Warehouse Automation APIs

Connect your warehouse systems, WMS/ERP and scanners to OrderNXT and let the routine work run itself. Create labels, schedule pickups, manage returns and keep every order’s status up to date in real time—all from automated flows that your team can trust.

Why Warehouse Automation with OrderNXT

• Hands-off fulfillment: Trigger labels, pickups and notifications straight from your warehouse screens or scanners.

• One flow for every carrier: Use your own contracts or OrderNXT rates across DHL, DPD, InPost, GLS, FedEx, UPS, USPS, Poczta Polska, Hellmann and more.

• Fewer errors, faster handoffs: Saved products, packaging and address books remove re-typing and mismatches.

• Live visibility: See what was created, when, by whom—plus instant exceptions for quick fixes.

• Built to scale: Multi-location, multi-user operations with consistent rules and presets.

What you can automate

• Label creation – single, multi-package and batch labels in seconds (supports thermal & PDF output).

• Scheduled pickups – book collections with InPost, FedEx and Poczta Polska from a rule or button press.

• Returns – generate branded return labels and decisions (approve, reject, keep-item-and-refund).

• Tracking & updates – push tracking numbers and fulfillment status back to your sales channels.

• Custom documents – auto-create and send commercial invoices, CN23/CP71 and paperless trade docs from order data.

• Manifests & handover – print what the courier needs, exactly when they need it.

Common warehouse workflows

• Scan-to-Ship: Scan an order or SKU → OrderNXT fills weight, service and address → label prints, tracking is sent.

• Smart carrier choice:
  IF locker available → InPost · ELSE cheapest tracked rate · IF weight > 20kg → GLS

• Pickup guardrails: If no pickup booked by 15:30 and ≥ 10 parcels ready → request same-day pickup.

• Return station: Accept barcode or order ID → apply rules → issue label or decision and notify the customer.

• International ready: Orders crossing borders trigger customs documents automatically with pre-filled HS codes and parties.

How it works (simple roll-out)

1. Connect your WMS/ERP and define which events should trigger actions.

2. Map fields & presets for packaging, addresses, service preferences and tags.

3. Add rules for carrier/service selection, pickups and returns.

4. Test in a safe workspace, then go live for the warehouse team.

5. Monitor live timelines, success rates and exceptions from one dashboard.

FAQs

Do I need developers to benefit?
Not necessarily. Many teams start with presets and rules in the UI, then add deeper connections later.

Can we keep our carrier contracts?
Yes. Use your own accounts at no extra fee, or switch to OrderNXT discounted rates when it’s better.

Will it work with our scanners and packing stations?
Yes. The flow supports scan-to-ship and packing-station triggers so operators never leave their screen.

How do updates reach my store?
Tracking numbers and fulfillment status are pushed back to supported channels (e.g., Shopify, Allegro).

What about international shipments?
Commercial invoices, CN23/CP71 and electronic trade documents can be generated automatically from order data.
