The platform that thinks before it ships.For each shipment, the algorithm collects the contracts linked to the account, evaluates cost, lead time and coverage, and picks the best option, case by case, not an average across carriers.
The selection algorithm, shipment by shipment
- 1
Collects the contracts
All the contracts linked to the account: your own and/or those negotiated by BIGhub.
- 2
Evaluates
Cost, lead time and coverage for the destination and the specific characteristics of each shipment.
- 3
Selects
The most advantageous option, case by case, not an average across carriers.
- 4
Generates the label
And registers the shipment, ready to dispatch, with tracking already linked to the platform.
- 01
Per shipment, not by average
Each shipment is evaluated on its own: the destination and the characteristics of each parcel change the best option from one shipment to the next.
- 02
Cost, lead time and coverage
The decision does not only look at the lowest price: it also weighs delivery time and coverage for the destination.
- 03
Your contracts and ours
The algorithm considers every contract linked to the account: your own, BIGhub's, or both at once.
Simulate before you ship.
Enter origin, destination and volumes (you can start from the product's EAN) and simulate shipping costs for your active carrier contracts, before you create the label.
Frequently asked questions
What changes between plans?
The carrier engine grows with the plan: automatic on Starter (best rate on the active contract), optimized on Growth (compares several contracts) and advanced on Scale (real-time optimization).
Does the algorithm consider my own contracts?
Yes. When you upload your contracts to the platform, the algorithm starts considering them in the per-shipment selection, alongside BIGhub contracts.
Can I see the costs before creating the label?
Yes. The shipping simulator calculates costs for your active carrier contracts from the origin, destination and volumes.
Is the choice based only on the lowest price?
No. The algorithm evaluates cost, lead time and coverage for the destination and picks the most advantageous option overall, shipment by shipment.
