Shipping rules that connect customer requirements to carrier handoff
Coordinate service selection, labels, documentation, carrier tender, tracking, and shipment exceptions for the approved program. Discovery begins with the inputs needed to confirm product, workflow, systems, capacity, and service fit.
Only the approved scope becomes part of onboarding. Specialized handling, compliance, technology, carrier, project, or reporting requirements are reviewed explicitly rather than implied.

How Omnaris Delivers This Service
The operating plan defines inputs, ownership, normal work, holds, exceptions, escalation, data, and review cadence before launch. Omnaris works with your team to establish clear service requirements, operating procedures, and reporting expectations before inventory begins moving through the fulfillment center.
Set the rules
Document eligible services, accounts, package data, routing, billing, cutoff, and exception ownership.
Prepare and tender
Create approved shipment records, labels, and documents, then hand orders to the selected provider.
Return status
Share shipment confirmation, available tracking events, and exceptions through the agreed workflow.
KPIs are defined with each client.
Targets, calculation rules, exclusions, data sources, and review cadence belong in the agreed operating scope. The examples below are discussion points, not performance claims.
- Receiving variances and time to inventory availability
- Inventory adjustments and unresolved discrepancies
- Order exceptions and agreed carrier-handoff performance
- Return or project status where those services are in scope
What shapes the service quote
Pricing is based on the work, materials, space, systems, and shipping profile confirmed during discovery.
- Inbound frequency and whether inventory arrives by pallet, carton, or unit
- SKU count, product dimensions, storage characteristics, and average inventory
- Order volume, units and picks per order, destinations, and requested service levels
- Packaging materials, value-added work, returns, reporting, and exception handling
Service Questions
No. Omnaris can prepare and tender shipments under the approved process, but carrier movement and delivery remain subject to the selected provider's services and terms.
Rules can consider destination, package data, channel, requested service, eligibility, cost, and other confirmed constraints. The exact logic is documented during onboarding.
Claims ownership, evidence, account access, insurance, time limits, customer communication, and related fees must be assigned in the operating scope.
Both teams agree on the measures that matter, their definitions, target, exclusions, data source, ownership, and review cadence. No generic website statistic replaces the client’s agreed operating terms.
Each proposed storefront, marketplace, ERP, order, retail, carrier, and reporting path is reviewed for version, data, connection method, testing, ownership, and known limitations before launch.
Onboarding turns the approved scope into product setup, work instructions, data flows, tests, inventory-receiving steps, launch gates, escalation contacts, and an operating review plan.
