Problem
Managing diverse carrier networks and rising shipping costs presents a significant challenge for shippers, especially with the increasing demands of omnichannel fulfillment and customer expectations for faster and more flexible delivery options. Traditional shipping systems often lack the intelligence to make cost-effective decisions across various stages of fulfillment. This complexity leads to inefficiencies, margin erosion, and difficulties in maintaining delivery promises.
Solution
Sendflex offers a Parcel TMS platform designed to automate and optimize decision-making throughout the shipping process. The platform enables shippers to diversify their carrier network and automate cost-effective decisions in e-commerce storefronts, order allocation, fulfillment, shipping, and returns. Sendflex simplifies complex carrier service selection based on rates, transit time, shipment attributes, carrier performance, and customer preferences. The platform's no-code wizards allow managers to configure and apply instructions to orders, reducing costs and waste while optimizing capacity and customer delivery experiences.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes logistics professionals, IT departments, finance teams, marketing and sales divisions, carriers, and shipping system vendors seeking to optimize parcel shipping processes and reduce costs.
