Struggling to meet customer demands for fast and affordable shipping?
In today's competitive ecommerce landscape, it's more critical than ever. Our recent survey found that 67% of US consumers abandon carts due to high shipping costs. This puts pressure on warehouses to fulfill orders quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
The answer? Shipping automation.
This powerful tool can revolutionize your warehouse operations. By automating repetitive tasks like carrier selection, rate shopping, and label printing, Extensiv's solutions seamlessly integrate with ShipEngine's platform to streamline your fulfillment process, reduce errors, and ultimately delight your customers.
Why You Need Automated Shipping
Manually managing shipping is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Here's how automating your shipping with Extensiv and ShipEngine can benefit your business:
- Eliminate manual data entry tasks, such as carrier selection, rate shopping, and label printing. This frees up your staff to focus on higher-value warehouse management activities like order fulfillment and customer service.
- ShipEngine's carrier rate shopping ensures you get the best possible rates on every shipment. Additionally, automation minimizes errors in shipping weights and dimensions, leading to fewer package surcharges.
- Automated shipping processes eliminate human error, ensuring accurate labels and shipping documentation every time. This reduces the risk of delays and lost packages. By streamlining the shipping process, orders are processed and shipped out faster, leading to happier customers.
As your business grows, your shipping needs will too. Extensiv and ShipEngine can scale with you, ensuring a smooth and efficient fulfillment process regardless of order volume.

Accuracy is also guaranteed with automated packing slips and commercial invoices that include precise product information and customs documentation, ensuring a smooth journey through customs and delivery. Both you and your customers benefit from real-time tracking and visibility. You can track shipments in real-time, while your customers receive automatic shipment notifications, keeping everyone informed about the status of orders.
