Sendflex: Your Gateway to Advanced Parcel Management

Parcel shipping dynamics have drastically changed with the rise in costs and increased consumer demand for fast, reliable delivery. These changes have pushed shippers towards diversifying their parcel carrier networks and leveraging inventory stocks closer to their customers, leading to increased complexity in the decision-making process.

That's where Sendflex, a cutting-edge parcel orchestration technology, steps in. Sendflex combines no-code intelligence and high-speed execution to simplify and automate complex B2C transportation decisions within shopping carts, order entry, fulfillment planning, shipping, and returns. This transformative technology ensures transportation managers optimize cost savings, cube utilization, and customer delivery experiences with ease.

More than a traditional shipping execution tool, Sendflex's parcel orchestration platform employs a cloud-native, microservices architecture. This allows shippers to diversify their carrier networks, control carrier service selections, and automate high-speed shipment quoting, fulfillment planning, cartonization, shipping, and returns. Unlike legacy shipping systems that rely on slower carrier APIs, Sendflex's internal routing and rating engine delivers a mind-boggling 20,000 rates per second.

Adding to its superior features, Sendflex offers no-code, configurable instructions that can accommodate even the most intricate parcel service decisions based on carrier contract compliance terms, shipment attributes, SKUs, delivery areas, customer preferences, and more. This gives logistics managers full control and flexibility in managing their operations and reduces unexpected carrier surcharges
