"On-time deliveries are the key to customer satisfaction and repeat business," said Jarrett Streebin, Founder and CEO of EasyPost. "Whether it's next day, 2 day, or ground, it's all about meeting customer expectations. The SmartRate API is the data product ecommerce businesses can't survive without."

- Improve On-Time Delivery - SmartRate uses historical carrier performance, coupled with a sophisticated predictive data model to estimate time in transit, resulting in higher accuracy predictions than using carrier estimates alone
- Enhance the End-Customer Experience - SmartRate unlocks the ability to provide highly accurate delivery estimates for every shipping option being offered at checkout
