WMS Feature Highlight
Simplify fulfillment operations with our
cartonization features.
Cartonization is the process of understanding the dimensions of the different types and sizes of packaging you use to suggest the optimal selection.
Not only does this increase fulfillment efficiency, it also lowers the overall cost of fulfillment in both shipping cost and packaging cost.
Inventory Demand & Planning
Main Feature Benefits
Increase Fulfillment Efficiency – Packaging suggestions through cartonization are proven to make the fulfillment process faster by reducing errors and the overall time it takes to fulfill an order.
Lower Fulfillment Cost – Track available packaging, including cost to understand your fulfillment overhead. Avoid shipping air (dead space) and incurring large package fees by optimizing the packaging you are using.

Faster Fulfillment Times
By reducing or removing the need for fulfillment team members to decide and manually select (or worse key in dimensions) for every shipment, you dramatically increase the overall speed of order fulfillment. Leverage cartonization to speed up your process.
Improve Customer Experience
By suggesting the optimal packaging for each shipment we are able to help reduce package selection errors (picking a carton that is too big for the order) and general shipping cost. This lets your fulfillment team focus of getting orders out the door.
Multibox Shippment Support
Sometimes you may have multiple packages for a larger than average order. We can make suggestions based on what ends up in each picking tote as well. Then we can help generate multibox shipping labels under a master tracking for the entire order.

GET STARTEDCartonization is an important part of daily fulfillment operations so we have tried to make it as easy as possible in our warehouse management system (WMS). Here are some common questions that our users have had when getting started.
How do you manage inventory expiration dates?
Perishable products need to be used before their manufacturer expiration date.
You can use a warehouse management system (like Shipedge) that tracks these
dates and uses the data to influence daily operations.
Inventory Allocation – allocating inventory using a first-expire first-out (FEFO)
methodology will ensure that products are not picked at random, which leads
to eventual product waste (due to expiration).
Expired Stock Retrieval – stock that is no longer of good quality should be automatically blocked and unavailable for use.
Expiration Date Outbound Tracking – in the case of a customer service incident related to product expiration/quality, order data should be used to determine if the products that we’re sent to the customer are within quality thresholds.
Why is it important to track expiration dates?
If expiration dates are not tracked in the event of a customer service issue related to product quality, your team should be able to provide additional information related to when the order was shipped and when the products in the order will expire. Advanced warehouse management systems (like Shipedge) are able to track and provide this data.
Is it hard to manage product by expiration dates?
Expiration date management is fairly simple given you are using the correct tools. An advanced warehouse management system (like Shipedge) will take your expiration date data and automatically influence your fulfillment and warehousing workflows to consider product quality.
