EasyPost ⛭
EasyPost automates the selection, review, and purchase of small parcel shipping.
Easypost only works with your system if the WMS is installed.
EasyPost is integrated with the WMS and provides a single pathway to the systems of multiple carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.
The integration lets you:
Select the best carrier based on the destination, package size, weight, type, and preferred service options.
Review and compare shipping costs before purchase.
Book and purchase shipping using your customer’s account.
Print Shipping Labels
Automatically capture shipping information, i.e. tracking number(s) and cost.
