Drop Ship Management
Collaborative shipment of remotely stored goods

How do I manage drop shipment processes at my contract manufacturers and 3PLs, while ensuring accurate labeling and timely shipments? How can I integrate these processes to Oracle?

X.PC helps manufacturers and distributors drop ship products directly from their 3PL providers, contract manufacturers and suppliers while retaining control over key fulfillment activities and customer-facing processes. ClearOrbit's Drop Shipment solutions allows you to manage the ordering, shipping and inventory management transactions associated with partners drop-shipping items based on your booked Sales Orders or Purchase Orders. These applications provide partners web-based visibility to your orders that require shipments from inventory stored on-site at their locations. Partners then ship the appropriate products. ClearOrbit generates the appropriate bar code labels for each container, as well as necessary shipping documentation, all pulled in real time from your Oracle ERP. ClearOrbit's unique methodology provides full "track, trace & control" over your virtual supply chain by linking your business processes together with partners at critical points in the transaction.

ClearOrbit’s Drop Shipment application automatically manages the back-end Oracle ERP transactions required to accurately account for the fact that partners have shipped items you own from their locations. Once the partner has shipped the item through ClearOrbit, the required transactions (create delivery, assign SO line, pick release, ship confirm, etc.) are automatically run in the background so your Oracle ERP is accurate and always up to date. ClearOrbit even sends an automatic notification to your customer service representative, letting them know the items have been sent to the customer.
