With ShipHawk, companies have the power to configure shipping rules to automatically choose the cheapest and best rate for a proposed shipment. Using those customizable shipping rules and enforcing them means you don’t have to worry about your warehouse team selecting a more expensive carrier or making a manual mistake.
What Are Shipping Rules?
When ShipHawk generates a proposed shipment, it automatically chooses the cheapest rate available that fits your criteria based on the shipping rules you have in place. In the beginning, during your initial setup, you will manually choose which types of shipping methods you prefer, and then ShipHawk will do the rest. Once you have the rules set up, the system’s automated shipping software will automatically find the cheapest option for the types of shipping methods you chose. Don’t worry, you can change these rules at any time without development assistance or extra cost or scope.

This can result in costly errors and much slower order processing times. Automated order processing reduces those errors by using our shipping software to choose the best and cheapest option for you every single time.
