This looks nice!
~3 years ago I was still working in SMB/SME ecommerce IT and made an aborted attempt at building automatic small-parcel rate shopping and optimization on top of https://www.teapplix.com https://www.teapplix.com.
Even today it seems the big* SMB/SME players don't offer proper rate optimization tools, likely due to contractual relationships with the carriers which restrict that functionality.
*Stamps.com owns most of the major SMB/SME shipping tools: Stamps.com, Endicia, ShipStation, ShippingEasy, ShipWorks (+ upmarket tools like ShipEngine and Metapack and maybe more)
- cartonzshill 6y agoThat's very interesting. We haven't had too much pushback along those lines at least as we make our way upmarket. It might be because we aren't doing rating, just predictive packing.
