Your current logistics challenges with Colibase
- Isolating your logistics data
Your Colibase ERP manages your physical stock well, but communication with your merchant sites (Shopify, PrestaShop) or marketplaces (Amazon, Cdiscount) is often broken or delayed. This lack of fluidity forces your teams to juggle with file exports, creating a dangerous gap between sales and logistics. Order centralization instantly reconciles these two worlds.
- Time-consuming management of transport labels
Generating transport documents from a conventional ERP system often lacks flexibility. You waste precious time manually selecting carriers or using disconnected loading stations. Automation via intelligent shipping rules enables you to print the right label, for the right parcel, at the best price, in a fraction of a second.
- Lack of responsiveness in customer follow-up
Once a parcel has been dispatched from Colibase, tracking information sometimes takes too long to reach the end customer, or requires manual action. This delay generates anxiety for the buyer, and unnecessary service tickets (“Where’s my parcel?”). Proactive, automated parcel tracking notification turns this stage into a lever for customer satisfaction.
- The difficulty of managing returns efficiently
Returns are often the dark spot in rigid ERP processes. Re-stocking in Colibase and customer reimbursement are uncorrelated steps that add to the administrative burden. A connected returns solution can streamline this cycle, speeding up the return of products and improving the after-sales experience.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Colibase to my shipping solution if my ERP is hosted on a specific server?
Our connector technology is designed to adapt to different architectures. Whether your Colibase instance is hosted locally or in the cloud, we use secure data exchange protocols (API, secure FTP, automated flat file exchanges) to guarantee the transfer of information. The aim is to make the connection seamless for your users: they continue to work on their own tools, while data is transferred in the background without any manual action.
Can I use this connector to manage both my B2B (pallets) and B2C (parcels) flows from Colibase?
Absolutely. Distinguishing flows is essential for profitable logistics. The connector identifies the type of order from Colibase. For B2C, it favors speed and parcel labeling (Colissimo, DPD, etc.). For B2B, it can manage different processes (e.g. chartering slips, pallet creation). You retain a unified vision of your business while applying channel-specific logistics processes.
Can the connector update stock on several sales sites at the same time?
Yes, this is one of the major roles of OMS E-commerce integrated. As soon as a stock movement is recorded in Colibase (supplier receipt, shipment, inventory), the information is captured and instantly distributed to all your connected sales channels. This means you can sell the same stock on Amazon, your Shopify site and in-store, without the risk of selling a product you no longer have.
Is it possible to change carriers easily without having to reboot Colibase?
That’s the whole point of outsourcing the transport layer via our connector. You no longer need to call in a Colibase technician to add a new carrier or modify price brackets. All transport configuration is done in the interface of the connected shipping solution. You gain total agility to negotiate new carrier contracts and activate them in just a few clicks for your shipments.
