The system picks the carrier and prints the label itself

Packers do not browse courier portals. The system recognizes the order, picks the carrier according to your rules and prepares the waybill in a second. You trigger waybill creation for an entire batch of orders with a single click on the Print button, for ten or for a thousand parcels.

Printing triggers the work

When labels print, a picking list is created automatically

Label printing is not just printing, it starts the packing line. When waybills are created, the system automatically builds a picking list with all the items of the printed orders. With the "send to Warehouse" option the list appears on the warehouse operators' scanners at that very moment.

Label order = basket order on the scanner (Sort Algo)
Closed data loop

The tracking code reaches the customer automatically

When a waybill is created, the tracking code is automatically written back to the order in the client's webshop. The buyer receives a notification with tracking, and the client can follow the parcel's journey in their profile all the way to final delivery, without a single manual data transfer.

On dispatch, everyone involved in the process is notified
1 Parcel #5847 scanned and packed
2 Tracking code written into the webshop
3 Buyer notified · status: Dispatched
Comparison

Manual label creation versus automatic printing

How much time does your fulfillment center lose between the courier portal, Excel and the printer?

Manual work with portals
  • Retyping addresses: Recipient data is copied from the webshop into the courier portal, for each parcel separately.
  • Address errors: A typo means a failed delivery, a return and the cost of re-dispatch.
  • Manual tracking: Tracking codes are copied back into the webshop, while buyers keep asking where their parcel is.
  • More couriers = more portals: Each carrier has its own interface, its own rules and its own login.
Fulfillment App
  • Data flows by itself: Address, weight and contents come from the order, the waybill is created without retyping.
  • Errors isolated in advance: An order with an error is automatically moved to the Problems section, while the packing line keeps running.
  • Automatic tracking: The tracking code is written into the order in an instant, the buyer and the client are notified.
  • All couriers in one place: One packing line for all carriers, the system picks the right one according to your rules.
Workflow

From order to label in four steps

The full process of printing waybills and starting picking.

1. Selecting orders in the Dispatch view

In the Dispatch / Ready for dispatch view you choose the company you are preparing shipments for and select the orders. A click on the Print button creates waybills for all selected orders at once.

Guide: Dispatch

2. Automatic error handling

If an order contains an error (for example an incomplete address), the system reports the error and moves the order to the Problems section, where you fix it. The other orders move on without interruption, one error does not stop the line.

3. Downloading and printing waybills

You download the successfully created waybills with the Download button and print them on a thermal label printer. With the Sort Algo setting you can align the print order with the order of baskets during picking.

Guide: Sort Algo (label and basket order)

4. Starting picking and dispatch

When printing starts, the Picking window opens automatically, the items of the printed orders are already on the picking list. The warehouse worker picks the goods, scans the label and the parcel contents at the packing table, and on confirmation the order gets the Dispatched status.

Everything about automatic label printing

The system is multi-carrier: each client has their own set of couriers, and waybills are created through direct integrations (for example GLS via the myGLS API). If needed, you can also add an external distributor for an individual client. For a list of all supported couriers, see the Couriers page.
The system reports the error when the waybill is created and automatically moves the order to the Problems section. There you edit or fix it and send it to print again. The other orders are processed without interruption in the meantime.
In the Start view section you select the Sort Algo option, and you set the sorting logic (for example by order ID) in the Additional settings under Order Management. The basket order on the scanner is then exactly the same as the order of the printed labels, the items go from the packing table straight into the right boxes.
Yes. The tracking code is automatically written into the order in the client's webshop, and when the status changes to Dispatched everyone involved in the process is notified. The client can follow the parcel's journey in their profile all the way to final delivery.
