Why Ship Date Calculation Matters

Customer selects delivery date January 15. Warehouse needs to know. when must this ship. With 3-day transit. ship date is January 12. Without automatic calculation. warehouse staff manually count backwards from delivery date - error-prone and time-consuming. Ship date calculation does this automatically by transit time. showing warehouse exactly when each order must leave to arrive on time.
