ShipScience

ShipScience organises its offering around outcomes rather than features, presenting solutions by goal: reduce shipping costs, win more parcel claims, and prepare for the general rate increase. That last item is the annual carrier price rise, and treating preparation for it as a distinct product reflects how much of parcel spend management is really about anticipating carrier behaviour.

Contract work is the deepest part of the offering. Rate Negotiations is a full service engagement to optimise and own custom rates. Bid Rating scores a carrier proposal before it is signed, which addresses the point of maximum leverage and minimum information for a shipper. The Contract Pricing Blueprint sets out what fair looks like by the numbers, and a Contract Negotiation Blueprint provides a data built playbook.

GRI Impact Analysis calculates a shipper's real annual rate increase rather than the headline percentage carriers publish, since the announced figure rarely matches what a specific shipping profile actually experiences.

Industry coverage is broad, spanning apparel and accessories, beauty, supplements, furniture, big and bulky, subscription boxes, third party logistics, fulfilment, electronics, food and perishables, wholesale, manufacturing, sporting goods and automotive aftermarket. Published rates cover advisory and strategy at 350 dollars per hour, with custom project and diligence work quoted separately.
