Who Is Ruggable?
Ruggable is a leading home décor brand best known for its machine-washable rugs. The company operates a high-volume parcel fulfillment network, where shipping costs and carrier invoicing are a meaningful driver of margins and operational performance.
The Challenge
Without centralized invoice data or clear cost visibility, Ruggable lacked insight into what was actually driving shipping spend.
Fragmented shipping data required significant manual effort to clean, normalize, and consolidate across systems
Limited visibility into billed spend made it difficult to understand true cost per package or identify key surcharge drivers
Manual workflows slowed analysis, limiting the team’s ability to evaluate operational changes or model savings opportunities
The Solution
Partnering with Streamlane enabled Ruggable to analyze, forecast, and optimize shipping spend seamlessly.
Automated invoice auditing validated charges against contract terms and surfaced surcharge drivers at the package and SKU level
Scenario modeling and automated reporting allowed the team to quickly assess the impact of packaging changes, service mix shifts, and new product launches
Centralized dashboards provided a single source of truth for shipment volume and parcel spend, eliminating fragmented spreadsheets
The Results
Six figures in oversize charges avoided through packaging optimization
With SKU-level visibility into oversize surcharges, Ruggable refined packaging ahead of peak, avoiding six figures in oversize fees.
Proactive cost optimization across rate and operational changes
The team can quantify the financial impact of GRIs, peak surcharges, and operational changes before they take effect and make more cost-efficient decisions.
30 hours/month of manual work eliminated
Scenario modeling and executive-level reporting - previously slow and manual - are now fully automated.
