2,000+ shipments across 70+ countries in year one.
After three failed attempts with previous software contractors, UrShipper partnered with Wadecheryl to engineer an automated multi-carrier rating and dispatch platform.
The Challenge
Rate volatility & fragmented carrier APIs.
Cross-border freight involves complex tariffs, dimensional weight variations, and disparate carrier SOAP/REST endpoints that frequently time out.
Previous agencies had written fragile point-to-point scripts that broke whenever a carrier updated their API schemas, halting daily shipping operations.
The Solution
Resilient adapter architecture.
Wadecheryl designed a fault-tolerant adapter pattern with circuit breakers. If one carrier's endpoint degrades, the engine gracefully falls back to cached rates or alternative carriers.
Automated customs declaration PDF generators and zebra label printing pipelines were implemented, reducing warehouse fulfillment time by 75%.
