New FedEx Integration Following Phasing out of UK Ship Manager Service

Efficient fulfilment of customer orders is key for customer satisfaction and businesses may use a single or multiple couriers to deliver items.

However, rekeying information into courier software can be a laborious process and can lead to mistakes such as incorrect deliveries. These mistakes together with the subsequent increased returns can be costly and time-consuming, resulting in an overall reduction in efficiency and, potentially, the loss of repeat custom.

Adding to the difficulties of despatch management, courier service providers may alter or withdraw services from time to time. One such example of this which is currently causing headaches for businesses is FedEx phasing out their UK Ship Manager service, which means businesses will be seeking alternate streamlined methods of despatch through FedEx.

Keep Your Despatch Processes Running Smoothly With Our FedEx Web Service Integration

OrderWise Courier Integration provides an effective solution by automatically generating consignment numbers based on despatch history, passing this information directly to courier software and recording these details against the relevant transactions. This streamlined process provides accurate, clearly visible information and vastly improves despatch efficiency. For companies selling via online channels such as an OrderWise Website or third party websites and marketplaces integrated with OrderWise, there are further benefits to be gained from our Courier Integration functionality. Consignment and tracking information can be passed back to the online channel to provide customers with full despatch visibility and high service levels.
