Shipping Interface
The Expandable SHIPPING INTERFACE streamlines the shipping process by delivering faster package handling, reducing errors, and automating the capture and distribution of critical shipment information.
The two-way interface simplifies the sharing of essential data between Expandable and the shipping systems of major package carriers that offer ODBC connectivity, including UPS and FedEx.
MODULE FEATURES
Ship By Sales Order ID
When shipping, users scan or enter a Sales Order number into the carrier’s system, and the interface imports the corresponding “Ship To” data from Expandable, then populates the address fields in the carrier’s shipping system.
Capture Critical Shipment Information
After shipping, an Expandable utility imports information from the carrier’s system, including tracking number, freight charge, service type, weight, and number of cartons, to populate Expandable.
If the Expandable Customer Contact file contains an email address for the “Ship To” contact, some carriers will automatically generate an email message to the recipient notifying them of the shipment.
