How ClickShip Automates Your Shipping Process

In the bustling world of eCommerce, efficiency reigns supreme. From managing orders to coordinating with carriers and ensuring on-time deliveries, shipping can be daunting. But with ClickShip, it doesn’t have to be.

Designed to simplify the entire shipping and fulfillment process, ClickShip offers a powerful suite of automation tools that help save time, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction.

Let’s explore how ClickShip can transform your shipping process, giving your business the tools to ship smarter—not harder.

Multi-Channel Synchronization

Today, it is more common for eCommerce professionals to sell across multiple channels. While diversifying your sales channels can be an effective way to increase your reach and customer base, managing the fulfillment of those orders can prove to be a logistical headache without the right tools.

ClickShip eliminates these challenges by integrating with several of the most popular and widely used eCommerce platforms and online marketplaces, seamlessly syncing the orders across all your sales channels and helping you book shipments for all your customer orders from one centralized platform.

By automating the aggregation of your customers’ orders across different sales channels, you reduce the time spent on fulfillment, reduce the likelihood of errors or missed orders, and provide a better customer experience.

Streamlining Shipping Quotes with Multi-Carrier Rating

Shipping costs can quickly add up, especially for businesses operating on tight budgets. High shipping fees can deter customers from completing their purchases, leading to lost revenue.

While it is certainly possible to search for, negotiate, and book lower rates, this process is incredibly time-consuming and difficult, especially for smaller businesses who lack the resources and shipping volumes.

ClickShip’s multi-carrier rating system automatically provides discounted, real-time rates for both parcel and pallet shipping services from the most trusted carriers in North America every time you book, automating the entire process of searching for the right quote. Many integrations allow you to provide real-time rates at checkout, so that your customers can select the best rates and services suited to their needs, saving you even more time.

Optimizing Costs with Packaging Presets

Proper packaging plays a vital role in the eCommerce shipping process, not just for safeguarding orders while in transit, but also in ensuring that the shipping rates for those orders are as affordable as possible for all parties involved.

Naturally, manually choosing the optimal packaging for every order would be incredibly time-consuming, which is why being able to automate this process is integral to keeping your fulfillment process moving smoothly.

ClickShip’s Smart Packaging Optimizer matches packaging presets to your customers’ orders, even offering a test environment to simulate how those presets will affect your real-time rates. Our OneSKU, Multi-Box functionality lets you rate large multi-package items as individual boxes, rather than a single unit.

Providing Real-Time Tracking for Greater Visibility

Shipment tracking is practically a necessity in modern eCommerce. Customers expect visibility of their orders throughout the whole shipping journey.

This is why ClickShip’s Advanced Custom Branding feature offers robust tracking tools that keep your customers up-to-date while putting your business front and centre.

Not only do your customers get automated email updates at critical points in their order’s shipping journey, but you also have the option to create custom-branded tracking pages to keep your customers updated on their terms.

Utilizing Shipping Rules for Complete Automation

Not only does ClickShip offer tools to help you automate individual areas of the shipping and fulfillment process, it offers a tool that helps you automate how all those tools work together.

ClickShip’s Advanced Shipping Rules give you the power to create unlimited automation rules based on parameters that you set. These rules can effectively automate the entire process of booking and fulfilling your customers’ orders, leaving you with nothing to do but apply a shipping label and see the orders off!
