Ship4u




FEATURES

Ship4u’s strongest feature is its ease of use and scalability.  Ship4u is the system which lets you grow without changing either software or hardware from a hundred orders a month shipped from your garage to an operation with hundreds of thousands orders automatically routed between multiple fulfillment centers.

Our Development Goals is to

  • Provide the easiest to use full feature Fulfillment, Call Center and Warehouse Management system

  • Let every user share the same code and new additions to give the small installation a virtual unlimited growth potential and to offer the large installation the ease of use required by our small users (with neither IT or warehouse management experts)

  • Create an environment where our customers benefits from collaboration, e.g. by establishing virtual fulfillment centers by using each others facilities and personnel when its more cost effective than setting up a new warehouse

  • Create a new freedom for the Clients, where they can change their operation virtually overnight without disrupting order flow, fulfillment or control routines and without any requirements for new interfaces
We publish a feature list with mixed feelings; you need it to make sure that the system will take care of your daily operation. What you don’t need is an implementation with so many features that the daily operation gets out of hand. We try to follow the KISS principle “Keep It as Simple as possible, but not Simpler”. It is not an easy task; our rescue is a very active user community who guides us at every step.
