Rithum’s Solutions for Smarter Shipping
Shipping Optimization: Optimize costs by selecting the best shipping method
- What is Shipping Optimization? Rithum leverages supplier data to automatically select the best warehouse and shipment method for each order to ensure on-time delivery for the lowest price. According to Rithum data, Shipping Optimization saves retailers on average 10% on 3P shipping costs, or millions in savings each year.
- How it works: Through Rithum’s existing dropship integration, Shipping Optimization leverages suppliers’ warehouse inventory and locations to find the optimal origin for each shipment. Using catalog data to determine package size and weight, Shipping Optimization gets shipping cost and delivery dates directly from carriers. The best method can then be selected and sent to the supplier.
Delivery Promise: Provides precise delivery dates for an enhanced customer experience
- What is Delivery Promise? Delivery Promise helps retailers increase conversions by providing customers with accurate and timely delivery dates.
- How it works: Machine learning models predict order processing and transit times to determine estimated delivery dates based on real-time data including order backlogs, warehouse fill rates and weather conditions. This is combined with dozens of historical supplier and carrier performance predictors to further refine delivery estimates, ensuring customers know exactly when to expect their orders.
