Shipping Decisions, Automated
Carrier and service-level selection handled automatically for every order.
Built to Grow With the Business
New regions, warehouses, and 3PL partners added without redevelopment.
The Challenge
When Shipping Gets Too Complex to Manage Manually
Each order required the right carrier, the right service level, and the right routing logic, all while accounting for destination, dimensional weight, shipping priority, and 3PL-specific requirements. Managing that complexity manually was not only time-consuming; it was increasingly difficult to scale without adding overhead or introducing costly errors.
The Solution
A Smarter Engine Takes Over
SuiteRep replaced Lovevery’s existing shipping logic with a centralized, rules-driven automation engine built natively inside NetSuite. The new system evaluates each order against a defined set of criteria, including destination, package weight and dimensions, shipping priority, and fulfillment location, and automatically assigns the optimal carrier and service level without requiring manual input.
The solution was designed with both precision and operational resilience in mind. Intelligent fallback routing ensures that orders are correctly assigned even when input data varies. Shipment grouping logic supports 3PL processing requirements, and every carrier assignment is tracked with a full audit trail. A phased deployment approach allowed the new engine to run alongside Lovevery’s legacy shipping logic during rollout, minimizing operational risk and enabling a smooth transition.

The Results
A Foundation Built for Where the Business Is Headed
- Automated the vast majority of shipping carrier and service-level decisions, removing manual review from standard order flow
- Reduced operational overhead associated with maintaining and updating shipping rules
- Improved shipping cost management through dimensional-weight calculations and carrier optimization
- Reduced fulfillment exceptions and the volume of orders requiring manual intervention
- Enabled Lovevery to expand into new regions, warehouses, and fulfillment partnerships without significant redevelopment
“You had a solid grasp of both the requirements and the underlying business process, which showed in a well-aligned implementation. This level of understanding has been consistent across all the projects we’ve worked on together. The code is clean, well-documented, and clearly built with performance in mind—ready to handle our high order volume. The overall quality was excellent, and notably, we saw near-zero defects after delivery. Well done, as always, and thank you for the attention to detail.”
