Sendflex’s New Modeling Tool Turns Static Data Complexity Into Interactive, Real-time Whiteboard-Style Visualizations

Powered by Sendflex’s high-speed rating engine, the Modeling Whiteboard updates metrics instantly as scenarios are adjusted, letting logistics teams discuss, test and refine parcel strategies together in realtime, as they would at a whiteboard, without waiting.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass.  Aug. 19, 2026 — Sendflex Technology, Inc., a parcel Transportation Management System (TMS) platform, today announced the release of its Modeling Whiteboard, a new addition to its simulation modeling suite. Because it’s powered by Sendflex’s high-speed rating and routing engine, the Modeling Whiteboard renders graphical visualizations instantly as users adjust carriers, locations, tolerances and business rules against order, invoice, and historical shipping data.

“Complexity is king in the parcel industry,” said Bob Malley, Founder and CEO of Sendflex. “But so are static spreadsheets and hard coded scripts that are difficult for business people to understand, and take hours, sometimes days, to change. Our Modeling Whiteboard takes full advantage of Sendflex’s high-speed rating and routing engine, so every adjustment updates results instantly. That lets sales, operations, and finance sit down together and have the same kind of productive conversation they’d have standing around a whiteboard.”

Immediate Whiteboarding Results Rendered by High-Speed Rating &Routing

Parcel carrier pricing models have grown increasingly complex, with floating discount structures and surcharge proliferation making delivery options harder to compare than ever. Spreadsheets and hard coded scripts can’t keep pace, and by the time a model is rebuilt, the conversation has moved on. Because it’s powered by an in-platform engine capable of processing millions of rates and routes per second, Sendflex’s Modeling Whiteboard renders cost saving results in real time. Change a carrier, location or tolerance with the drag-and-drop tools, and the results appear instantly, so teams can continue to iterate scenarios in real time.

Key Use Cases

  • 3PL bid management: Import prospect data, configure prospect-specific rate cards with markups or discounts, then run and refine models in seconds, removing friction from the 3PL sales process.
  • Carrier rate negotiations: Run a “what if” analysis to compare historical carrier costs against proposed General RateIncreases (GRI), iterating in real time to determine actual financial impacts.
  • Order optimization: Determine the best location and carrier services to use across batches of orders based on cost, minimums, promise dates, consolidation, air-to-ground conversions, and other business rules.
  • B2B Shipping Markups: Simulate the impact of changes to supplier sourcing and rate markups and discounts based on order data or historical shipping data.
  • Invoice validation: Import and compare contract rate cards against carrier invoice data to flag anomalies. Simulate alternative carrier routing impacts to avoid unexpected surcharges.

Part of a Broader Modeling Suite

The new Modeling Whiteboard adds to Sendflex’s suite of planning, simulation, and agentic AI data visualization tools. This addition gives analysts a purpose-built way to see, in real time, how changes to rate and routing configurations will impact margins and customer delivery expectations, turning a single analyst’s model into a conversation the whole team can gather around.

Availability

This new Modeling Whiteboard is available now to Sendflex customers across retail, eCommerce, B2B/wholesale, 3PL, healthcare, and technology/services industries. For more information or to schedule a demo, visit www.sendflex.com.
