How did vMeasure reduce an online books retailer’s shipping charges with the DesktopShipper’s native integration?
Process
Case Study Summary
Problems faced by the Client
The manual dimensioning process stalled the growth of order throughput because it was time-consuming.
It was difficult to predict shipping costs as the company did not provide accurate dimensions which resulted in surcharges and penalties for not quoting the right dimensions.
The company could not decrease their shipping spend since the parcel dimensions were overstated most of the time.
The company couldn’t get their choice of carriers right since they had inaccurate dimensions which led to suboptimal carrier selection.
The management could not arrive upon a favourable contract between the carrier since they did not have accurate dimensions.
Despite having the DesktopShipper application that simplified the shipping label generation process, those labels were erroneous because the dimensions were still acquired from manual processes.
Maintenance and dissemination of data became difficult as most of the information were handwritten or partly digitized.
The DesktopShipper application simplified the company’s shipping process, yet the absence of accurate dimensions did not let them use the application to its fullest potential.
Difficulty in scaling up warehouse operations without significant increases in IT resources.
