Manual Routing

Manual routing is
killing your margins.

When every order needs a human decision, mistakes multiply, costs climb, and peak season becomes a nightmare.

Wrong Warehouse, Every Time

Orders go to the wrong warehouse because routing is manual or based on simple round-robin. You're paying more for shipping and delivering slower.

Expensive Split Shipments

Items from the same order ship from multiple locations because no system checks what's available where. Double the boxes, double the cost.

Spreadsheet Routing Decisions

FBA vs 3PL vs in-house decisions are made in spreadsheets, not in real-time. By the time you decide, the optimal window has passed.

Peak Season Overwhelm

Every order needs a human decision during your busiest periods. Your team becomes the bottleneck when speed matters most.

See how Nventory routes an order.

Every order follows a decision tree. The optimal path is chosen in seconds — not minutes.

From order to fulfillment in
seconds, not hours.

Every order follows the same path — but the routing decision is made instantly based on your rules.

1

Order Arrives

From any channel — Shopify, Amazon, eBay, your online store, or POS. Every order enters the same routing pipeline.

2

Rules Evaluate

Cost, proximity, stock availability, carrier rates, and priority all factor in. Your rules run in milliseconds.

3

Route Optimized

Order goes to the fulfillment location that minimizes cost and maximizes speed. Split or consolidate based on your preferences.

4

Ship & Track

Label prints, tracking updates push to the customer and back to the sales channel. Full visibility from route to delivery.

Intelligent routing for
every scenario.

From simple warehouse selection to complex multi-location optimization, Nventory handles every routing scenario out of the box.

Rules Engine

Build routing rules with if-then logic. Route by geography, order value, product type, channel, or custom conditions.

Multi-Warehouse Support

FBA, 3PLs, your own warehouses, and retail stores — all as fulfillment locations with independent stock and rules.

Split Shipment Control

Control when orders should split across locations and when they should wait for consolidated shipping.

Priority Queues

VIP orders, expedited shipping, and time-sensitive products get routed first — automatically.

Cost Optimization

Factor in carrier rates, warehouse fees, and shipping zones to find the cheapest path for every order.

Real-Time Decisions

Every routing decision is logged. See why an order went where it did, and track it through fulfillment.

Every Order Finds Its Optimal Path.

Two orders arrive at the same time. One needs express shipping to Texas, the other is standard to Oregon. Nventory evaluates location, priority, cost, and stock — then routes each to the best fulfillment point automatically.
