Ship4u is a powerful, yet very affordable, web based Order Fulfillment, Warehouse Management, Inventory Control, Shipping and Tracking system. It is designed to handle users who need to process orders for one, or many clients, through a security function controlled by the user.
Scalable - Ship4u is scalable which mean if you are a small mom and pop organization just getting started and ship less then 1000 orders a month (just like one of our earliest clients was), Ship4u can help you with features and a price to get you started right. Yet, if you are large organization, (maybe shipping 50,000 orders a day - as one of our clients required) or you wish to get large, Ship4u has the power and features to enable you to do just that. Thus with one solution, you have a tool to get your job done and be assured that it can handle your future growth.
Ease of Use - Ship4u was designed using state of the art tools. It is controlled using a simple set of commands, screens with multi color tabs, and easy to use lookup and searching tools. Training can be completed in a few days and you can be entering and managing your system very quickly after that.
Web based - Ship4u is a web based system which enables you access to your data from anywhere that internet access is available including your office, the warehouse, at home, on the road (some use their Iphone), on a cruise ship on the high seas, etc. You can also provide this same access to your clients, though you control  what access they have, which can be no access, display only, or full access to any or all selected screens.
Reporting - Ship4u can provide reports on the web in Excel, HTML, and other formats. These reports can be left on the system indefinitely so you and your clients can see current and past reports for their analysis. Also, reports can be produced Ad Hoc or be scheduled to be run automatically per your or your clients selection. |
 | FEATURES

|---|
fShip4u’s  strongest feature is its ease of use and scalability Ship4u is the system which lets you grow without changing either software or hardware from a hundred orders a month shipped from your garage to an operation with hundreds of thousands orders automatically routed between multiple fulfillment centers. |
Our Development Goal is to:
- Provide the easiest to use full feature Fulfillment, Call Center and Warehouse Management system
- Let every user share the same code and new additions to give the small installation a virtual unlimited growth potential and to offer the large installation the ease of use required by our small users (with neither IT or warehouse management experts)
- Create an environment where our customers benefits from collaboration, e.g. by establishing virtual fulfillment centers by using each others facilities and personnel when its more cost effective than setting up a new warehouse
- Create a new freedom for the Clients, where they can change their operation virtually overnight without disrupting order flow, fulfillment or control routines and without any requirements for new interfaces

| We publish a feature list with mixed feelings; you need it to make sure that the system will take care of your daily operation. What you don’t need is an implementation with so many features that the daily operation gets out of hand. We try to follow the KISS principle “Keep It as Simple as possible, but not Simpler”. It is not an easy task; our rescue is a very active user community who guides us at every step.
