SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR IMPLEMENTING A PRECISION RATE STRUCTURE ACROSS ONE OR MORE GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS

摘要

Various embodiments provide a rate structuring system for determining a rate adjustment for at least one service point within a geographical area. In certain embodiments, the system comprises one or more computer processors configured to: receive service point data comprising one or more real-time observed characteristics associated with delivery of at least one package to one or more of said at least one service points within said geographical area; retrieve rate data; calculate at least one of cost data and profit data for each service point associated with said received service point data; compare said calculated cost/profit data against one or more parameters; and in response to at least a portion of said calculated data differing from said one or more parameters, generate rate adjustment instructions, said instructions being configured for implementation of an adjustment to said rate data. Associated computer program products and computer implemented methods are also provided.

主权项

1. A rate structuring system for determining a rate adjustment for at least one service point within a geographical area, said system comprising:
one or more memory storage areas containing at least rate data and one or more parameters, said rate data comprising an existing rate for delivery of packages within said geographical area; and one or more computer processors configured to:
(A) receive service point data, said service point data comprising one or more real-time observed characteristics associated with delivery of at least one package to one or more of said at least one service points within said geographical area;(B) retrieve at least a portion of said rate data contained in the one or more memory storage areas;(C) calculate at least one of cost data and profit data for each service point associated with said received service point data;(D) compare said calculated at least one of cost data and profit data against said one or more parameters contained in the one or more memory storage areas; and(E) in response to at least a portion of said calculated data differing from said one or more parameters, generate rate adjustment instructions, said instructions being configured for implementation of an adjustment to said rate data.
