Order consolidation
Combining multiple orders from the same customer (or to the same destination) into one shipment to save cost and packaging.
Order consolidation merges separate orders heading to the same place into a single parcel -- fewer boxes, less postage, a better unboxing. The catch is timing: you have to catch the orders before they're packed and respect any 'ship now' expectations.
Skuwell flags consolidation opportunities in the order queue before pick, so you capture the savings without holding orders longer than your service promise allows.
