Shipping, Rethought
Every other platform starts with carriers. Pick a carrier, configure zones, assign rates, and then hope the box fits. You end up duplicating box configurations across every carrier and zone combination. Change a box size? Update it everywhere.
Vectis starts with the box. Define your box templates once — with inner dimensions, tare weight, and max capacity. Assign boxes to providers or methods. Then a 3D bin packing engine packs every order into the optimal set of boxes automatically. Those packed boxes are then handed to whichever carrier and method the zone selects.
Boxes are the universal constant. Carriers are interchangeable. Zones just filter which methods show up for an address. No more configuring the same box for UPS and then again for FedEx and then again for USPS. Define it once, assign it to a provider, and every method under that provider uses it.
3D bin packing engine fits items into eligible box templates. Inner dims, weight limits, fragile & priority handling.
Packed boxes inherit carrier and method from box-to-provider assignments. One box template, many carriers.
Each packed box becomes a Package with real dims and weight. Carriers quote per box; flat-rate methods multiply by count.
Each box gets its own tracking, carrier, and label. Ship by-box for warehouse precision or by-order for simpler ops.
A box template lives at the center — inner dims, tare weight, max capacity, material cost. Assign it to any carrier; the same box config powers UPS, FedEx, and USPS without duplication.
Define once, assign to providers/methods. Inner dims, tare weight, material cost.
