To accelerate carrier integration between the Shippit and Fluent Order Management platforms, Shippit and Fluent Commerce provide a connector that enables seamless pick, pack and dispatch processes inside the Fluent Store App.
Here are the prerequisites for the client to obtain the Shippit Connector:
The Shippit Connector includes the following integration sequence, which is part of the typical process between Fluent OMS and Shippit:
Within Fluent's OMS, the Shippit Connector plugin includes rules, reference workflows, and documentation. The client/partner can follow the documentation to enable the Shippit integration.
The Shippit account setup can be found here: https://support.shippit.com/en/articles/8942277-fluent-commerce-integration
The Fluent workflows and UI manifest can be extended to support special or custom business requirements.
The Shippit Connector would allow the Store User to process a group of fulfilments at the wave level. The advantage of this logic is that it would allow the Store User to generate shipping labels and the carrier manifest in one user action, whereas some carriers would penalise the client for not submitting the carrier manifest. This process streamlines the dispatch process at the store level.
An alternative workflow can allow the Store User to select one or more articles to be included in a manifest. This manifest process occurs outside of the wave. The advantage of this approach is that the Store can generate manifest once a day and reduce the amount of paper printed. This feature can be easily added by updating workflows, settings and UI manifest.
