Outbound logistics is a critical stage of supply chain management. It connects warehouse operations with customers and internal locations, making accuracy, speed, and visibility essential. Traditional dispatch and transfer processes often rely on disconnected tools and manual steps, resulting in slow routing, limited visibility, and higher costs.

With PackageX, organizations can digitize dispatch and transfer workflows to create a more reliable outbound process, reduce errors, and achieve real-time tracking across every shipment.

Challenges in Outbound Logistics

Manual and disconnected outbound processes create several common issues:

• Delays caused by manual labeling and routing
• Inventory discrepancies due to unsynced transfers
• Limited visibility into order status after dispatch
• High shipping costs without rate optimization
• Inconsistent tracking across multiple carriers

These challenges make it difficult to scale outbound operations and maintain customer expectations.
