Demand / Peak Impact Analysis

Know what peak pricing is costing you.

Peak and demand surcharge analysis, calculated from your shipment data.

UPS and FedEx impose demand and peak surcharges across specific service types, package profiles, and shipping windows, and the cumulative cost is rarely what shippers expect. We apply your carrier’s published surcharge schedules to your actual shipments and break the exposure down by service type and surcharge category.
