Reveel's Inaugural Parcel Shipping Intelligence Report: Key Insights

Reveel, a leader in Shipping Intelligence, has unveiled its latest research study—the 2025 Parcel Shipping Intelligence Market Survey Report. This report sheds light on the rising complexities and costs of parcel shipping, as well as the strategies companies are considering to adapt to these changes. Collaborating with a third-party research organization, Reveel gathered data from over 150 supply chain and logistics professionals across North America through a double-blind survey.

Key Findings and Trends

The just-released report outlines several significant trends affecting the parcel shipping landscape. A staggering 87% of respondents expect their shipping volumes to either increase or remain stable this year. However, this optimism is countered by a notable concern: 44% of participants reported a lack of adequate information regarding their shipping expenses, highlighting a possible knowledge gap in managing costs. This uncertainty may lead to greater frustration with current carriers, especially since a remarkable 91% of respondents plan to expand their carrier networks as a tactical response to these challenges.

Jack McCrum, Reveel's Director of Optimization and Analytics, points to creative tactics employed by carriers around pricing. He remarks that consistent incremental rate increases and unforeseen fee adjustments compound the issues faced by shippers. As a consequence, larger companies are likely to utilize more carriers to gain better rate negotiations and stability.

The Importance of Data and Automation

Further analysis uncovered additional critical areas where shippers feel underprepared. The report reveals that more than 50% of respondents lack insight in essential areas such as demand forecasting (59%), vendor performance (57%), and inventory levels (50%). These factors are crucial for operational efficiency and the formulation of sound strategies for cost management. In response, 48% of respondents believe embracing automation is a promising pathway for reducing expenses in their logistics processes.

Josh Dunham, CEO and Co-Founder of Reveel, emphasizes that parcel shipping remains a largely under-managed sector within the supply chain, despite its high impact on operational costs and efficiency. He asserts that the company’s mission is to empower shippers by providing them with technology that facilitates comprehensive understanding of shipping data, enhances carrier relationships, and uncovers savings opportunities that benefit the bottom line.

Logistics Expenses and Future Prospects

According to the respondents, logistics costs currently represent an average of 22% of their total operating expenses. Within their logistics budgets, the breakdown of allocated parcel shipping funds is noteworthy:

• - 37% of respondents allocate between $2 million and $10 million
• - 42% allocate between $10 million and $50 million
• - 21% dedicate over $50 million to parcel shipping

As shipping expenses escalate due to continuous carrier rate increases throughout the year, it underscores the pressing requirement for advanced analytics and integrated data capabilities, enabling greater visibility and command over shipping strategies.

What Lies Ahead

To navigate these challenges effectively, organizations are encouraged to utilize tools that empower them to negotiate better contracts, implement predictive modeling, and optimize spend across various carriers—all centralized within Reveel’s Parcel Shipping Intelligence Platform. The report emphasizes that technology plays a pivotal role in transforming complexity into clarity, allowing for more informed decision-making.
