The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
Order clerks in the information management and shipping industries spend hours each week digging through SharePoint folders, referencing UPS and FedEx guidelines, and updating packing instructions in spreadsheets. Every order—especially those with mixed items or international destinations—requires careful attention to compliance and labeling. Manual processes lead to wasted time, frequent errors, and constant rework when last-minute changes come in. The pressure to get it right is relentless, with little room for mistakes.
