-
Selects Most Optimal/Cheapest Shipment Solution
- Reduces shipping cost(UPS/FedEx/DHL/USPS) by using smallest size and least number of shipping boxes.
- Reduces dimensional weight resulting in cheaper shipping cost for large but light weight order items.
-
Generates Multiple Savings in Material Cost
- Reduces corrugated costs by using smaller and fewer shipping boxes.
- Reduces packing material cost by using less packing/filler materials such as bubble wrap, air bags, packing peanuts.
-
More Savings Through Standardizations and Reduced Mistakes
