Directly generate shipping labels within Extensiv by entering dimensions and shipping details, without switching between systems.
Feature Description
The Extensiv Direct Label Generation feature allows customers to generate shipping labels directly within the Extensiv WMS interface without requiring interaction with Skupreme or other external shipping platforms. This integration provides a streamlined workflow for warehouse operations while still leveraging the multi-carrier rate shopping capabilities of shipping APIs.
How It Works
- Users enter package dimensions and shipping details within Extensiv
- The system connects to shipping carriers via API
- Available rates are displayed for selection
- Labels are generated and returned directly to the Extensiv interface
- Transactions are processed through a dedicated wallet
Benefits
- Streamlined Workflow: Eliminate platform switching between WMS and shipping software
- Multi-Carrier Rate Shopping: Compare rates across multiple carriers
- Simplified Operations: Reduce training requirements with a single interface
- Faster Processing: Decrease time spent on label generation
- Consistent Experience: Maintain the familiar Extensiv interface
Implementation Requirements
- Dedicated Extensiv workspace or WMS instance
- Configured wallet for payment processing
- API integration with shipping providers
- Simplified UI for dimension entry and carrier selection
Technical Considerations
This feature requires backend development to create new API endpoints that handle raw shipping details and return label data. The estimated development time is 1-2 weeks, assuming a simplified user interface.
FAQ
Q: Do we need to configure a separate wallet? A: Yes, a dedicated wallet will be required to process payments for the shipping labels.
Q: Will all carriers be available through this integration? A: The available carriers will depend on the API integration, but the goal is to provide access to multiple carriers.
Q: How does this differ from the existing Shippo integration? A: The existing Shippo integration requires users to switch between platforms. This new feature keeps the entire workflow within Extensiv.
