What are the challenges?

Manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers are facing increasing complexity in the distribution warehouse industry. Traditional warehouse and transportation logistics processes are no longer sufficient to meet this challenge.

For instance, optimizing shipment processing involves collaborating with various carriers and parcel service providers, as customers frequently prefer to select the most cost-effective option on a case-by-case basis.

Service and costs are the primary criteria when selecting the best service provider for each shipment. But each carrier has its own specific requirements for the shipping process. The benefits of flexible carrier selection can only be fully realized when these individual requirements are met.

However, the traditional method of managing these specifications for the shipping process demands significant effort. Shipping personnel must familiarize themselves with the different software programs used by various service providers and frequently switch between them.

This requires a larger workforce and increases the risk of errors. These factors not only impact costs but can also lead to delays in delivery times. The fast delivery that customers expect today is often impossible with traditional processes.

What are the benefits?

The fully automated SDS shipping system enables distribution warehouses to significantly enhance the efficiency of their shipping processes. It currently supports the specifications of over 70 major shipping service providers, with new modules being continuously added.

As a standalone solution, the shipping system can be easily interfaced with a diverse range of logistics and ERP systems or seamlessly integrated into the K.Motion Logistics Suite. This combination, along with its established infrastructure, minimizes interfaces and potential sources of error, enhances overall system performance, and optimizes the shipping process.

Our SDS provides the following benefits:

  • Fully automated shipping processes
  • Highly configurable (no code)
  • Secure and stable interaction of warehouse and shipping processes
  • Multi-language, multi-storage, multi-client capabilities
  • Large network of already integrated shipping service providers
  • Out-of-the-box integration through standardized system interfaces
