Our solution reduced shipping costs and shipping times and enabled more sellable SKUs.

Nisum’s solution gave the home goods retailer access to international drop shipping, resulting in:

$2MM
savings in shipping costs

8 days
faster shipping time for order delivery

Business Challenge

A Fortune 500 home goods retailer had international vendors that were unable to provide ocean/parcel shipping options to customers, leading to:

  • A slow and expensive in-house delivery method
  • The inability for customers to order from lower-priced SKUs due to the in-house shipping restrictions


Solution

Nisum decoupled the dependencies of an item to allow orders to be shipped via alternative means internationally and domestically, resulting in:

  • Reduced shipping costs and shipping times by removing system constraints that prevented IDS ocean SKUs access to be shipped via parcel route to the customer
    • Removing system constraints also allows the retailer to decide which domestic distribution center will receive and ship orders to customers
  • Optimized warehouse efficiency by enabling events in the warehouse management system (WMS) to automate the process of receiving orders
