Shipping Optimization
Powerful automation to reduce shipping costs and improve your margins.
Just the way it should be.
Fast shipping makes fast friends.
Few other factors enhance customer satisfaction or create brand loyalty more than fast shipping. The Etail D2C Operations Control Tower gives you unparalleled flexibility to deliver fast and profitably. We evaluate every order to determine the best way to package that order and the best shipping option available to help you keep those friends. And make new ones.
Reduce carton and shipping expense.
Our D2C Ops Control Tower integrates with all domestic and top international carriers, then “shops” the available carriers to select the best shipping rate. Plus it utilizes advanced cartonization capabilities to optimize packaging based on each product order – even combining or splitting orders and banding products together to produce the most efficient option to reduce carton and shipping costs.
Maximize negotiated carrier rates.
Take full advantage of the shipping rates you’ve worked so hard to get. The D2C Ops Control Tower routes orders based on fulfillment costs by location – including carrier-specific negotiated shipping rates and volume discounts.
Expand your shipping and fulfillment options.
We make it easy to expand your shipping and fulfillment strategy. Cut shipping costs by putting inventory closer to the consumer using 3PLs and other fulfillment partners. Use regional delivery partners to cut last-mile delivery costs. Eliminate shipping expenses by offering curbside or instore pickup options. Our cross-platform, cross-marketplace, cross-supplier integrations give you unlimited possibilities.
