How Starship Technologies Ships Robot Parts with Cargoson TMS
Starship Technologies builds autonomous delivery robots and ships spare parts from their Ohio distribution center to 60+ universities across the United States. Before Cargoson, they compared rates by logging into FedEx and UPS portals separately and emailing carriers for LTL quotes.
"We're saving money daily with our ability to quickly compare rates. The Cargoson interface is much more intuitive than those provided by the major US small package delivery providers."
Why Electronics Manufacturers Need Specialized Shipping Software
Electronics manufacturing logistics isn't like retail or general wholesale. Whether you run contract electronics manufacturing, PCB assembly, or finished product distribution, you need purpose-built TMS software for your unique challenges.
Complex Supply Chains
Many suppliers, many carriers, many colleagues. Whether you are an OEM, ODM, or EMS provider, you are coordinating inbound shipments from dozens of component suppliers across different countries. Semiconductors from Asia, passives from Europe, connectors from local distributors: each shipping via different carriers. You need a single platform where suppliers can book using your contracted rates.
High-Value Shipments
Electronic components are expensive and sensitive. A single reel of ICs can be worth thousands. You need visibility across all carriers for every shipment, from raw materials to finished assemblies and kitting operations.
JIT Manufacturing
Just-in-time and line-side delivery schedules mean delays cost money. When a component shipment is late, your production line stops. You need precise ETAs and proactive exception handling so production planners know before they have to ask.
Compliance Requirements
Electronics often require export licenses, dual-use declarations, or RoHS/REACH certificates. Medical and automotive electronics have additional traceability requirements. You need shipping documentation in one place, not scattered across email threads.
From Rate Comparison to Delivery in Four Simple Steps
Compare Carrier Rates
Enter shipment details once and see rates from all your carriers in seconds: parcel (DHL, FedEx, UPS), LTL, FTL, air, and sea freight. No more manual calculations from Excel/PDF rate cards, looking up current surcharges, or logging into multiple carrier portals.
Book and Generate Labels
Choose the best rate and carrier for your needs. Cargoson generates shipping labels, customs documents, and compliance paperwork automatically. Eliminate manual data entry and reduce paperwork errors.
Track All Shipments in One Place
All your shipments from all carriers on one dashboard with standardized milestones. Set up alerts for late deliveries, get notified on ETA changes. Production planners can check status themselves instead of emailing logistics.
Analyze and Optimize
Review carrier performance, shipping costs, and delivery times. Identify which carriers deliver on time for specific routes. Use data to negotiate better rates with carriers.
