You probably have a collection of preset rules to determine the best carrier and package for an order. Something like; 'if less than 1lb, ship with USPS First Class Mail' or 'if 4 cases and going to California, use big box and ship with FedEx Ground'.

While these rules might be accurate 60-70% of the time, when they're not accurate it can cost you a lot of money. The problem is, your team doesn't have enough time to find the optimal package and manually rate shop for every order. This is where String comes to the rescue.

String knows all of your products, packages, and carrier options so when a new order comes in we can intelligently choose the best options in real time. This means instead of being accurate 70% of the time, you are getting the best possible rate 100% of the time.

String creates and shares intelligence reports so users like you have deep insight into your logistics operations. We equip you with details on every order so you have a full picture of how your business is performing and where you can improve.

Every intelligence report comes with the dimensions and weight of the packages you shipped, the delivery address of the shipment, the best rate available from each carrier, and the selected service option.

You can use these reports to understand pricing from different carriers, negotiate new rate cards with them based on real world data, and get a better sense of what factors influence your shipping costs.

Getting started with String is fast and simple! We only need access to a few critical components to start working.

1) We connect to your carrier accounts.
2) You connect to our API or we connect to your ShipStation account.
3) We store the weights and dimensions of all of your products.

No. String is purpose built to help you ship orders to your customers as fast as possible while also saving money.

String uses AI to provide the most accurate estimation of a shipments time-in-transit. If a service will not arrive to your customer within the time frame you establish, String filters it out.

Implementing String does not effect your delivery time and can even be used to improve delivery speed.

String uses our proprietary bin packing AI algorithm to predict the optimal box for each order.

To do that, we keep track of the dimensions and weights of all of your products and packages. We then attempt to pack all of your items into the smallest box possible using an infinite amount of orientations.

Do you have products with special packing requirements? No problem! String keeps track of these requirements so your orders are packed exactly how you want them to be.

Add new products or packages anytime with ease and rest assured that no matter how many different products you have, we'll always find the optimal package for them.

String only charges you for orders it's able to successfully process. This way, you only pay for what you use. You're also never locked into a contract and there is no minimum spending requirement. String exists to save you money. If we can't do that, we won't take your money.
