Policy Enforcement & Rate Control

Enforce full logistics policies on every user through control and administration over each user’s specific shipping practices

  • Each user can be individually administered to ensure that every shipment processed on 2Ship is “pre-authorized”.
  • Limit Services & Features – Restrict / Default fields and preferences
  • Create Groups of Users to control policies on a group level.
  • Extend the usage of your system to outside entities which bill shipments to your accounts.
  • Hide rates completely or define customer rates down to the service, weight, and zone using markups on cost or discounts off list.
  • Complete control is now in your hands.

Creating a rule book for shipping that excludes certain postal codes or overrides rules based on specific postal codes, service levels, and carriers can be achieved through advanced rules expressions with action execution. Here’s how you can structure your rule book:

Define Shipping Rules

  1. Establish a set of rules that govern shipping parameters such as service levels, carriers, shipping methods, and associated costs.

  2. Define default rules that apply to all orders unless overridden by specific conditions.

Advanced Rules Expressions

  1. Use advanced rules expressions to create conditional statements that evaluate order attributes, including postal codes, order value, weight, dimensions, and delivery requirements.

  2. Write expressions that specify conditions for applying certain shipping rules based on postal codes or other relevant factors.

Exclusions for Postal Codes

  1. Identify postal codes or ranges of postal codes for which specific shipping rules should not apply.

  2. Write expressions to exclude these postal codes from the default shipping rules or assign alternative rules for orders with excluded postal codes.

Overrides for Specific Conditions

  1. Determine scenarios where certain shipping rules need to be overridden based on specific conditions, such as expedited shipping for remote areas or free shipping promotions for select regions.

  2. Write expressions to override default shipping rules and assign alternative service levels or carriers based on predefined criteria.

Action Execution

  1. Specify actions to be executed when a rule condition is met, such as assigning a specific carrier and service level, applying shipping discounts, or adding surcharges.

  2. Configure the rule engine to execute actions automatically based on the outcome of rule evaluations.

Testing and Validation

  1. Test the rule book extensively to ensure that rules are being applied correctly and that desired outcomes are achieved.

  2. Validate rule logic and expressions to verify that they accurately reflect shipping requirements and business rules.

Documentation and Maintenance

  1. Document the rule book comprehensively, including explanations of rule logic, conditions, and actions.

  2. Regularly review and update the rule book as shipping requirements evolve, new carriers or services are added, or changes in postal code zones occur.

Carriers, Services and great Rates…

You’re going to need a bunch of service options to get your orders to customers near and far.

With 2Ship, you get to bring your own courier and carrier accounts (if you already have some)

OR

Choose to use 2Ship carriers and services with 2Ship preferred rates (if you don’t have any accounts already)

OR

Use a mix of your own carriers AND add others from 2Ship…

That takes care of all the shipping options you need to get all orders to your customers…

The Consolidation Process at 2Ship
  1. Order Collection: Orders are gathered from multiple sources, whether from an e-commerce platform, warehouse, or physical locations.
  2. Individual Packaging: Each order is individually packed and labeled with customer details and relevant tracking information.
  3. Grouping into a Master Shipment: Orders bound for similar destinations are grouped together into a larger “master” shipment, reducing the number of parcels sent separately.
  4. Documentation & Customs Preparation: Proper customs documentation (e.g., commercial invoices, customs declarations) is prepared for the entire master shipment, simplifying the clearance process.
  5. Shipping to Destination: The consolidated master shipment is sent via a chosen freight service, benefiting from bulk shipping rates.

Final Distribution: Once the master shipment reaches its destination, orders are separated and dispatched to individual customers or distribution centers.
