Challenges you face
Problems in day-to-day work
This module is built to fix the problems below.
- Because you plan shipments by hand, you can't weigh delivery priorities and warehouse stock together.
- Package contents aren't recorded in detail, so returns and customer complaints become difficult.
- You can't compare which transport type is most cost-effective.
- Because post-shipment stock deduction is manual, wrong shipments and stock errors occur.
- You can't improve your logistics strategy because you can't analyze past shipment performance.
