The continued growth of e-commerce coupled with the rise in smaller, more frequent orders has made efficient parcel shipment operations more important than ever. RedPrairie’s Parcel application reduces the effort and costs of shipping large volumes of parcels through shipment consolidation, rate shopping, automated manifesting and compliant labeling. And because Parcel is fully integrated to RedPrairie’s Warehouse Management and Transportation Management systems, parcel shipments become an integral part of optimized supply chain operations, instead of a distribution stepchild.

At the heart of the Parcel solution is the ability to control costs through carrier rating, maximizing available discounts through centralized submission and shipment consolidation. It also takes advantage of zone skipping opportunities. Parcel supports UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS carriers in addition to LTL single and mixed class shipments and consolidation.

Parcel can operate as a workstation as well as a “hands-free” in-line print and apply application. It provides web-based tracking integrated to carrier tracking systems so you have one place to go for visibility to all of your parcel shipments.

The result is reduced freight costs, better visibility and control over parcel shipments, improved carrier compliance and enhanced customer service.
