How it works
Add the cost and speed tradeoff
Enter the extra shipping cost per additional split shipment, the delivery-speed gain per split, and the value of a day of faster delivery.
Get a consolidate-vs-split recommendation
The calculator weighs the speed-gain value against the extra shipping cost to recommend whether to consolidate or split, and by how much.

Frequently asked questions
How does SplitShip AI decide between consolidating and splitting?
It compares the value of the delivery-speed gain per split (days saved × value per day) against the extra shipping cost per split. If the speed value exceeds the cost, splitting is recommended; otherwise consolidating wins.
What if one location can already fulfill the whole order?
If single-location stock coverage is 100%, the tool recommends consolidating regardless of the cost/speed inputs, since there is no fulfillment reason to split.
Does this connect to my live inventory or order-management system?
No. SplitShip AI computes a recommendation only from the figures you enter — it does not connect to a live inventory, warehouse, or order-management system.
How do I estimate the "value of a day of faster delivery"?
Use your own data if available (e.g. conversion or retention lift from faster shipping), or a reasonable estimate based on customer expectations and competitive delivery promises.
Can this handle more than two fulfillment locations?
Yes — enter the total number of eligible locations and the tool will recommend how many additional splits (beyond the first shipment) make sense given the tradeoff.
