## Fulfillment Optimization

### Take control of volume allocation

Respond to real-time events and proactively allocate volume to meet commitments, control costs, and eliminate error-prone processes.

### Respond to real-world changes

Don’t let volume spikes, carrier performance issues, or capacity shortages impede your ability to meet commitments.

### Control costs

Find more opportunities to rate shop, eliminate error-prone processes, and gain more negotiation leverage.

### Eliminate manual processes

Automate volume monitoring and data entry to drastically reduce errors and scale your allocation strategy more effectively.

## Here's how Shipium improves volume allocation decisions.

Ongoing monitoring, daily volume projections, and automated adjustments allow for precise allocation.

### Monitor and forecast daily volume

Volume allocation is monitored hourly. The ship-ai-limits model projects daily volume based on hourly allocation and historical patterns.

### Automate allocation across carriers

Dynamic modifiers influence carrier selection based on commitments. If Carrier A is tracking at 73% against a target of 70%, modifiers are added to influence Shipium’s model. Modifiers do not impact the carrier’s true contracted price.

### Continuously refine the process

Executed shipment data is used to further train the model. Smarter volume allocation creates more opportunities for pure rate shopping and downgrades to ground methods.
