Scenario Modeling
Run complex scenarios and get the answers you need in real-time
Scenario Modeling and Data Simulation is at the heart of Omnicarrier Decision Intelligence. By creating digital models of your carrier contracts and using actual shipment data to run simulations of different scenarios, you’re able to gain visibility into the black box of parcel shipping
Carrier Contract Comparison
Compare every carrier contract side by side.
The complexity of carrier contracts means you have no way of knowing what you’re actually saving. And trying to compare one carrier contract to another when service levels and base rates are different? Good luck.
With Reveel, you can do your own analysis in minutes rather than hire an expensive consultant and wait for their analysis. Drag and drop a PDF, and our tech does the hard stuff so you can be confident when comparing apples to apples.
Model your full carrier mix before you commit.
Most shippers want to diversify their carrier mix but don’t know where to start or what it will cost. Adding a regional or alternative carrier changes zone penetration, revenue tier thresholds, and surcharge exposure across your whole network. Reveel models the full mix against your actual shipment history, so you see how costs shift before you sign anything.
With Scenario Modeling, you can:
- Compare carriers on total delivered cost, not headline rates
- Show savings versus exposure across your actual lanes, zones, and weight breaks
- Model scenarios based on your shipment history, not industry averages
Re-rate at the package level.
When a proposed carrier contract, a GRI, or a surcharge change lands on your desk, Reveel doesn’t apply a blended average across your shipment history. It re-rates every individual package against every term in the proposed carrier contract; dimensional weight divisors, minimum charge thresholds, surcharge interactions, all of it computed to the penny. That’s the only way to know what a change actually costs you before you sign it. Blended averages hide the packages that get hit hardest. Package-level re-rating doesn’t.
Benefits of GRI Impact Analysis
Forecast and Budget with Confidence
Don't get caught explaining why you've blown your shipping budget. Get an accurate impact of new carrier rates based on your unique shipping profile.
Take Proactive Action Before the Rates Take Effect
Know exactly where the new rates will impact you and proactively take action to mitigate areas that impact you the most.
Model and Simulate your Actual costs
Digitized carrier contracts are converted into a format that our powerful modeling and simulation software can use. You can then model new rates against your actual shipments down to the package level and run what-if simulation scenarios to see the real impact of rate changes.

FAQs
Scenario modeling and simulation is the process of creating a digital model of a carrier contract and running simulations against actual shipment data to forecast the real cost impact of rate changes, contract terms, or carrier decisions.
Carrier contracts are complex documents with varying service levels, base rates, discount structures, surcharge terms, and accessorial definitions across carriers. Without a common framework to normalize the data, it’s nearly impossible to assess which carrier contract actually delivers better value.
Reveel allows shippers to upload carrier contract PDFs directly into the platform. The system parses and indexes the key terms within each carrier contract, then applies them against actual shipment data so the comparison reflects real shipping activity. The result is a side-by-side view of what each carrier contract actually costs based on a shipper’s unique profile, without the need for a consultant or manual spreadsheet analysis.
Reveel applies new carrier rates and rules to actual historical shipment data down to the package level, producing a precise view of where costs will increase and by how much. Shippers can also run what-if scenarios to test the impact of different decisions before acting.
Spreadsheet-based forecasting relies on averages that rarely reflect a shipper’s actual cost exposure. Reveel’s modeling tools apply current and projected carrier rates directly to a shipper’s historical shipping profile, producing a forecast grounded in actual shipment data. That level of precision makes it possible to build a shipping budget that accounts for GRI impacts, surcharge changes, and carrier mix decisions.
Yes. By modeling the cost impact of different carrier contract terms, service mixes, and rate scenarios against actual shipment data, shippers can identify exactly where to focus in carrier contract strategies.
