About this project
Altamonte has experienced rapid growth over its 15-year journey, expanding both its product range and distribution footprint. With freight costs forming a significant portion of their operating expenses, the business needed a more intelligent way to manage logistics. 2Ship became the key enabler for smarter, scalable shipping.
The project began with a domestic focus – connecting Altamonte’s Melbourne Australia -based operations to 2Ship. Following the success of this first phase, the integration was extended to New Zealand, connecting a third-party logistics provider (3PL) and enabling end-to-end visibility across borders.
Strategies Employed
- End-to-End Cloud Integration
Leveraged 2Ship’s cloud-based architecture to connect seamlessly with MYOB Acumatica, ensuring real-time data transfer for shipping events, tracking, and cost reconciliation. - Advanced Aggregation and Packing Automation
Implemented rules-based aggregation to combine orders by recipient, and deployed Item2Box logic to streamline packing, reducing time, errors, and air-filled boxes. - Global Expansion Enablement
Configured a second warehouse and shipping profile in New Zealand to enable fast onboarding of a 3PL and carrier (TGE), using the same API architecture as the Australian operation. - Live Carrier Integration and Post-Ship Data Push
Set up real-time rate APIs and webhook triggers to send tracking, cost, and status information back to MYOB for customer service use and reporting.
Outcome
- Productivity Gains
Shipping is now faster and requires less manual intervention. Altamonte’s team processes more orders in less time with fewer resources. - Improved Customer Experience
Customers receive branded shipping notifications, ASNs, and real-time tracking links, while customer service agents have full shipment visibility directly in MYOB. - Scalable Cross-Border Logistics
With New Zealand now live, Altamonte can confidently onboard new warehouses or markets with minimal effort. The integration model supports fast geographic expansion. - Cost Reduction
Smarter aggregation and packaging, combined with real-time rate shopping, allow Altamonte to consistently choose the most cost-effective shipping methods.
“One of the greatest benefits of this deployment is that it has allowed Altamonte to have all its shipping data in one integrated system, thereby allowing us to respond to our customers’ needs quickly and accurately with minimal effort.” – Josh Bird, CFO , Altamonte
