Why Logentic?

You recognize that Logentic is a more modern and effective way to manage shipping and fulfillment. Here's how to help everyone on your team see it too.

How to pitch Logentic to Executives

Primary objection: Our shipping setup isn't perfect, but "works fine".

Your team may think their current shipping and inventory tools "work fine", but the reality is that they're slow, disconnected, and expensive for those who use them most. If you dig into things like your shipping cost per order, inventory accuracy, or the time spent reconciling between systems, you will likely uncover deep inefficiencies.

The problems with "works fine" tools

Most ecommerce companies are using a combination of shipping, WMS, and inventory tools with:

No single source of truth

Teams are using a hodgepodge of ShipStation, spreadsheets, and a basic WMS, leading to data silos, stock count discrepancies, and ultimately -- confusion.

Low adoption and engagement

Clunky tools are so painful to use that warehouse staff work around them, shipping labels get printed manually, and inventory updates get skipped.

Business impact

These problems have very real business consequences:

Shipping costs are a black box

When rates aren't automatically compared, you're overpaying for every package. Leaders see a total spend number but can't see per-order profitability.

Significant operational overhead

Every warehouse has a different process. Manual carrier selection, manual inventory counts, manual return processing. It all adds up.

Inventory errors kill revenue

Overselling leads to cancellations. Stockouts lead to lost sales. Inaccurate counts lead to expensive emergency reorders.

The Logentic difference

Logentic was built from the ground up to solve these problems. It's a purpose-built logistics platform loved by operations teams and warehouse staff alike.

When customers switch to Logentic, we see:

88%

Average savings on shipping costs through intelligent rate shopping

2x

Faster order fulfillment with smart pick & pack workflows

99.5%

Inventory accuracy with real-time sync across all channels

Average improvement based on data from brands migrating from ShipStation, ShipHero, Cin7, and similar tools.

The question isn't about how much better Logentic is -- it's how much money and productivity is lost each week by sticking with "works fine" tools. Given that shipping is commonly an ecommerce brand's second-largest cost after COGS, the savings alone justify this switch many times over.

How to pitch Logentic to Operations Leaders

Primary objection: Changing systems now is too disruptive to the team.

Your operations leaders may be hesitant to make the switch, but the move to Logentic is also an opportunity to clean house. Your most critical data is what's in stock and what needs to ship today. Migration is your chance to move forward with intention, not historical baggage.

Leverage the migration guide

Logentic's migration guide provides a clear framework to help you roll out across your organization. By following this framework, you ensure a thoughtful, well-planned migration that sets your teams up for success.

Phased rollout & training

We recommend a phased rollout, supported by ample training and support:

  • Connect channels and migrate data one warehouse at a time
  • Provide self-serve onboarding resources and dedicated training sessions
  • Designate a Slack channel for questions and support
  • Run both systems in parallel for the first few days before sunsetting the old one

Preserve existing progress

You have two options for handling your existing data:

1. Strategic reset

Migration is the perfect time to evaluate your product catalog, clean up SKUs, and set proper warehouse locations from scratch.

2. Import everything

Bring your products, inventory counts, open orders, and historical data into Logentic. We handle the mapping and validation.

How to pitch Logentic to Warehouse Managers

Primary objection: We have our processes dialed in. Why change?

Warehouse managers are protective of their workflows -- and rightfully so. Any new tool needs to make the floor faster, not slower. The key message: Logentic doesn't replace your team's knowledge, it amplifies it.

Faster pick & pack, less thinking

Logentic generates optimized pick lists with the most efficient walking paths. Batch picking, wave picking, and zone picking are all supported. Your team doesn't need to figure out the best route -- the system does it for them.

Fewer errors, less rework

Barcode scanning at every step -- receiving, putaway, picking, and packing -- catches mistakes before they become customer complaints. Mispicks drop dramatically.

Real-time inventory that's actually accurate

No more end-of-day spreadsheet reconciliation. Every movement is tracked in real time. Your warehouse team always knows what's on the shelf, what's committed, and what needs reordering.

Tools they'll actually enjoy using

Logentic's mobile-first interface was designed for warehouse environments. Large tap targets, clear visual cues, and minimal training required. New hires can start picking on day one.

How to pitch Logentic to Finance & Procurement

Primary objection: We can't justify another software expense.

Finance teams think in ROI. The good news: Logentic typically pays for itself within the first month through shipping savings alone. Here's how to frame it.

Tool consolidation

Most brands switching to Logentic are replacing 2-4 separate tools (shipping software + WMS + inventory tool + returns platform). Logentic replaces all of them. The net cost change is often negative -- you spend less, not more.

Shipping cost reduction

Logentic's rate shopping engine compares 50+ carrier services in real time and automatically selects the cheapest option for every package. Brands save an average of 22% on shipping, which for most operations means tens of thousands of dollars per year.

Use the ROI Calculator

We built a ROI Calculator that takes your current shipping volume and costs and shows you exactly what you'd save. Share it with your CFO -- the numbers speak for themselves.

How to handle pushback

The four most common purchase objections are predictable and addressable.

When pitching Logentic internally, you will likely encounter one or more of these objections. Here is what each one really means, and how to counter it with data.

"We can't afford this."

This usually masks "I don't see the ROI."

Surface the hidden costs of the current setup. Most brands are spending $1,000+/month on disconnected tools (shipping software + WMS + inventory + returns), plus thousands more in error costs and manual labor. Use the ROI Calculator to show specific before/after metrics: tool consolidation savings, shipping rate reductions, and recovered labor hours. At $199/month, Logentic typically pays for itself within the first month through shipping savings alone.

Run the numbers

"Implementation will disrupt operations."

They're imagining a 20-week enterprise deployment.

Logentic is cloud-based with a 2-4 week implementation timeline, not a months-long enterprise rollout. Onboarding is included at no extra cost and handled by a dedicated account manager. Both systems run in parallel during the transition so there's zero downtime. The migration team handles data import, configuration, and warehouse staff training. The real disruption is the one happening now: 20+ hours/week of manual processes across disconnected tools.

"Not now -- maybe next quarter."

They underestimate the compounding cost of waiting.

Calculate the monthly cost of the problems Logentic solves: shipping overcharges, inventory errors, manual labor, and mis-ships. If you're losing $3,500/month to these issues, that's $10,500 by next quarter. Those costs don't pause while you wait. Plus, the sooner you start, the sooner your team is fully ramped and operating at peak efficiency.

See how much you're losing

"Excel works fine for us."

They've normalized the hidden costs of manual processes.

Manual data entry has a 1-in-300 keystroke error rate. Barcode scanning has a 1-in-3-million error rate. At most order volumes, that's the difference between multiple errors per week and effectively zero. Beyond accuracy, spreadsheets can't rate-shop carriers in real time, sync inventory across warehouses, or scale for peak season. The hidden costs -- counting time, error rates, mis-ships, stockouts, and inability to handle volume spikes -- far exceed the cost of a purpose-built platform.
