Estimating Shipping Costs

Optimize shipping costs and enhance revenue recovery

Shipping costs are a large piece of any retail distribution, ecommerce fulfillment, and parcel processing facility. To optimize shipping costs, facilities must have the capability to audit the charges they receive for shipping and understand if they line up with expectations based on item sizes. Many companies today still have manual operations around packing and shipping. As more products begin to “ship in own container” traditional measuring equipment struggles to provide accurate dimensions on the variety of products. If shipments are not optimally prepared, organizations spend extra money on packaging and additional truckloads.
