Address-correction surcharges are one of the largest controllable categories in parcel shipping — and one of the easiest to ignore until they're a line item on the year-end review. IL shows you the original address, the corrected address, the root cause, and the cumulative cost.
What IL helps you do
- Compare original vs. corrected addresses on every shipment
- Categorize root cause by error type (PO box, suite missing, residential mis-flag, ZIP/state mismatch)
- Track total cost impact over time, by source system or business unit
- Export clean data back to your OMS, ERP, or e-commerce platform
Business impact
- Reduce recurring correction fees
- Improve upstream data quality at the source
- Lower avoidable shipping charges across every carrier
Why teams adopt this first.
The fix usually isn't at the carrier — it's in the system that captured the address in the first place. IL closes that loop: the team that pays the surcharge gets the visibility, and the team that owns the source data gets the fix list.
