Abstract
Systems, methods, and products for dynamically selecting carriers in a shipping management system are disclosed. In one embodiment, in response to a user requesting a new shipment, a shipping management system collects shipping information from a plurality of carriers. The system provides the user with a choice of carriers to ship the new shipment based on selection rules. In response to the choice of carriers provided to the user, the user can select one of the carriers to execute the new shipment. The shipping management system can send a signal to the computer system of the chosen carrier to execute the new shipment.
