Outbound Freight booking Module
Once a customer has placed an order the next question is the freight charge. If you use external carriers the system will calculate the cartons you will pack into using Cartonising process including weights and measures then send this information along with dates and addresses to external freight companies to quote on. The quotes are in real time and can provide your customer with choices of cost / time / preferred carriers as you finalise the order. The quotes can be provided also during the checkout process on the Customer Portal and the Webstore - and once a carrier is chosen it is then booked directly. Requires an account at Temando (http://www.temando.com.au).
note that integration can be built directly to preferred companies (if they support it), each case will need to be reviewed with the freight company to determine suitability and cost.
