This article was written for the Pack&Ship Extension (OnPrem or Per-Tenant). Pack&Ship is now a feature in the standard Mobile WMS (since MOB5.42). The separate extension is becoming obsolete and should be migrated to the standard feature.
Tasklet Factory has developed an Extension to enhance the pick, packing and shipping workflows in the warehouse when Mobile WMS and mobile devices are used.
“Pack & Ship” is an alternative to the existing Shipment and Tote Shipping in Mobile WMS and includes improvements to workflows such as:
Staging of goods between picking and packing processes
Repacking picked goods to new packages and pallets
Printing labels for package/pallet contents
Fully customizable integration to 3rd party Shipping Apps including booking and printing shipping documents directly from the mobile device.
The extension can be used without integration to 3rd party Shipping Apps and will still provide significant benefits in terms of staging, repacking, and printing package content label reports.
The main goal however, is to allow our customers to easily connect the Mobile WMS solution to their 3rd party shipping solutions. This will enable customers to create and book transports/consignments, and print the shipping labels directly from the mobile devices.
Integration to 3rd party Shipping Apps can be developed by partners by creating “Connectors” that will bridge the gap between “Pack & Ship” and the 3rd party Shipping App
We provide a framework that will streamline this process and significantly reduce the amount of code needed to support a new shipping solution
