We know that managing complex freight can mean drowning in spreadsheets, or manually checking every SKU to ensure it gets the right service level. Relying on manual sight-checks for Authority to Leave (ATL) or specialised services is a recipe for delivery failure and margin-draining returns. That’s why we’ve added order modification to our Smart Shipping Rules, allowing the platform to do the heavy lifting for you.
Smart Shipping Rules now goes beyond just selecting a carrier; it can proactively modify your orders as they enter the system:
Auto-tagging for value-added services: Create rules to automatically apply tags like "room-of-choice," "white-glove," or "call-before-delivery" based on SKU or product categories.
Dynamic ATL control: Automatically enable or disable Authority to Leave based on order value or fragile product tags to protect your high-value shipments.
Intelligent routing for complex freight: Ensure orders requiring specialised equipment, such as a tail-lift or two-person lift, are only allocated to carriers serviceable for those specific needs.
💁♀️Shippit pro tip: Use these rules for your "problem products": those similar-looking SKUs or high-value items where manual errors usually happen. Setting this up now is the cheapest insurance policy your warehouse can have against a flood of WISMO support calls later.
