New from IA! Groundbreaking Modeling Tools Built to Transform Your Parcel Operations
You’ve got 47 browser tabs open tracking different packages right now, don’t you? It’s not easy working in logistics and supply chain—your daily grind means wrangling thousands of deliveries through roads, regulations, and relentless deadlines. And if you think operations on instinct and spreadsheets will cut it, think again. Your customers want their packages within hours, your CEO wants costs cut tomorrow, and you’re stuck in the middle making both happen. What can you do about it?
Traditional methods—relying on instinct, spreadsheets, and historical data—no longer provide the level of precision needed to make the best decisions. You need:
- A single source of truth for all your data—organized, intuitive, and ready for action.
- A way to simulate decisions before you make them, combining your data with advanced algorithms to forecast outcomes—without putting your operations at risk.
Enter Intelligent Audit. Our proprietary technology transforms disparate, messy data into actionable Business Intelligence. And our Modeling Tools allow you to simulate ‘what-if’ scenarios to streamline your carrier selection, cost analysis, and contract comparisons, helping you make every shipping decision the right fit for your business.
Turning Complex Data into Actionable Insights
Logistics is built on thousands of variables—carrier contracts, rate structures, fuel surcharges, service levels, and unpredictable disruptions. Understanding how these factors interact is key to making cost-effective decisions, but their complexity often makes it difficult to determine the most effective course of action.
Modeling Tools take complex data and run it through what-if scenarios so that you can see the effects of a decision before you actually make it. You can:
- Look at your entire network and decide exactly where a DC should go, which route to take, or which stores to fulfill from to minimize delivery times and maximize savings with precise certainty.
- Test and evaluate carrier proposals against your shipping patterns in real time to know exactly how service levels, pricing tiers, and hidden details affect your on-time rates and bottom line.
- Compare complex carrier contracts side-by-side for a true 1:1 comparison—without guesswork—and understand the impact of every detail.
Strategically Design Your Distribution Network to Cut Costs and Speed Up Delivery
An optimized distribution network is one of the most powerful levers for reducing costs and improving transit times.
But many businesses don’t revisit their network design often—or strategically—enough. Why? Because the data is scattered, the process is manual, and the risk of human error is high.
That’s where our Network Optimization Tool comes in. With the right data and dynamic modeling at your fingertips, you can simulate changes in real-time, test different scenarios, and immediately see the downstream impact.
Try it. Tweak it. Test it again. No guesswork. No risk. Just smart, strategic insights—backed by data.
Our Network Optimization Tool provides a clear view of distribution networks, helping businesses analyze shipping patterns, fulfillment locations, and cost-saving opportunities. By modeling different distribution strategies, shippers can identify ways to minimize shipping zones, streamline ground shipping, and improve last-mile delivery efficiency.
How Petco Used the Network Optimization Tool to Increase Shipping Velocity Without Adding Costs
A specialty pet retailer used this tool to enhance store-based fulfillment while controlling costs. The retailer wanted to increase store fulfillment capacity but lacked data to confirm feasibility. Intelligent Audit assessed each store’s order capacity, rerouted shipments when limits were reached and identified opportunities to shift more orders to ground shipping instead of expedited services.
These insights helped the retailer shorten transit times and improve cost efficiency without major infrastructure investments. Additionally, Intelligent Audit’s modeling pinpointed optimal store and distribution center locations, refining their long-term expansion strategy based on shipping patterns and demand.
For shippers balancing omnichannel fulfillment and cost control, network optimization tools provide visibility into how distribution decisions impact transportation spend and service levels—allowing for better network efficiency and more predictable shipping costs.
Simulate Prices, Compare Services, and Configure RFPs with Data-Backed Precision
Rates change. Services evolve. Each carrier presents information differently making it nearly impossible to evaluate it all effectively, let alone act on it.
Intelligent Audit’s Parcel Optimization Tool simplifies this process by allowing shippers to simulate scenarios to:
- Test service coverage
- Compare predicted transit times against customers’ expectations
- Assess pricing structures across carriers
- Measure overall value across every detail
Data-backed decisions replace guesswork—so you can move fast, stay confident, and choose carriers that truly support your bottom line.
Make Apples-to-Apples Carrier Contract Assessments
Carrier contracts often read like a foreign language—full of vague terms, layered fees, and unclear costs that are tough to map back to your business.
Manually comparing contracts side by side can feel less like a strategic exercise and more like a frustrating fishing expedition.
Intelligent Audit’s Parcel Contract Comparison Tool provides a clear, data-backed approach to 1:1 carrier contract assessment. Businesses can:
- Compare carrier contracts side-by-side with advanced insights
- Get an in-depth cost analysis on every detail
- Understand the impact of each agreement on your parcel strategy
With automated contract analysis, shippers can uncover hidden costs, validate pricing structures, and ensure their agreements align with actual shipping needs. Instead of relying on manual comparisons, businesses gain a comprehensive view of contract implications and cost-saving opportunities, leading to smarter long-term carrier strategies.
A Smarter Approach to Shipping Decisions
Making logistics decisions based on instinct is no longer an option. Rising costs, shifting customer expectations, and ongoing disruptions require a data-driven approach. Intelligent Audit’s Modeling Tools help shippers analyze, predict, and optimize their operations, turning data into strategies that improve efficiency and reduce costs.
With predictive analytics, real-time scenario planning, and advanced contract comparison, shippers can stay ahead of pricing changes, streamline distribution networks, and optimize carrier selection. Whether it’s reducing costs, improving transit times, enhancing efficiency, or all three, our tools provide the insights needed to make informed decisions.
In today’s fast-moving logistics landscape, staying competitive means proactively managing your shipping network. Don’t wait for carrier rate increases, unexpected disruptions, or inefficiencies to force reactive decisions. Gain the data-driven insights needed to optimize operations before challenges arise.
Intelligent Audit works with businesses of all sizes to help them cut costs, optimize networks, and gain full logistics visibility.
