Postpivot

Small businesses exposed to one postal carrier may want contingency plans when finances, contracts or service levels become uncertain. Historical labels can reveal zones, weights and service choices, but a model cannot assume that another carrier will accept each package, honor a public rate, provide equivalent coverage or perform the same way.

Postpivot imports an authorized shipment history and normalizes origin, destination zone, weight, dimensions, service, residential status, surcharge and realized charge where available. Carrier rates come from the shipper's own agreement or approved published source. Each comparison preserves validity date, eligibility, pickup requirements and excluded accessorials.

The product produces scenario ranges by product and destination, plus an implementation checklist for operator review. It does not guarantee cost reduction, predict service performance or rewrite live routing rules. Rate estimate, carrier quote, configured rule, label purchase, acceptance scan, delivery and final invoice remain separate.

The supplied trigger supports contingency planning but does not mean every small shipper should leave the postal service. A mixed-carrier plan must preserve rural coverage, returns, claims, pickup operations and customer promises.
