Logistics teams are discovering that the fastest way to reduce labor costs isn't adding more staff, it’s connecting the systems they already rely on. When ERPs, WMS platforms, carrier networks, and accounting tools integrate through FreightPOP, companies can cut labor costs by up to 30%. That level of savings becomes possible because integrations eliminate the repetitive work that used to consume hours every day.
Disconnected systems force teams to manually move data between platforms, typing order details into multiple systems, copying tracking numbers, uploading documents, logging into countless carrier portals, and reconciling invoices line by line.
Every manual touchpoint equals labor hours.
FreightPOP’s integration ecosystem eliminates those touchpoints by synchronizing shipping, ERP, WMS, accounting, and carrier data in real time. When data flows automatically, shipping operations flow automatically too.
For many companies, the highest-volume labor drain is retyping order information into shipping systems. FreightPOP removes that completely with ERP integrations, including:
With these connections in place:
Orders flow directly into FreightPOP
Shipping details sync back to the ERP
Teams don't need to re-enter item data, dimensions, addresses, or order numbers
Labor savings: 2–5 minutes per shipment
Result: Teams process more shipments without adding headcount.
When an order is created in your ERP, FreightPOP automatically:
Pulls in order details
Shipping address
Line items
Weights & dimensions
Customer-specific rules
Delivery requirements
Creates the shipment automatically inside FreightPOP
No retyping, no copy/paste, no spreadsheets.
Allows FreightPOP to execute the shipping workflow
Rate shop, select a carrier, generate labels, create documents, and track—without touching the ERP manually.
Pushes shipment data back into the ERP
Tracking numbers
Freight costs
Carrier information
Shipment confirmation
Updated order status
This completes a seamless two-way sync that turns shipping into an automated extension of the ERP—not an off-platform manual chore.
ERP connectivity replaces manual data entry and system-to-system handoffs with automatic syncing, greatly streamlining the entire shipping workflow.
Teams no longer spend minutes typing order data into multiple systems.
Freight classes, weights, dims, and customer info stay consistent across platforms.
Bad data costs money. Automated data ensures clean, accurate shipments.
With orders automatically flowing in, teams move straight to booking—no prep work needed.
Customer service, accounting, warehouse, and logistics all get the same source of truth instantly.
Most companies underestimate how much labor goes into manual ERP-to-shipping work. Here’s what FreightPOP customers typically save:
No retyping order details.
Tracking and cost data sync back automatically.
Tracking numbers reach the ERP instantly.
Across hundreds or thousands of orders per month, these efficiency gains routinely translate to 30% reductions in labor costs for shipping teams.
FreightPOP customers often describe ERP integrations as “transformational” because of how many downstream tasks they touch. For example:
A distributor stopped manually printing orders for warehouse staff—everything now flows digitally.
A manufacturer eliminated two full-time positions dedicated to manual data entry.
A multi-location business standardized shipping rules across all sites by syncing everything through their ERP.
A high-volume eCommerce seller shortened order-to-ship time by 30% just from integrations alone.
The common thread across all of them:
integrations removed the friction that slowed the business down.
Not all integrations are created equal. FreightPOP’s approach is:
Fast, reliable, real-time syncing.
Most rules are set up in minutes, not months.
Supports multiple ERPs, multi-facility setups, and unique workflows.
You can scale volume, locations, or functionality without rebuilding integrations.
This is why FreightPOP’s ERP connections are at the center of so many customers achieving high percentages of labor savings.
ERP integrations are one of the most impactful ways logistics teams can reduce labor costs, eliminate errors, and speed up their shipping workflows. By allowing data to move automatically between systems, FreightPOP empowers teams to operate with greater accuracy and consistency—freeing them from the repetitive tasks that slow operations down. And with simple automations available to extend that efficiency even further, companies can confidently scale their shipping volume without increasing headcount.
