Parcel shipping for wholesale and manufacturing.

Control cost across heavy, high-volume B2B shipping.

Wholesale and manufacturing shippers move heavy, palletized, multi-account volume, where the parcel-versus-freight decision and the contract terms underneath it decide your margin. We model the whole picture against your shipments.

The wholesale & manufacturing problem

High volume and heavy freight mean small per-shipment inefficiencies compound into large numbers, and most go unaudited.

Parcel vs freight is rarely optimized

Heavy and bulky B2B orders often ride parcel when freight would be cheaper, or the reverse. Without modeling, you can't see which lane belongs where.

Volume hides leakage

At high shipment counts, a few dollars of misapplied DIM, oversize, or residential fees per order compounds into a major recurring cost.

Complex contracts, many accounts

Multiple locations, carriers, and accounts make it hard to see your true blended cost or whether your rates are competitive.

How ShipScience helps

We unify the data, optimize the carrier and mode mix, and renegotiate the contract underneath it.

At wholesale and manufacturing volume, a few dollars of leakage per shipment becomes a major recurring cost, and the parcel-versus-freight call moves real money. We work the rate, the mode, and the audit together.

Frequently asked

Should my heavy orders ship parcel or freight?

It depends on weight, dimensions, and lanes. Our Network Strategy team models parcel versus LTL freight versus regional carriers against your actual shipments to find the lowest landed cost.

Can you handle multiple carriers and accounts?

Yes. The Parcel Data Platform is built for multi-carrier, multi-account environments, and we audit and negotiate across all of them.
