Benefits of the Ciblex x Shippingbo connector
Ship your Ciblex orders without using a separate process

Reduce errors before label generation
Services, codes and options are defined in the configuration to secure label generation and limit blocks at dispatch.
Keep pace as activity accelerates
As volumes rise, your teams rely on a more stable framework to process Ciblex shipments more consistently and with less friction.
Move from manual processes to more controlled execution
Structure your Ciblex workflows within a more centralised environment to improve clarity, operational ease and day-to-day confidence.

The limitations of Ciblex without Shippingbo
Without Shippingbo
- Label generation: Switching between tools, separate printing and manual steps
- Choosing the right service: Risk of mismatch between the service used and expected code
- Shipping options: Scattered configuration, risk of omissions
- Day-to-day execution: Data re-entry, manual checks and reliance on the extranet
- Peak periods: Manual handling accumulates as volumes increase

Advanced use cases: compatibility is validated before activation
Options, services, country coverage and notifications: secure special cases before deployment.
Service / code mapping specific to your contract
With Ciblex, the code associated with a delivery service is not universal: it depends on the customer's contract. The same business requirement is therefore not configured identically from one account to another. Shippingbo lets you structure the mapping between the services you use and the codes expected by Ciblex, securing label generation and preventing inconsistencies at dispatch.
Label options and workflow customisation
Depending on your organisation, you may need standard printing, to display the Ciblex logo, add business references to the label or use a custom customer label. Shippingbo lets you enable and define these options according to your contract and use cases, adapting the shipping workflow without leaving the process.
Recipient notifications aligned with your customer promise
Some teams want recipients to receive email and/or SMS notifications to provide a better delivery experience. Shippingbo lets you enable these options in the configuration when required, aligning carrier execution with your service organisation.
Saturday delivery or cash on delivery
Depending on your business, you may need to enable specific options such as Saturday delivery or cash on delivery for certain workflows. Shippingbo lets you integrate these options into your Ciblex contract configuration so they can be used within a cleaner, more controlled framework.
