Case Study: Global Retail cuts hidden shipping costs with Intelligent Audit

Anomaly Detection Uncovers Hidden 250% Spike in Costs

A global retail client of Intelligent Audit was facing a significant and unexpected cost increase from a new e-commerce initiative for an acquired product line. The company was unaware that the packaging for certain items exceeded carrier size limits, leading to massive hidden surcharges that turned the revenue-generating project into a cost center.

Intelligent Audit used its proprietary machine learning anomaly detection to identify the root cause: a 250% cost-per-shipment spike due to large-package fees. This allowed the customer to quickly adjust their shipping settings and pricing, which restored profitability and increased their margins.
