Shipping cost optimization

Cut shipping costs.
Optimize your freight operation.

AVIO is more than rates. Our optimization team audits your shipping operation top to bottom – then plugs in the software, processes and partners that cut spend and accelerate throughput.

What we optimise

Level up your shipping game with hands-on expert guidance.

01 / Rate engineering

Negotiate the rates carriers don't advertise.

We audit every line of your last 12 months of carrier invoices, model your lane mix, and rebuild your rate cards from scratch – usually unlocking 22–58% in immediate savings.

02 / Carrier mix

Right carrier, right zone, right SLA.

Stop overpaying FedEx for zone-2 ground that USPS does cheaper, faster. Our mix engine assigns each shipment to its lowest-cost-to-serve carrier – automatically.

03 / Packaging

Right-size every box.

Dim weight is killing your margin. We model your SKU catalogue, design a tighter box library, and integrate void-fill SOPs at the pick line. Typical impact: 18% lower DIM charges.

04 / Returns

Turn returns from cost-center to retention engine.

Branded returns portals, smart routing to closest restock node, instant store credit. Returns become 3× cheaper – and customers come back.

05 / Warehouse OS

Software that watches every parcel, every minute.

A real-time dashboard for your fulfilment ops: SLA risk by lane, carrier on-time %, cost-per-parcel by SKU, exception queues. Plug-in integrations with Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon, WooCommerce, Etsy, eBay, QuickBooks and EasyPost.

The AVIO approach

We're not service providers. We're strategic partners.

Our approach is hands-on. We don't drop a deck and disappear. AVIO operators sit alongside your team – in your warehouse, in your dashboard, on your Slack – until the new ops state is humming.

Our promise

If we don't find at least 15% in savings in your first audit, we don't bill you.
