Automated Split Shipments for DTC
Food Retailers
A 6-pack order shouldn't ship in a 12-pack box. A frozen order shouldn't share a box with ambient. ShipFare reads your products, packaging, and cold-chain rules — then splits orders into the right number of boxes automatically. Less wasted insulation, fewer thawed shipments, and accurate rates at checkout.

How the Box Splitting
Algorithm Works
ShipFare reads your box specs, products, weight limits, and cold-chain rules — then splits each order into the right number of boxes. The algorithm picks the smallest configuration that still gets the cold chain right, so you're not paying for boxes you don't need or risking thaw on the ones you do.
Automatically Calculates Required Shipments
Box dimensions, insulation R-value, weight cap, and product mix all feed the math. ShipFare picks the smallest viable configuration that still keeps the cold chain intact — one box if it fits, two if it has to.
Protects Your Cold-Chain Packaging
Overfilled boxes lose temperature fast — the products crowd the gel packs and the air circulation suffers. The algorithm respects your packout specs, so every box ships with enough room for the cold to do its job.
Improves Shipping Cost Accuracy
The customer sees the real shipping cost at checkout — not a guess that turns into an absorbed loss when packout reality says you need a second box. What they pay matches what you spend.
Why Automated Box Splitting
Matters for Perishables
Reduce Packing Errors That Lead to Spoilage
The right box, the right service, the right insulation — picked before the order even hits the packing station.
Lower Shipping Costs With Smart Packout Layouts
Stop paying for a 2-day overnight upgrade because someone reached for the bigger box.
Speed up Order Fulfillment
The packout decision is made before the box hits the bench. Your team just packs.
Improve Accuracy Across Real-Time Shipping Rates
Live rates pulled from your real carrier accounts, applied against the real packout. No surprises after checkout.
Protect Margins by Using Only the Packaging Required
Smaller box, fewer gel packs, less dry ice when the order can handle it. Margin lives in the details.
