Transportation Management System
Boxzooka technology includes a powerful Transportation Management System (TMS), that is fully integrated into our Warehouse Management System (WMS). This integration allows for seamless coordination and optimization of transportation activities from sourcing and manufacturing to the end consumer. Boxzooka’s TMS and WMS combined, provides a valuable set of tools for our clients to manage the ever-increasing costs of shipping, end to end.
Parcel Rate and Method Shopping
Our Virtual Shipping Network leverages parcel rate and method shopping to multiple options to optimize the best rate with the best method of shipping. With access to multiple carriers, our TMS compares rates and services across a variety of different shipping providers. The Boxzooka TMS chooses the most cost-effective option based on factors such as transit time, service level, assessorial fees, and cost.
​
The Boxzooka Virtual Shipping Network offers flexible delivery timing and shipment costs based on your delivery promise: One Day, Two Days, Three Days, and so on. The best carrier and rate for the destination weight, and dimensions of each package can vary. Often times there’s a more economical option than the conventional name brand carriers provide for the same day definite transit time. Leveraging our facility locations and shipping algorithms we can often find ground shipment options that cost less than overnight express.
Boxzooka’s aggregated volume is utilized to negotiate favorable shipment contracts with multiple carriers resulting in highly discounted shipping rates and reduced accessorial fees for all clients, vs. a single retailer shipping on its own account.
Inbound Freight Services
Boxzooka offers door-to-door import freight services including ocean freight, air freight, customs brokerage as well as domestic drayage, trucking, and rail. eCommerce retailers can take advantage of Boxzooka’s aggregated import volume and portfolio of carrier options, some even offering express ocean freight, reducing the typical transit time in half and serving as a cost-saving alternative to air freight. Our WMS client portal provides visibility to real-time tracking from local origin pickup to delivery into one of our domestic distribution centers.

Our integrated branded tracking pages offer a unique opportunity to create additional sales opportunities.
