On-time shipment, optimized freight cost

As fuel prices rise, so do delivery costs and that makes freight optimization an even more important budget factor. When Jagged Peak ships letters or packages for you we match delivery expectations with least cost routing to optimize delivery service level and cost.

Jagged Peak’s distribution network:  Dropping million dollar freight savings directly to your bottom line

Jagged Peak clients with higher shipping volumes have pocketed millions of freight dollars by using our network of warehouses. There is a huge difference between typical least cost routing (LCR) and the freight saving derived when EDGE optimizes shipments from our network. Our warehouses are strategically located so packages sent to 80% of U.S. households arrive the next day via lower cost local ground transportation.

In most systems, packages arrive in the shipping area and then least-cost routing picks the cheapest way to get them to their destinations on time. EDGE works far upstream, using sophisticated algorithms to issue shipping instructions to the warehouse with stock that is located closest to the customer. Often that warehouse can ship at a low cost local rates rather than at a high priced expedited delivery service. Customers receive their packages on the days promised, but our clients pay far less to deliver them on time.
