Fulfilment & Shipping

Despatch Cloud

Despatch Cloud brings your orders, couriers and warehouse into one place for picking, packing and shipping. Supply Lens connects it to your ERP and sales channels, so orders flow through for fulfilment and despatch confirmations and tracking come straight back, with nothing re-keyed.

What's Covered

From order to parcel, joined up.

Despatch Cloud runs the fulfilment. Supply Lens keeps it fed with orders and keeps every connected system updated as parcels ship.

Order Routing

Orders from your ERP and channels sent through to Despatch Cloud for fulfilment automatically.

Courier Management

The right courier and service picked for each order from the rules you set.

Despatch Confirmation

Despatch confirmations and tracking numbers returned to your systems and each sales channel.

Returns

Return requests and inbound stock handled and written back so your records stay accurate.

Multi-Warehouse

Orders routed to the right warehouse or location based on stock and destination.

Stock Sync

Stock levels kept in step between Despatch Cloud and your ERP as parcels ship.

Edge Cases Handled

Shipping is where
orders go wrong.

The gap between an order and a parcel is where addresses fail, couriers change and split shipments appear. Supply Lens keeps every despatch tracked and fed back.

"An order shipped in two parcels and only one tracking number came back."

Split shipments are handled individually. Each parcel returns its own despatch confirmation and tracking, so the customer and every channel see every part of the order.

"A bad address held up despatch and we didn't know until the customer chased."

Addresses are checked before an order is routed for despatch. Anything that fails is flagged early rather than sitting silently in a queue.

"We changed couriers and our labels and tracking broke."

Courier rules live in Despatch Cloud, so a change in carrier is handled centrally without breaking the flow of tracking back to your systems.

"Tracking never made it back to the marketplace and we got marked down on despatch times."

Despatch confirmations and tracking are returned to every connected channel the moment an order ships, so your despatch metrics stay clean.
