Benefits of the ZooPlus x Shippingbo connector
Greater control over your ZooPlus orders
Your ZooPlus orders flow into Shippingbo for processing in a more centralised environment. You reduce manual imports, data re-entry and scattered handling across extranets, ERP and logistics.

You publish stock from Shippingbo according to your configuration. You work from a more reliable data foundation to limit availability discrepancies, reduce overselling and secure your multichannel flows.
Clearer shipment tracking
Tracking can be sent through the connector with properly structured carrier mapping. You improve shipment visibility and establish a more structured framework for tracking orders, even across several countries or warehouses.
