FAQs About Parcel Shipping Analytics
What is parcel shipping analytics? How is it different from standard carrier reporting?
Parcel shipping analytics is the process of collecting, normalizing, and analyzing shipping invoice data to uncover cost inefficiencies, performance gaps, and savings opportunities across a carrier network. Standard carrier reporting shows what was spent while parcel shipping analytics explains why, and what to do about it.
What types of data does the Reveel platform analyze?
Reveel analyzes shipping invoice data across eight key performance areas: service spend, surcharge spend, average cost per shipment, minimum charges, shipping weight, average zone, carrier performance, and time in transit. The platform normalizes data across carriers and detects patterns, anomalies, and savings opportunities that manual review would miss.
How is Reveel's analytics solution different than in-house reporting tools or spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets and in-house tools require rigorous manual data entry and can’t scale with shipping volume. Reveel automates data loading, applies statistical analysis to flag anything outside normal shipping patterns, and delivers insights in near real time without overloading your team.
What carriers does Reveel support?
Reveel’s technology supports all carriers with rapid onboarding upon request. Currently, the platform supports: UPS, USPS (Direct), FedEx, DHL eCommerce, DHL Express, Amazon, Jitsu, Sway, GLS, Purolator, Uni Uni, OnTrac, Auctane – Endicia, Spee-Dee, TForce, Global-E, EHub, United Delivery Service (UDS), Pitney Bowes, OnTrac, Door Dash, FIC (FedEx), and Veho.
Can the parcel shipping analytics platform integrate with ERP or warehouse management systems?
Yes. Shippers can combine invoice data with ERP, warehouse, or budget data to enable more advanced analysis and cross-functional reporting within the platform. This makes it possible to connect shipping costs to broader business performance metrics without switching between systems.
How quickly can shippers start seeing insights after connecting their data?
Once a Reveel account is set up and carrier data is connected, the platform automatically processes shipping invoices. The timeline varies based on data volume and carrier connectivity, but the process is designed to minimize setup friction and deliver insights to shippers ASAP.
