A multi-carrier fulfilment solution offers numerous benefits that can significantly improve efficiency, flexibility, and profitability, making it a valuable tool for businesses of all sizes.

iForce Carrier Management Software

iForce’s in-house carrier management software, RouteGenie, seamlessly integrates with nearly 100 couriers for both UK and worldwide shipments, enabling a comprehensive multi-carrier solution. This sophisticated system intelligently routes orders to the most suitable courier, from a selected list, based on a comprehensive set of pre-defined rules, ensuring optimal delivery efficiency and cost-effectiveness. RouteGenie is also integrated with carrier aggregators, including GFS.

The selection of carriers is guided by a range of parameters tailored to individual requirements. For instance, the cheapest option can be chosen based on weight or size criteria, while premium carriers can be assigned to orders exceeding a specific value threshold. Moreover, carrier selection can even be influenced by performance data within particular postcodes, ensuring that the most reliable and efficient couriers are always utilised.

By implementing a multi-carrier approach, iForce effectively optimises shipping operations, not only resulting in cost savings but also contributing to enhanced customer satisfaction. Customers benefit from faster deliveries, improved tracking capabilities, and the assurance that their orders are handled by appropriately selected carriers.
