Did You Know the Order Consolidator can combine orders being shipped to the same location to minimize shipping costs and production time?

The Order Consolidator is a great tool for improving efficiency in the warehouse and reducing shipping costs for your clients.

You can search for orders with different criteria such as user and order date. Grouping options make it easy to find orders with the same ship to address, desired ship date, and so on. Then, select and merge orders so that orderlines with the same product are combined. The old orders will be closed out and one consolidated order will be created.

This tool is especially useful in cases where a client has multiple orders with the same products, shipping to the same address, but submitted by different users.

Benefits to You and the Client

• Combining orders that otherwise would have been shipped separately saves the client money on shipping costs.
• Merging orderlines from different orders means the production and fulfillment team can produce, pick, and pack more efficiently.

How It Works

Find the Order Consolidator in the back end under the Warehouse tab. To use the Order Consolidator:

• First, select a customer. The Order Consolidator will pull all orders for that customer.
• On the right side are the Group By options. By default, the orders will be grouped together by their ship to address. You can narrow down the grouping parameters using the checkboxes.
• You can filter down the list of orders by user and a date range of when the order was placed.
• Select the orders you want to consolidate. Click continue.
• The next page will ask you to select a ship to address, a carrier, and a desired ship date.
• Click Complete. Back on the Order Consolidator page you will see the name of the new consolidated order and the list of orders that were combined.
