EPISHIP App

EPISHIP’s quoting interface provides a historical view of all generated rate estimates. Administrators can review quotes generated by external sources (like a shopping cart), manually delete obsolete quotes, or email quote details directly to customers.

EPISHIP API

The REST API that powers the quoting engine. It supports both public-facing endpoints for creating new quotes (ideal for frontend integrations) and administrative endpoints for listing, deleting, and managing existing quotes within the system.

Authentication

Secured via Bearer tokens in the Authorization header. While creating a quote can be integrated into public-facing tools, administrative actions like listing all quotes or deleting records require elevated permissions and authentication.

Quote Logic

A comprehensive calculation engine that takes package dimensions, weight, and line items into account to return a precise cost estimate. It factors in carrier specific logic to ensure the quoted price matches the eventual label cost as closely as possible.
