Spectra Adds New Shipping Platform To Workflow

SUMMARY:

With its many years of experience in the fulfillment industry, and having successfully met difficult challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic related labor and materials shortages, Spectra has demonstrated many times over that it is a powerful partner for organizations that need dependable, efficient fulfillment services. In order to increase their efficiency even further and obtain lower shipping rates for its clients, Spectra has added a new shipping platform, ShipStation, to its order fulfillment process. This new system provides a number of advantages that Spectra’s expert fulfillment teams can use to pass on savings to their clients.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Although Spectra, based in Columbia, SC and operating a secondary fulfillment center near the critical port city of Charleston, has offered fulfillment expertise to its clients for many years, the leadership at the company maintains the viewpoint that there are always new advantages to be gained. With digital tools, online platforms, and other technologies constantly under development, keeping an eye on what’s new is an important part of Spectra’s mission to give its clients the best service possible.

Within the fulfillment arm of the business, shipping is an area where the leadership has recently focused its attention. The cost of getting packages from point A to point B can fluctuate with global factors, and in many cases comprises a large percentage of the total bill that a Spectra client pays. Any discounts and efficiencies that can be gained in the area of shipping have a significant impact for Spectra and its 3PL clients.

ShipStation, a software platform designed specifically for providers that have complex mailing and shipping needs, is the latest tool to join Spectra’s toolbox. In integrating the platform with its existing systems, Spectra’s fulfillment experts are making their operations more efficient, less costly, and more successful overall. ShipStation’s primary advantages are in its discounted rates with major carriers, including the US Postal Service, an intuitive order management system that is capable of handling Spectra’s complex client list, and the ability to pair with other software systems that Spectra is already using on a daily basis.

While Spectra’s teams are working hard to fully educate themselves on ShipStation’s capabilities and discover how they can best work with Spectra’s other capabilities, the end result for clients is simple–a better fulfillment experience. Whether they are working with a large hospital system with strict HIPAA requirements, a national brand sending seasonal marketing campaign materials to local branches, or a nonprofit sending updates to donors, Spectra does all the “heavy lifting” and essentially functions as a fully functional, highly experienced fulfillment department for a client without the client having to develop such a department in house.

Spectra’s use of ShipStation will be particularly beneficial for those clients that need to ship out packages on a frequent basis, including subscription box services, sales catalogs, monthly billing statements, and other materials. Saving money with each shipment quickly adds up, freeing up clients to allocate money elsewhere and drive their business’s growth.
