The Unaudited Dimensional Weight Margin Trapped in Your Carton Suite.
Our engine is proprietary technology deployed through a specialized advisory engagement. We model historical parcel manifests against 3D constrained spatial packing models and your active carrier rate cards—quantifying the exact margin lost to dimensional weight penalties, excess cubic void, and misallocated packaging.
The Anatomy of a Forensic Margin Audit.
We do not simply calculate ‘smaller boxes.’ We reconstruct your shipment history against spatial physics, warehouse operational constraints, and carrier rate cards.
Historical Baseline Ingestion.
We ingest up to 250,000 past outbound carrier manifests and your SKU master data, mapping spatial package density directly against your contractual carrier rate cards, custom DIM divisors, and minimum net billable charges (or standard carrier schedules where custom contracts are unprovided).
Multi-Orientation Geometric Modeling.
We map your product dimensions against an engineered carton library. The algorithm calculates 6-degree rotational freedom for rigid goods, applies an engineered structural clearance tolerance (calibrated to corrugate flute caliper), and accounts for deformable soft goods to find the true minimum viable cube.
Carrier Rate & Tier-Cliff Logic.
Volume reductions only matter if they cross a carrier billing cliff. We run the optimized dimensions back through your specific FedEx/UPS rate matrix, accounting for minimum zone floors, residential surcharges, and fuel indices.
Operational Friction Deduction.
We subtract the realities of the warehouse floor from the gross savings. We deduct the unit-cost delta of procuring new corrugated cardboard, the cost of protective void-fill, and a baseline packer-error rate to deliver a purely implementable net margin recovery figure.
Two Distinct Tiers. Zero Ambiguity.
From a complimentary preliminary feasibility scan to a comprehensive forensic audit and turnkey warehouse rollout. No contingency billing, recurring percentage cuts, or multi-year clawbacks.
