The multi-carrier conundrum
The shipping process does not need to be complex, yet it still is for most shippers because they miss two pieces of the puzzle.
One being accurate dimensions and the other being the ease of rate shopping.
In this day and age of automation, many warehouses still use tape measure at their warehouse and put up a separate desktop to manually find the best shipping rates, switching between endless tabs. However, any rate they get from the carrier is based on inaccurate dimensions.In fact, you might end up losing $127,000 per year due to invalid chargebacks just because of an extra inch that went unnoticed.
But what if you find both the pieces of the puzzle at the same place?
Introducing vMeasure + EasyPost: A Partnership for Success
The native integration between vMeasure automated dimensioner and EasyPost brings together the best of both worlds.
With vMeasure’s cutting-edge Computer Vision technology, you can dimension anything from an envelope to a mid-sized refrigerator in <1 second with an accuracy of 0.2 inches. There is your first piece of the puzzle.
With EasyPost’s shipping API, you can save up to 88% on retail shipping rates and get instant rates from all major carriers like FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, and more! That is your second piece of the puzzle.
Now, let us put both the pieces together. With this native integration, you can get rates from major carriers without needing an additional desktop nor do you have to worry about the accuracy of the dimensions you share with the carriers.
The power of Native Integration
What would it be like to have accuracy and ease of rate-shopping by using a single solution? Experience the power of vMeasure’s native integration with EasyPost.
- Streamlined shipping process:
Capture order information and accurate parcel measurements with vMeasure automated dimensioner, view them on the Parcel Ultima UI, and push the data to EasyPost.
- Accurate shipping label options:
Then, you never have to switch multiple tabs on a separate desktop because EasyPost sends you all the available shipping options and rates from all major carriers directly to the Parcel Ultima UI. This will let you compare rates and services from multiple carriers without requiring additional space for the desktop at your pack station.
- Label printing:
Once you choose your desired carrier, the data goes to EasyPost, generating the label with accurate dimensions and order information from the carrier through the natively integrated label printer.
As you put together the pieces of accurate dimensioning and the ease of rate shopping, what you see is the bigger picture of efficient shipping solution.
Use Cases of vMeasure + EasyPost Integration
Now that you have the power of accurate dimensioning and seamless rate shopping with a single solution, you might wonder about the different ways to put them to good use.
You should consider the vMeasure + EasyPost integration if you want to:
- Recover Revenue:
You shell out excess dollars because the dimensional data is inaccurate. It affects the choice of delivery vehicle to the final invoice amount. You could have saved some dollars by selecting a pickup truck over a box truck if only you knew the exact shipment size before calling a vehicle. Also, the invoice that arrives will most likely have a price more than what you expected.
The vMeasure + EasyPost combo will help you recover all the lost revenue with accurate dimensions for better invoicing.
- Data Management:
Even sophisticated systems would not become inefficient if they are isolated from other systems. That is why vMeasure automated dimensioner allows seamless integration with WMS, TMS, OMS, ERP, and Multi-carrier shipping software.
vMeasure’s integration will infuse accurate dimensional data to your systems and enhance the decision-making with real-time data that you can rely on.
If vMeasure alone could bring in that level of data accessibility and accuracy, think about the value addition you get from the vMeasure + EasyPost integration. You can seamlessly pass accurate parcel dimensions to the multi-carrier shipping software and get the best shipping rates on the vMeasure Parcel Ultima Touch screen without having to use an additional desktop for rate shopping.
- Shipping Cost Reduction:
Everyone in the logistics industry wants the same thing and that’s shipping cost reduction.
With vMeasure + EasyPost integration, you can avoid surcharges since you will provide accurate dimensions to the carrier. Also, this will help with the selection of a cost-effective carrier.
EasyPost saves up to 88% on retail shipping rates. Add vMeasure automated dimensioner into the mix and you are seeing a hefty shipping charges reduction!
Why prefer vMeasure + EasyPost Native Integration?
This integration aims to bring in simplicity to the shipping process of various online vendors. From providing accurate dimensions to rate shopping with one solution, this combination will benefit you in the following ways:
- Accurate shipping labels:
You don’t want to infuse the wrong information while printing shipping labels since it topples the entire delivery process out of balance. For instance, the wrong receiver address will affect the last mile delivery and the wrong parcel dimensions affect its transportation.
With vMeasure + EasyPost integration, you get precise dimensions for accurate shipping labels and avoid costly errors that delay the shipping process. You could also win some customers by ensuring the delivery reaches them in time.
- Eliminate manual data input and save time:
The warehouse associate at the pack station need not navigate between multiple tabs to rate shop nor does he have to manually measure parcels.
You could automate the entire dimensioning and rate shopping workflow with this integration. Get accurate dimensions in <1 second in vMeasure and pass the dimensional data to EasyPost from within the vMeasure system.
Then, get competitive shipping rates from all major carriers from EasyPost and generate shipping labels directly from the vMeasure Touchscreen UI through natively integrated shipping label print.
This will save time and resources, paving the way for more efficient warehouse operations.
- Enhanced data management:
This integration enhances the flow of data between the vMeasure and the EasyPost system with little to no manual effort. You could also improve the data accuracy, accessibility, and security to empower data-driven decision-making for better business outcomes.
