Why Upgrade Oracle EBS Shipping?
Out-of-the-box Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) covers basic shipping needs, but falls short in today’s fast-paced logistics environment

Common pain points include:

Manual work & errors: Data entry for rates, labels, and tracking is time-intensive and prone to mistakes.

Lack of rate comparisions: No tool to compare carriers automatically for cost savings or speed.

Disconnected workflows: Shipping isn’t integrated directly into order and fulfillment systems.

Limited tracking: Fast tracking and shipment visibility are not available within the system.

International & compliance gaps: Customs documentation, compliance (ACE), Hazmat support, and address validation are not available.

These limitations drive up costs, slow operations, and frustrate customers.
