the current contract into Tier 3 while the proposal remains in Tier 2, the advantage reverses. ParcelAdvisor proves the crossover and shows what to negotiate before signing.

Executive summary

The DIM savings also push the next discount tier farther away.

The concession removes $2.31M of tier-qualifying gross. When the 2027 GRI hits, the current contract reaches Tier 3; the proposal does not.

Why it matters

Current contract and proposal tier paths after the 2027 general rate increase
Contract path	Today	When GRI hits
Current contract	$847,422 / week gross	Reaches Tier 3
Proposal as written	$803,021 / week gross	Stays in Tier 2

Reaching Tier 3 makes the current contract cheaper.

ParcelAdvisor recommendation

Protect the tier, then accept.

Proposed Tier 3 threshold

$855,599 / week

Offsets the $44,401/week of qualifying gross removed by the DIM concession.

Equivalent protections

Credit $44,401/week as deemed gross
Guarantee Tier 3 on the current schedule

If the carrier declines, keep negotiating or retain the current contract.

Start with one decision

Bring one parcel decision. Leave knowing what it should cost.

Use a recent proposal, rate change, carrier option, or current network question. We’ll define the scope, establish the floor, and show the evidence behind the answer.
