Connecting your warehouse to your customers

Ignition FMS is designed to streamline your warehouse operations, providing automated carrier assignment, single-view reporting, documentation and label printing, and more. Ignition FMS integrates with warehouse, ERP, and e-Commerce systems to seamlessly execute shipments for online and bricks and mortar retailers of all sizes. Whether your warehousing systems are touch-free, manual, or somewhere in between, Ignition FMS will bring efficiency to your processes and reduce overhead costs through automation and business intelligence.
Key features
Automated carrier assignment
Ignition FMS automatically selects the best carrier for your orders, all while factoring in parcel size and weight, fragile, hazardous or perishable goods restrictions, and the customers chosen delivery timeline. Automated carrier assignment rules reduce the amount spent on freight, and streamline pick, pack and dispatch processes, allowing you to continuously exceed customer expectations.
Invoice reconciliation
Carrier invoices imported to Ignition are automatically matched to the calculated shipping costs of your orders. Verify the accuracy of every invoice, reduce human error, and eliminate time-consuming manual reconciliation processes.
Order visibility and tracking
Provide your customers with complete order visibility. Our Tracking API integrates with carriers, providing updates on key tracking events, such as proof of delivery. This tracking data can be supplied to you for customisation, or published directly to a web page branded with your company details.
Analytics and reporting
Track all your KPIs and monitor performance from a central control tower, including carrier performance, delivery exception management, cost control, and reconciliation. Our analytics dashboard gives you a singular view of all your key data points and simplifies your reporting process, freeing up your staff to focus on customer service and improving delivery performance.
Easily onboard new carriers
Enjoy easy setup and integrate with an extensive number of national, regional, and local carriers. Carrier integration includes connote, manifest, and label formats, as well as track and trace integration with the carrier’s tracking system. Plus, with simple onboarding processes, you can quickly integrate new carriers as required.
Label, connote and manifest Creation
Generate paperwork and labels automatically, according to customised business rules. Eliminate the cost of manual labelling, and reduce the risk of mislabelled orders due to human error. Plus, with multiple document formats supported, you can easily generate custom carrier-specific labels and manifests, allowing for smooth integration with all your carrier partners.
Order consolidation
Automatically consolidate orders being shipped to the same destination. Consolidated orders are organised into a single shipment, based on configurable business rules unique to your organisation, saving you administrative time.
Address validation
Eliminate address errors or mismatched suburb and postcode combinations using our address validation tool. All orders passed through our Order API are automatically validated, saving valuable warehouse time and significantly reducing the need for re-deliveries or replacement orders.
Performance and reliability
Ignition is built using high-performing technology, designed to handle unlimited shipping requests from multiple warehouses, and real-time processing of complex business rules and rating logic. Our system is proven to run smoothly and without interruption, allowing you to scale your operations during peak periods, without impacting your performance.
