SOLUTION

Customers want Fast Shipping - but they need better coordinated and synchronized Fast Shipping.

The Eighth Notch (T8N) enables this by introducing greater data synchronization between retailers and carriers.

Our platform facilitates intelligent data exchange between all parties to identify opportunities to merge deliveries to one destination.

Instead of sending orders out without coordination, we help retailers optimize ship dates for improved efficiency and sustainability, without impacting end consumer expectations.

T8N’s technology doesn’t extend delivery times for end customers.

We ensure all parties use their available time more strategically and optimize value creation.

PRODUCT

The Eighth Notch introduces a simple change to e-commerce fulfillment:

Instead of synchronizing shipping, we enable synchronization of delivery.

  • Currently, retailers fulfill orders without coordinating delivery to the end customer.

    This is true for a single retailer, and across retailers.

  • Variable transit times lead to different delivery dates – and unnecessary waste and overall stress on the fulfillment network.

  • With our solution, retailers still fulfill the same way, but they ship orders on an engineered date T8N provides – ensuring delivery on the same day due to synchronized transit times.

PRODUCT: Scenario 1 - Synchronizing With Retailer

The T8N Platform changes the focus from Synchronized Shipping to Synchronized Delivery.

2 Shipments

2 Deliveries

Without T8N - Synchronized Shipping:

Retailer receives order and picks, packs and ships both items as fast as possible - shipping both on the same day.

Customer receives two separate deliveries - one 2-days after the order date, and one 4-days after.

Carrier makes two separate trips to the Customer’s home.

2 Shipments

1 Delivery

With T8N - Synchronized Delivery:

Retailer receives order and picks, packs and ships both items on the Engineered Ship Dates provided by T8N. They will be different due to differing Transit Times.

Customer receives one merged and synchronized delivery of two packages - 4-days after the order date.

Carrier makes one trip to the Customer’s home.

PRODUCT: Scenario 2 - Synchronizing Across Retailers

The T8N Platform enables and assures Deliveries from Multiple Retailers arrive at the Same Customer Address at the Same Time

2 Shipments

2 Deliveries

Without T8N - Un-Synchronized Delivery:

Retailer A receives order and picks, packs and ships order as fast as possible - shipping when ready and with zero awareness of other packages going to same address.

Customer receives two separate deliveries - one from Retailer A and one from Retailer X. FYI - Retailer A is unaware of Retailer X’s planned delivery.

Carrier makes two separate trips to the Customer’s home.

2 Shipments

1 Delivery

With T8N - Synchronized Delivery:

Retailer receives order and picks, packs and ships the order on the Engineered Ship Date provided by T8N. This date allows the order to be delivered along with another Retailer’s package already scheduled for that address

Customer receives one merged and synchronized delivery of two packages - from two (or more) different Retailers. T8N provides the intelligence to ensure delivery is synchronized.

Carrier makes one trip to the Customer’s home
