## Fulfillment Optimization

### Implement and manage your desired injection schemes

Configure, automate, and rate-shop your entire injection strategy — from LTL freight to last-mile parcel — to lower zone fees while delivering shipments on time.

### Bypass high-cost zones

Avoid long-haul parcel services and associated surcharges to control costs more effectively.

### Manage carrier capacity

Adjust your strategy when carriers impose volume caps to deliver shipments on-time.

### Improve reliability

Control transit times to injection points for better predictability and simplified planning.

## Solution Highlights

### Bypass zones, maximize profits

Leverage a powerful, flexible zone skipping solution that lowers costs, increases speed, and unlocks delivery capacity.

### Configure your strategy

- Establish injection shipping schemes using a browser-based user interface.
- Easily define your injection sites, including carriers and address details.
- Manage all necessary contacts and postal codes the injection site can ship to.
- Make changes without relying on external vendors or IT.

### Optimize costs and speed

Injection allows you to lower shipping costs by paying a bulk LTL rate for line-haul transport to the carrier sort center, saving on individual zone fees.

- System uses the correct rating address to compare this cost against direct shipping.
- Rate shop LTL vs. small parcel to determine the right mode for shipping.

### Mitigate peak season capacity caps

Proactively manage national carrier shipment caps during high volume periods, like peak season.

- Contract an LTL carrier to transport surplus shipments to regional sort centers with capacity.
- Ensure that customer promises continue to be met at the lowest cost.

### Full API control and flexibility

Easily leverage your configured injection strategies using Shipium’s APIs.

- Provide injection parameters in your API requests.
- When the includeInjectionProfiles field is “true”, Shipium will identify injection opportunities when rate shopping.

- In-network national, regional, and same-day carriers handle 99.2% of North American parcel shipments.
- Access 60+ carriers and 200+ service methods.
