Shipment Lifecycle
You know you sell great products, but your customers demand more: they want your products to be delivered on-time and at lowest possible cost. For every stage of the shipment cycle ShipitSmarter offers unique functionality to help you maximise your customer service yet minimise your transport cost.
1. Order creation & release
When your customers place an order, you need to be able to provide them with an accurate and reliable delivery date. At this stage, ShipitSmarter can already weigh the options and advise of the fastest or cheapest available options. Using our extensive integrations, your customer will see these options even in real-time when ordering online. And why not make money from your transport contracts? ShipitSmarter has the ability to automatically calculate any type of uplift and add transport charges to your sales orders.

Of course, there is nothing against shipping every customer order individually. Very often, however, ShipitSmarter will be able to identify smart options to consolidate multiple orders into single shipments, either for the full route or only part of it. Needless to say, a consolidated shipment will save you money without compromising the delivery date to your customer: quality and cost control can go hand-in-hand.
See solution3. Carrier selection
You have negotiated and contracted competitive rates with a multitude of carriers, but how do you know which carrier to select for a particular shipment? Taking your preferences into account (or your customer’s preferences for that matter) ShipitSmarter will determine or confirm the best carrier and service level to make sure your customers receive their goods on the day you promised and prepare the appropriate shipping labels and documents.
See solution4. Shipping
Your shipment is all set to go! At this stage, ShipitSmarter will make sure that your shipment is picked up by the carrier and will be on its way to your customer. Of course, you can track your shipment from pick-up through to delivery and in case of exceptions, ShipitSmarter can notify you, so you can act before the exception becomes an issue.

Finally, you are invoiced by the carrier. But how do you check that the invoice is accurate? ShipitSmarter can do this for you: rates and charges, information on on-time delivery and the actual invoice data are all held in the system and are compared, all at the push of a button. Improved quality by reducing effort: that is how ShipitSmarter helps you manage your transport cost.
