ABOUT YOU ShippingInterface for efficient ordering processes
Accept orders, create shipping labels and report tracking data back to your connected systems in a structured manner – with Paket International.
ABOUT YOU Shipping without unnecessary intermediate steps
Connect marketplace orders, shipping providers, label creation, and tracking in a structured process. This reduces the manual effort per order – especially with increasing order volume.
Orders are handled centrally.
Relevant order, recipient, and shipping data are readily available in a structured format for processing. Duplicate data entry and copy-and-paste processes are reduced.
Create shipping labels faster
Generate labels directly from existing order data and select a suitable shipping option depending on the destination, package details, and service requirements.
Reliable tracking feedback
After the shipment is booked, the tracking number and shipping status are returned to the connected process and assigned to the respective order.
As shipping volumes increase, manual processes become a bottleneck.
A marketplace connection is only complete when shipping, labeling and tracking are also processed reliably.
