Use these events to

Create a Shipping Provider Connector to connect the Pack & Ship feature in Mobile WMS to a 3rd party Shipping App

Description

This includes:

  • Synchronize master data between Shipping App and Mobile WMS
  • Create and update "Transport Orders" (or similar) in Shipping App
  • Book and Print "Transport Orders" (or similar) in Shipping App

Description

The Pack & Ship feature provides a framework for packing and shipping including an API to interface with 3rd party Shipping Apps.

Shipping App usually deals with functionality like planning "Transport Orders" (or similar), booking shipments at external transporters and printing various transport documents. 


By implementing a new "Shipping Provider Connector" you can bring this 3rd party functionality to Pack & Ship in Mobile WMS.

We have created a complete example on Tasklet github


You may implement your own custom Shipping Provider Connector using the events described below.
