3 Reasons
Why You Should Consider Shipping Software
While implementing Oracle ERP Cloud

2. Organizations are showing increased interest in using cloud applications and according to Gartner, Oracle is
already a long way ahead of the competition. Oracle is considered the leader in Cloud ERP’s, and the gap
between Oracle and the rest will likely widen.
Some organizations are taking small steps by moving a single process or one application at a time to the
cloud. However, at the other end of the spectrum are organizations doing end-to-end migrations, moving all
enterprise applications and processes to the cloud.
Let’s look at the benefits of adding an integrated shipping software to your Oracle ERP Cloud implementation.

3. 1. Faster and more efficient shipping. Standard Oracle does not provide integration to carriers (like
UPS/FedEx/DHL and LTLs) but a Shipping Software can
• Standard Oracle does not have all the functions you need to carry out a multi-carrier shipping strategy.
• In standard Oracle, users need to deal with multiple carriers using individual shipping systems. This makes shipping,
tracking deliveries, and notifying customers difficult and time consuming.
• When the shipping process is not well integrated with Oracle, it results in redundant data entry that increases errors
• Having shipping software is a huge advantage because you have access to all your shipping carriers within the
Oracle system and this helps streamline your shipping process.
• With a centralized shipping software, you can perform address validation, calculate shipping costs, compare carrier
rates based on your contracts with carriers, print labels, and documents – all from one platform

4. 2. More awareness and insight into your shipping requirements due to concurrent ERP Cloud implementation

Shipping can be streamlined by analyzing historical data to make more informed decisions for the future. Organizations that
use carrier-provided shipping systems are left with fragmented views of shipping data in separate silos. Using an Oracle
certified shipping software to ship orders from all locations can provide a valuable data repository that can help identify
issues and offer insights to develop future strategies.
Users can get complete visibility on their shipping data from reports such as:
• Shipments per carrier/service level
• Transportation spends per carrier/service level
• Cost center reporting
• Carrier SLA reports
• Exception reports
• Manifest summary reports

5. Oracle validated shipping software such as ShipConsole, offers a multi-carrier shipping experience for Oracle
ERP Cloud users that is embedded within the Oracle framework. It provides a common interface for all ship-
ping carriers. This makes it easy to compare rates, generate carrier-specific shipping labels, track shipments,
