Understand your shipping
The cost of seafood shipping adds up quickly because of all of complications with perishable goods packaging and extra costs for temperature controlled shipping services. To reduce these shipping costs, it is imperative that you understand your seafood business’s shipping characteristics. However, many small businesses simply do not have the time or resources to perform audits and gather shipping data so they can plan logistics better. EPISCS is able to help small seafood businesses and large fish wholesalers alike by automating the refund claims process. However, this is just the first step in reducing shipping costs. EPISCS is the most sophisticated lost and damage claim filing service available to your business. With the lost and damage claim filing service enabled, EPISCS automatically sees the issue and takes the necessary actions to secure a refund for the value of the contents of the shipment. You collect the refunds issued by the carriers without having to file the time-consuming claims manually on your perishable goods.
The free auditing app also provides you with data that can be used to make better logistics planning decisions based on your specific type of parcels and peak shipping times. Is it better to use FedEx Deep Frozen shipping or do you go with UPS? Which transportation carrier is getting your seafood shipments delivered on-time most frequently? And which carrier offers the best rates for your core customer base? Once your seafood delivery business starts using data from EPISCS in making logistics decisions, you’ll be able to choose the shipping services which work best for your company’s unique needs. As a value-add service, EPISCS offers an additional carrier agreement optimization option to save 10-20% on shipping bringing profits back to your business. Carriers tend to slip waivers and fees into shipping contracts that they hope you don’t understand, but the EPISCS experts negotiate complicated contracts ensuring the maximum amount of savings.
There are absolutely no upfront costs or fees to use EPISCS. The only fee you will ever pay is a split of shipping refunds that are credited to your shipping accounts.
