Case Study: Elkay Manufacturing Co. achieves streamlined Oracle shipping execution and higher warehouse productivity with ShipConsole

ShipConsole Simplifies Oracle Shipping Execution for Elkay Manufacturing

Elkay Manufacturing Co., a family-owned manufacturer since 1920 with over 3,000 employees and production in the US, Mexico and China, needed a market‑proven Oracle shipping execution solution that integrated Oracle E-Business Suite R12 with multiple freight carriers (UPS, FedEx, Echo), could be implemented quickly during their R12 rollout, and offered a simple, easy‑to‑maintain interface for shippers across six U.S. distribution centers handling roughly 1,000 packages per day. ShipConsole was selected to meet these requirements.

ShipConsole delivered an Oracle‑validated, unified shipping interface—providing multi‑carrier online shipping, label printing, shipment tracking, proof‑of‑delivery access, ship confirmation, and rate shopping directly from EBS—pulling data from Oracle and printing customer and carrier labels in Oracle WMS. Implemented across Elkay’s six DCs, ShipConsole streamlined outbound processes, eliminated duplicate customer data maintenance, improved shipper productivity, and enabled rate‑shopping and carrier integration; Elkay reports faster, more efficient outbound preparation and execution with ShipConsole.
