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

- Ensure that customer promises continue to be met at the lowest cost
