From Shopify to Nordstrom EDI dropship, from UPS to DHL Express—AIMS360 apparel ERP integrates all your carriers, sales channels, and shipping workflows into one streamlined system.

Why AIMS360 Apparel ERP Shipping Is a Game Changer

Before AIMS360 apparel ERP, brands bounced between carrier portals, spreadsheets, and EDI sites—guessing rates and delivery dates while chasing compliance. It’s slow, error-prone, and expensive.

With AIMS360 apparel management software, shipping becomes a single, intelligent flow across Shopify sales channels, wholesale shipping, and EDI dropship:

✅ Ship with UPS, FedEx, USPS, Canada Post, Purolator, GLS, DHL Express

✅ Compare rates + delivery dates in real time

✅ Bulk-generate multi-carrier shipping labels and UCC 128 labels

✅ Create ASN EDI 856 and shipping notices automatically

✅ Manage freight collect/third party billing for major retailers

✅ Run ship to store management and ship from store for omnichannel fulfillment

✅ Automate shipping rules per channel, handling Shopify sales channels, wholesale shipping, and EDI dropship in one place

Measured impact: roughly 25% faster processing, up to 99% accuracy, and +15% on-time deliveries.

Automate Shipping & Handling Costs Across All Sales Channels

Set pricing rules by channel or customer:

• Discounted shipping cost (negotiated or group rates)

Examples

• DTC: discounted carrier rate + $2.50 handling for premium packaging
• Wholesale: 5% handling to cover cartonization and compliance steps
• EDI dropship: $10 per order for labels and ASN work

Rate & Delivery Date Comparison: Cheapest On-Time Choice

Use rate shopping to compare prices and delivery dates across carriers—then pick the least expensive option that still hits your promise date.

Wholesale vs Retail Shipping—What’s Different and How to Handle Both

EDI Shipping and Freight Collect (Retailer’s Account)

Some retailers require freight collect / third party billing—you ship on their account. AIMS360 supports this for EDI dropship and bulk DC orders while generating ASN EDI 856, UCC 128, packing hierarchies, and routing docs to avoid chargebacks.

Ship to Store Management and Ship from Store

• Ship to store: transfer stock from DC to stores with labels, manifests, and tracking; inventory moves from “in-transit” to “on-hand” automatically at receipt.
• Ship from store: route ecommerce orders to the nearest store with inventory, print labels locally, and deliver faster.

Group Discounted Shipping—How It Works (with Example)

AIMS360 connects you to pooled group shipping discounts (via SPL Group) so you benefit from enterprise-level carrier rates:

• Typical UPS Ground: $15.80 → Group rate: $11.20
• Save $4.60 per package × 1,000 shipments/month = $4,600 monthly savings

You can still ship on your own accounts when that’s cheaper.

Advanced Warehouse Management System (WMS) for Fashion Brands

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) controls inventory movement, storage, and fulfillment in your warehouse. Fashion brands need a WMS tailored to apparel—with matrix inventory, size/color breakdowns, seasonality, and retailer compliance.

AIMS360’s built-in WMS (WMS clothing) is fashion-first and matrix-based, so you manage style–color–size in one view (not hundreds of separate SKUs). It stays synced across channels in real time.

What you get

• Color/Size Matrix Inventory Control
• Real-Time Inventory Sync to Shopify, wholesale, EDI
• Optimized Picking & Packing by order type
• Integrated shipping labels, UCC 128, and manifests
• ASN & EDI Compliance for major retailers
• Ship-from-Store & Ship-to-Store routing
• Barcode Scanning & Mobile Picking for near 99% accuracy
• Multi-Warehouse Management (DCs, 3PLs, stores)
• Reports & alerts (low-stock, replenishment, cycle counts)

Automation, Tracking and Returns—All in One Platform

• Automation rules for service, carrier, packaging, insurance, tags
• Batch label printing for high-volume days
• Address validation to reduce failed deliveries and correction fees
• Branded tracking pages plus simple returns (RMA)
• Works alongside fashion PLM software and supports supply chain integration
• Fits into apparel ERP systems / apparel software systems with the usability of a clothing inventory management app
