Case Study: Magic FX streamlines arena-scale freight shipping with ShipStation

Magic FX saves 2.5 to 3 hours a week with ShipStation LTL shipping

Magic FX, a manufacturer of special effects equipment for concerts and arenas, faced a shipping challenge after a merger significantly increased its volume of large freight shipments. Previously, the company had to manage this process outside of its main system, ShipStation, by juggling multiple brokers and manually creating bills of lading, which was time-consuming and inefficient.

By implementing ShipStation's LTL shipping solution, Magic FX was able to seamlessly integrate freight into its existing parcel workflow. The vendor's platform provided automated quoting, booking, and tracking, along with automatically generated documentation. This saved the operations team 2.5 to 3 hours per week, reduced manual work by 5 minutes per shipment, and unlocked new carrier options that saved approximately $1,200 monthly on freight to Las Vegas alone.
