01
Residential misclassification on commercial addresses
Home-office shipments often correctly residential, but business-office shipments frequently misclassified. Each one is $4–6.
Industries · Office Supplies
Recurring B2B routes, audited line by line.
Office supply distribution is unsexy parcel — same addresses, same SKUs, same routes. That predictability is leverage. We audit residential misclassification, renegotiate dim divisors, and clean up the surcharge stack.
Where the money leaks
Three problems we see in every office supplies audit.
02
Heavy paper and ink ship at punitive bands
Cases of paper and ink cartridges land in heavy weight bands billed without dedicated negotiation.
03
Long-tail SKUs route inefficiently
Office supply mix is enormous. Default carrier routing rarely wins per-SKU.
Our playbook
Four levers, specifically for office supplies.
01
Address classification audit
Every shipment classified against commercial database. Refunds recovered, future invoices fixed at source.
02
Heavy-band negotiation
Paper, ink, toner — the heavy SKUs get their own rate-sheet conversation.
03
Per-SKU routing
Rate-shop respects which carrier wins each SKU's weight and lane combination.
04
Recurring-route discounts
Repeat commercial deliveries leveraged in the next contract negotiation.
