Automated Manifesting Systems Greatly Increase Your Bottom Line. Without it, shippers risk being hit with back charges from their carriers.
Many fulfillment operations fail to properly complete the dimensional reporting requirements imposed by carriers and consequently, get hit with expensive back charges. Automated manifesting technology with the dimensioning option eliminates those errors, resulting in substantial savings.
Many dot-com firms such as Amazon and online/catalog operations like L.L. Bean, use automatic manifesting systems so they know exactly what their shipping costs will be when they send out bills to their online and phone customers, rather than guessing at carrier rates.
Costs and payback
Costs for automated manifesting systems start at just under $10,000. This figure rises to an upper limit of $80,000 + for a fully loaded, in-motion unit. The cost varies depending on whether the system dimensions, weighs, scans bar codes, reads RFID, and labels the parcels.
Investments in an automated manifesting system can produce a high return on investment to the user in the case of a carrier recovering revenues for oversize shipping charges, not to mention labor costs – eliminating the need to manually process each step and enter results into shipping software manually.
