Industry-wide dimensional billing changes are reshaping cold chain logistics. Learn how CrēdoGo™ helps reduce cost, weight, and environmental impact—backed by real-world results.
Courier Billing Changes Are Here: What You Need to Know
In 2025, courier networks began implementing significant changes to dimensional weight billing. These updates—already in effect across various carriers—are impacting pharmaceutical and life sciences shipments, particularly those using oversized or underutilized packaging.
The Challenge: Rising Costs, Shrinking Margins
New billing models place greater emphasis on volumetric efficiency rather than just weight. As a result, shipments with inefficient payload fitment now face elevated transportation costs.
For pharma and life sciences organizations striving to balance cold chain integrity, operational efficiency, and sustainability, these cost increases pose a substantial challenge.
Introducing CrēdoGo: Optimized Shipping Solution
Peli BioThermal’s CrēdoGo platform, powered by the innovative TruFit algorithm, addresses these challenges head-on:
· Dimensionally Optimized Design: Purpose-built dimensions and efficient coolant configuration minimize unused space—reducing both dimensional charges and actual weight to lower shipping costs.
· TruFit Process Advantage: Adapts to specific product shapes, sizes, and quantities, ensuring a snug, secure fit that eliminates costly excess space.
· Durable and Sustainable: Designed to safeguard products through over 100 uses in its five-year life, minimizing damage, reducing waste, and supporting long-term supply chain sustainability.
· Universal Design and Enhanced Efficiency: Robust construction and modular flexibility support a wide range of temperature profiles and payloads—eliminating seasonal changeovers, reducing operational complexity, and standardizing processes across the cold chain from CRT to frozen.
Visualizing the Savings: Comparative Analysis
To illustrate the effectiveness of CrēdoGo, let’s examine potential cost savings through comparative charts:
Cost Reduction Example: A comparison graph clearly displaying potential savings per shipment when utilizing CrēdoGo against traditional oversized pharmaceutical packaging. Customer results show reductions in outbound billable weight of up to 45%, and up to 30% fewer shipments due to payload and box standardization.
Environmental Impact: Charts demonstrating up to 45% lower cradle-to-grave emissions and up to 95% reduction in landfill waste when replacing single-use EPS packaging with CrēdoGo.
Real-World Success Stories
Pharmaceutical companies currently leveraging CrēdoGo have reported substantial cost reductions:
· Reduced Shipping Expenses: Up to 30% savings in dimensional weight-related freight charges based on box redesign and optimization.
· Enhanced Sustainability: Significant reduction in packaging waste and total carbon footprint across global shipment volumes.
· Operational Efficiency: Streamlined packing processes, simplified pack-outs, and faster deployment—all contributing to improved throughput and reduced training time.
