Automated shipping at DLA Proficiency Tests GmbH

The challenge

As a specialized provider of proficiency testing in food analysis, the DLA Proficiency Tests GmbH Samples are sent to laboratories worldwide. Reliability, speed, and error-free customs clearance are business-critical.

In the previous process, the manual creation of shipping labels and the preparation of customs data represented a significant operational burden. Recurring manual entries led to time losses and simultaneously increased the potential for errors in the process.

The solution: Seamless Billbee integration

By integrating Billbee with Paket International, DLA was able to consistently automate and standardize the entire shipping process.

All relevant shipping data – including recipient information, product contents and values ​​– are taken directly from the merchandise management system and transferred to the shipping process without any media breaks.

The system in detail: Direct label creation from Billbee

The core of the solution is the bidirectional connection between Billbee and paket-international, which enables complete automation of the shipping process:

• Full automation:
  Shipping data is taken directly from Billbee and processed without manual intermediate steps.
• Automatic label creation:
  Shipping labels including all necessary documents are generated in seconds.
• Integrated customs clearance:
  Customs information is processed and correctly prepared by the system.
• Error reduction:
  The elimination of manual entries significantly reduces the error rate for addresses and customs data.
• Time saving:
  Operational costs in shipping are significantly reduced; processes run automatically in the background.

The result

Through integration, DLA was able not only to accelerate its shipping processes but also to make them scalable. International shipments can now be handled reliably, reproducibly, and without additional manual effort.
