OSCO: Order Shipment Cost Optimization Software
Automates selection of optimal shipping box/boxes to cut labor, shipping, and material costs while being eco-friendly.
- Reduce Shipment Costs
- Reduce Labor Costs
- Reduce Packing Material Costs
- Reduce/Eliminate DIM Weight charges
- Reduce/Eliminate Orversize charges
- Reduce Environmental Waste / Go Green
Integrates with Order Processing systems: Automatically generates packing slips/manifests for each shipment box at time of order processing. Manifest includes details of all items that should be loaded per box and the total shipment weight of each box.
Small Footprint, High Performance Server Software: Returns results in real-time (less than one second in most cases). OSCO can run on most Server and Desktop based systems (including Windows Server 2008/2003/2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X).

OSCO: Key Features and Benefits
- Generates Automatic Shipping Solution to Save Labor Cost
- Reduces labor time in searching/trying for the right size box
- Eliminates labor time wasted when order does not fit in the selected box, resulting in redundant labor spent in transferring items to bigger box.
- Automatic generation of packing/manifest/list(pick list) for each shipping box
-
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
- Reduces shipping cost by using one vendor to get volume discounts. (OSCO eliminates/reduces the need to ship large orders via LTL or other shipment methods)
- Avoids using oversize boxes that can be expensive to ship by optimally dividing shipments into multiple standard size boxes
- Enforces weight limits per shipment box to prevent over-weight penalties
- Reduce/Eliminate DIM Weight charges
- Reduce/Eliminate Orversize charges
UPS and FedEx define a package as oversize if - OSCO can split up the order into multiple boxes to avoid oversize charges
- Saves the Planet Too! - Go Green While Saving Money
- Reduces packaging material.
- Cuts fuel usage, reduces emissions by generating optimal sized shipment solution
DIM weight or Dimensional weight is the weight of the package calculated in pounds per cubic foot. In case of a big package of light weight, shippment charges are based on DIM weight and not actual weight. These charges are much higher than actual weight charges.
