Shipping Manager

Quickly calculate shipping charges and communicate with shipping software.

The Shipping Manager module is a great feature for your shipping department! With this added feature you will be able to calculate the shipping charges from within a sales order and then easily communicate the customer and order details to the shipping software.

Estimated Shipping Rates

Shipping rates can be calculated within an EBMS sales order to quickly provide estimated shipping costs. These calculations can include using standard formulas setup within the shipping methods, rate formulas within the customer record, a custom rate table for specific shippers, and directly from the online UPS rate table. The freight cost can be determined by adding a markup to the standard shipper rates and adding optional handling fees.
