Enhanced shipping efficiency and cost savings with ShipStation
Our client is a prominent supplier of premium tiles and stones, serving homeowners, architects, and designers across the U.S. Their comprehensive range of high-quality tiles caters to various project needs, combining design aesthetics with functionality.
The client faced escalating shipping costs, limited shipping options, and an inefficient label generation process. These challenges hampered their ability to operate efficiently and meet customer expectations. They sought a solution to centralize shipping operations, cut costs, and improve overall workflow productivity.
We introduced ShipStation as the primary tool for their shipping operations. By integrating multiple carriers, customizing shipping rules, and implementing real-time tracking, we streamlined their workflow. The enhanced process saved time, reduced costs, and delivered a better customer experience, ensuring scalability for their growing business.
Shipping expenses for the client’s heavy tile products were eating into their profit margins, making cost optimization critical.
Managing multiple shipping carriers through different platforms created inefficiencies and complicated operations.
Generating labels and managing shipments manually consumed excessive time and increased error rates.
The shipping platform allowed only two users simultaneously, causing workflow bottlenecks and slowing team productivity.
