The Cheapest Courier, Every Time
The Cheapest Courier, Every Time
— Automatically
Shipping cost isn't fixed — it changes by courier, zone, weight slab, and delivery mode, and the cheapest option for one order is rarely the cheapest for the next. Shiplystic's Rate Comparison Engine checks live rates across every connected courier partner for each individual shipment and selects the most cost-effective option that still meets your service requirements.

Precise Slab CalculationRule-Based Courier Auto Selection
Establish tailored priority rules — such as prioritizing absolute lowest cost, fastest delivery transit times, or preferred carriers — and let the engine automate assignments at scale.
Automated Rule EngineFull Landed Cost Visibility
Review the comprehensive landed cost, including base freight rates, cash on delivery (COD) fees, fuel surcharges, and GST, prior to booking. No surprise courier billing adjustments.
Zero Surprise SurchargesBulk Shipment Rate Shopping
Perform instant, bulk rate shopping audits across hundreds of orders simultaneously, eliminating the manual task of selecting courier rates individual order by order.
Multi-Order AuditWhy It Matters
Manually checking rates across couriers doesn't scale past a handful of daily orders — and defaulting to a single "preferred" courier for every shipment usually means overpaying on a meaningful share of them, since no single courier is cheapest for every zone and weight combination.
The Rate Comparison Engine removes that trade-off: you get the operational simplicity of a single shipping dashboard combined with the cost efficiency of shopping every single order across India's largest carrier network.

Who This Is For
Operational optimization built specifically for scaling retail and supply chain teams.
D2C Brands
For brands shipping across mixed zones and weight profiles where no single courier is consistently the cheapest option across every postal code.
3PL Operators
For logistics centers managing shipping costs across dozens of client brands, each with different margin tolerances and SLA agreements.
Enterprise Shippers
For large brands managing high monthly order volumes, where saving even small amount per parcel compounds into massive bottom-line impact.
Finance & Ops Teams
For finance departments requiring predictable, fully auditable shipping costs based on clear logic rather than arbitrary manual carrier selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Shiplystic's live rate optimization capabilities.
Does the Rate Comparison Engine show the full landed cost, or just the base courier rate?
Yes, the engine displays the complete landed cost, including base freight rates, Cash on Delivery (COD) collection fees, GST (18%), fuel/security surcharges, and any area-specific delivery additions. This transparency ensures that you compare actual invoice costs before finalizing courier assignments.
Can I set rules to prioritize delivery speed over cost for certain orders?
Yes. You can configure custom automation rules within your account. For instance, you can prioritize delivery speed (transit time SLAs) for express orders, set a rule to prioritize specific carriers for high-value cargo, or fallback to the absolute cheapest rate for standard shipping.
Does this work for bulk/B2B shipments as well as individual D2C parcels?
Yes — the Rate Comparison Engine calculates and compares rates across shipment profiles of all sizes. This includes standard D2C parcels, bulk shipment uploads, and heavy B2B shipments, ensuring optimization for all logistics modes.
