What are shipping processes?

Shipping processes encompass all the steps required to prepare, dispatch, and track goods from a warehouse or fulfillment center to the end customer – including packaging, carrier selection, label creation, pickup coordination, and delivery tracking.

Shipping processes in eCommerce

In eCommerce, streamlined shipping processes are critical to meet delivery expectations and reduce operational costs. Automating shipping steps like carrier allocation, shipping label generation, and real-time tracking ensures fast and error-free fulfillment. With everstox, all shipping processes are integrated into one platform – enabling brands to manage multi-carrier shipping, SLA routing, and cross-border deliveries with full transparency.

Example for shipping processes

A FMCG retailer processes 500 orders daily. With everstox, each order is automatically assigned the best carrier, labels are printed in real time, and shipment data is synced with tracking and ERP systems – all within seconds.
