Smarter packing.

Faster dispatch.

Fewer errors.

The old way vs Clarus.

Spreadsheets got you here. They won't get you further.

Before

Manual checks and unclear rules created delays and cost

Decisions relied on tribal knowledge, not standardised logic

Mispicks slipped through with only manual verification to catch them

Customers chased “where is my order” with no visibility of their own

After

Scan-to-pack checks catch mispicks before they ship

Pack by line or by unit, whichever the order needs

Auto dispatch for speed, manual dispatch where compliance gates apply

Tracking and carrier events sync automatically, cutting customer contacts

How it works.

Start seeing results straight away.

A dynamic warehouse interface displays options for packing orders by entire lines or verifying items at the individual serial level. The system optimises fulfilment speed by only prompting packers for extra details when strictly necessary.

Granular control over packing.

Choose Pack by Line for meticulous handling where each sales order line must be verified and packed as a unit. Or use Pack by Unit for item-level precision when serials, lots, or mixed cartons matter. Automation removes rekeying and prompts packers only when human judgement adds value.

A configurable warehouse dashboard provides options for automated dispatching and manual gate checks. Operations can easily adapt their packing strategies to meet specific service level agreements and channel requirements.

Dispatch logic that mirrors your operation.

Select Auto Dispatch for touch-free flow from pack confirm to label print and ASN generation. Use Manual Dispatch when you want a human gate before goods leave the building. Or coordinate Shipment Tasks to align carrier bookings, collection waves, and paperwork. Every strategy uses the same Pack & Dispatch Strategies backbone, so you can mix by account, channel, or SLA.

An automated scan-to-pack interface verifies items and quantities to instantly block mispicks. This efficient verification process improves on-time delivery rates without requiring additional warehouse staff.

Fewer errors, faster turnaround.

Scan-to-pack checks eliminate mispicks and ensure the right items, quantities, and lots are shipped. Exceptions surface instantly with clear resolutions. As a result, rework drops, turnaround times shrink, and OTIF performance rises without adding headcount.

A warehouse management system seamlessly integrates with enterprise resource planning and carrier platforms in real time. This digital synchronisation eliminates manual data entry and reduces fulfilment errors.

Integration without the headaches

Our integration framework synchronises sales orders, inventory, shipments, and tracking with your ERP, OMS, and carriers. Data moves in real time, so customer services see the same truth as the warehouse. Labels, manifests, and documents are produced at the point of need with no manual copy-paste.

Fix what slows your warehouse down. Work smarter.

Packing and dispatch is where accuracy meets customer expectation. Manual checks, unclear rules, and courier complexity create delays and cost. Clarus Pack & Dispatch Strategies replaces tribal knowledge with configurable logic you can trust. Orders flow from pick to pack with clear tasks, guided scans, and instant validation. Dispatch rules release the right shipment at the right time, with the right documents, every time.

Use Pack & Dispatch Strategies to standardise best practice across accounts and orders. Gain real-time visibility of progress and exceptions. Reduce manual touches while increasing control. Keep promises with confidence.

Warehouse Manager

Use Pack by Line to guarantee line-level accuracy on complex B2B orders, or switch to Pack by Unit where serial capture matters. Live dashboards show what’s packed, what’s waiting for courier allocation, and where exceptions sit, so you stay ahead of the line and ahead of the promise.

Operations Director

Configure Auto Dispatch for standard orders to remove wait states and drive volume. Apply Manual Dispatch gates for high-value shipments or export compliance. Compare carriers by pick-to-despatch cycle time and first-attempt delivery success.

Customer service lead checks shipment status and tracking events synced from pack & dispatch strategies.

Customer Service Lead

Real-time sync pushes tracking numbers, carrier events, and proof-of-dispatch directly into the CRM or order portal. Clear audit trails link every packed carton back to pick and lot, so disputes end quickly. Fewer WISMO calls, faster resolutions, happier customers.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ACTUALLY ASK.

Frequently asked questions

How does Pack & Dispatch Strategies integrate with our existing systems?

Clarus uses a robust integration framework to synchronise orders, inventory, shipments, and tracking in real time. We connect to ERPs, OMS platforms, and carrier APIs using modern, secure methods. Labels and documents print at the point of pack, and tracking numbers post back immediately to your host system. If your stack includes multiple sales channels, we normalise data into one workflow so the warehouse doesn’t need to care where an order came from. This reduces manual rekeying and keeps customer services aligned with live warehouse activity.

Can it support multi-site operations?

Yes. Pack & Dispatch Strategies scales across sites while respecting local rules, carriers, and cut-offs. You can define global standards (like Pack by Unit for serialised goods) and allow local overrides for carrier availability or country-specific paperwork. Central dashboards compare sites by pick-to-despatch cycle time, error rate, and courier performance. This makes it easy to spot where a strategy change will deliver the biggest improvement without rolling out heavy process changes everywhere.

What’s the difference between Pack by Line and Pack by Unit?

Pack by Line verifies each sales order line as a controlled block, ideal for B2B shipments where completeness matters more than carton mix. Pack by Unit validates each individual item, capturing serials or lots when needed. Choose one per account or per order, or mix them within the same warehouse as your catalogue demands. Both approaches use guided scans, clear prompts, and instant exception handling, so accuracy stays high whichever path you choose.

How does Auto Dispatch compare to Manual Dispatch and Shipment Tasks?

Auto Dispatch is designed for speed and consistency. Once packing is confirmed, the system allocates the carrier and service, prints labels, generates the ASN, and posts tracking automatically. Manual Dispatch inserts a human gate for extra checks, such as export compliance or payment verification. Shipment Tasks coordinate courier bookings, manifesting, and trailer loading where carrier workflows are more complex. You can run all three modes in parallel depending on customer or product rules without building custom logic each time.

Can Pack & Dispatch Strategies reduce customer service contacts?

Yes. When tracking numbers, carrier events, and proof-of-dispatch flow back to your CRM or order portal in real time, customers see updates before they ask. Clear audit trails tie every packed carton to its pick task and, where relevant, serial or lot numbers. This shortens investigations and removes ambiguity. Many teams see fewer WISMO contacts and faster resolution times. The result is higher customer satisfaction without increasing headcount.

What hardware and labels are supported, and how do we manage carrier changes?

Clarus works with common handheld scanners, printers, and scales used across modern warehouses. Label templates and documents are managed centrally and applied per carrier or service. When carriers change their requirements, you update mappings once and roll them out by account or site. Because dispatch logic sits in Pack & Dispatch Strategies, you can switch volumes between carriers quickly to protect service levels during peaks or disruptions.
