If you currently do not have an integrated shipping system that brings all your shipping functions under one, easy to manage umbrella, then you could benefit from Optimum7’s ecommerce shipping solutions.
Do you have options for your customers to be able to ship items via DHL, USPS, UPS, or FED Ex? Does your business require shipping overseas to Australia, Canada or the United Kingdom? If so, how are you providing shipping services to your clients? Do you require drop shipping but don’t have a convenient way to manage it?

If you are using a myriad of third party systems and have no reasonable way to price, process and track your shipping services, then we have a solution for you. You will be able to print USPS, DHL WorldWide and Fed Ex labels right from your own system; no need for third party applications.
Optimum7 can integrate your shipping systems with all the major shipping companies listed above, as well as with Australia Post, Canada Post and Royal Mail (U.K.) for your international shipping needs. In addition, we can provide automated feeds for live shipping rates and live package tracking, including live rates with Canada Post.
Our ecommerce solution will allow you to batch orders for label printing and support shipping from multiple warehouses. It will easily calculate additional weight in the shipping estimate for your customers as well. We can even automate drop shipping for you, so that each time you make sale from someone else’s inventory, your label and fulfillment request will be triggered at that site, eliminating the need for multiple phone calls or emails. People who buy your products will benefit from the real time estimates in terms of cost and the time frame given for receiving their products.
Ultimately, there are many factors that cause a potential client to commit to a purchase or not. An ecommerce shipping solution is meant to iron out all the kinks in your process, making the entire ordering experience easy and positive for your customer, giving them no technical reason decide against purchasing your product.
In our experience, a one page check out that can allow a customer to check out within 60 seconds is the most effective, but to get to that type of functionality, you need to make sure that your shipping options are integrated and that your customer can easily determine what shipping their items will cost without having to make a call to you. Any distraction could be an opportunity lost to make a sale.
In the online marketplace, your competitors can be reached with only as much trouble as a click. The overall experience a user has placing an order from you helps to form their opinion about your company and the service you provide. It is important to make this experience a positive one. There is nothing worse than dealing with a negative review or complaint that has to do with a third party issue, such as a shipping company.
At optimum7, our ecommerce shipping solution will enhance your checkout process and leave your customers with an impression of you that is reliable. Contact us today.
