How It Works
How It Works
ConnectShip® Merchant, powered by Progistics™ technology, is an electronic routing guide for e-commerce order management systems. Designed for front-end order-entry applications, it can be used as a stand-alone electronic routing guide or integrated into your enterprise system. When an order is placed from your Web site or order-entry application, ConnectShip Merchant determines the shipping method and calculates the shipping and handling charges. It makes these decisions by accessing carrier options and rates while taking into account all applicable business rules.
Improved Order Fulfillment
When connected with a merchant fulfillment system, ConnectShip Merchant can calculate and display helpful information for fulfilling orders placed from your online store. It uses configurable packing algorithms to determine the best packing methods, which can be based on the weights and dimensions of your products. This automates a step in the fulfillment process that is usually time-consuming and based on guesswork.
