ShipWise and Numina Group Partner to Revolutionize Warehouse Automation

ShipWise, a leader in enterprise shipping management, has announced a strategic partnership with the Numina Group, a prominent designer and integrator of warehouse automation systems. This collaboration aims to optimize the pick, pack, and ship fulfillment flow through advanced carrier selection and manifesting integration, enabling businesses to reduce operational costs, increase accuracy, and scale efficiently.

Enhancing Order Fulfillment with Seamless Integration

According to Clark Ransom, President of ShipWise, the partnership addresses critical challenges in the logistics industry. “By integrating our shipping execution with Numina’s advanced warehouse automation, we’re empowering businesses to scale more efficiently, reduce fulfillment errors, and significantly lower end-to-end operational costs,” Ransom explained. The combined solution is designed to provide a competitive advantage in a demanding market, where higher order volumes and stringent delivery standards require robust solutions.

Key Benefits of the Integrated Solution

The ShipWise and Numina Group integration leverages ShipWise's shipping capabilities and Numina’s Real-time Distribution System (RDS™), a warehouse execution and control software, offering customers a range of benefits, including:

• Seamless Data Flow: Automated communication between warehouse and shipping systems eliminates manual tasks and reduces errors.

• Real-Time Insights: Access to real-time shipping updates aids inventory management and order tracking.

• Cost Reduction: Improved accuracy, optimized carrier selection, and reduced material usage lower operational costs.

• Scalability: Designed to grow with business needs, the solution supports higher order volumes without compromising speed or accuracy.

Advanced Cartonization and Carrier Selection

Numina Group’s founder and CEO, Dan Hanrahan, highlighted the efficiency gains from RDS Warehouse Execution Software’s Cartonization Module. This module achieves over 90% cube utilization during order release, reducing packaging costs by up to 20% annually. Coupled with ShipWise's multi-carrier rate shopping, which selects the best carrier based on cube data, this system minimizes shipping costs by up to 20%.

“Both capabilities add powerful tools that work together to streamline business costs and improve profitability throughout an existing or new warehouse’s order fulfillment operation,” Hanrahan noted.

Automation Enhancing Speed and Accuracy

This integration automates processes at multiple levels. Through ShipWise's public API, real-time communication between the systems ensures automated carrier selection, shipping label generation, and order updates. At automated scan-weigh-dim print-and-apply labeling lines, ShipWise updates shipping labels and transmits data back to RDS, enhancing speed and accuracy in fulfillment operations.

Ideal for mid-to large-sized warehouses, the combined low-touch voice picking and automated packing processes are designed to support high volumes. The system is especially valuable for sectors like e-commerce, healthcare, electronics, and repair parts, which prioritize fast, accurate service.

Increasing Throughput with Advanced Technologies

The collaboration supports conveyor systems for parcel processing, barcode scanning, and automated labeling, connected to ShipWise for real-time shipping label generation. With a processing rate exceeding 25 cartons per minute, this setup significantly enhances throughput while reducing labor costs and minimizing errors.
