Multi-warehouse fulfillment

Questions to answer before changing your workflow
- Who is creating the shipment, and which company do they represent?
- Who should see the carrier cost versus the customer-facing charge?
- Which products, locations, services, and actions are allowed?
- Who pays the carrier, and what carrier agreement governs the transaction?
- What information should remain visible to the parent company after the shipment is created?
Bottom line
The best shipping workflow is not simply the one with the fewest clicks. It is the one that removes repetitive work while preserving the account boundaries, permissions, pricing rules, and audit trail the business actually needs.
Shipping access should match the way your business actually works.
