Systems, methods, and computer program products for implementing a precision rate structure across one or more geographical areas

A non-transitory computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• (A) a first executable portion configured for receiving and storing a plurality of data, wherein said data comprises:
• (i) rate data comprising an existing rate for delivery of packages within said geographical area;
• (ii) one or more pre-determined parameters associated with said geographical area;
• and
• (iii) 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) a second executable portion configured for calculating at least one of cost data and profit data for each service point associated with said received service point data;
• (C) a third executable portion configured for comparing said calculated at least one of cost data and profit data against said one or more pre-determined parameters;
• and
• (D) a fourth executable portion configured for, in response to at least a portion of said calculated data differing from said one or more parameters, generating rate adjustment instructions, said instructions being configured for implementation of an adjustment to said rate data.

A computer-implemented method for determining a rate adjustment for at least one service point within a geographical area, the method comprising the steps of:

• (A) receiving and storing service point data within one or more memory storage areas, 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) retrieving from the one or more memory storage areas at least a portion of existing rate data, the existing rate data comprising an existing rate for delivery of packages within said geographical area;
• (C) calculating, via at least one computer processor, at least one of cost data and profit data for each service point associated with said received service point data;
• (D) comparing, via said at least one computer processor, said calculated at least one of cost data and profit data against 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.
