Warehousing and Logistics
Shipping Management
Simplify and automate your order shipping processes from within your warehouse management software.
Stay connected with over 150+ pre-built integrations, including sales channels, couriers and accounting software
Why do you need a warehouse management software with shipping tools?
Arranging shipping for your orders manually is time-consuming and prone to human error as data is rekeyed from one system into carrier portals.
By using a warehouse management software that connects with your chosen carriers, you can simplify the process and remove the step of transferring details manually. You’ll also benefit from the ability to integrate with multiple shipping companies, suitable for B2C and bulk orders, and selecting the most appropriate for each shipment.
Benefits of Shipping Management Tools
Automated courier selection
Speed up your shipping processes by setting up customisable rules to perform automated courier selection based on product or order parameters such as item weight, size and delivery location, to ensure the most appropriate carrier is used.
Set up further rules such as order validation to ensure any missing data is flagged and can be corrected manually, prior to shipping being arranged and the order going to the warehouse floor for picking.
Manage multiple shipping partners
Flexibility is key and many ecommerce businesses use multiple carriers to offer a range of shipping services to their customers and to ship internationally.
No longer login to multiple carrier websites to manually transfer data and arrange shipments. Manage all of your carrier accounts from one place, to create shipments from within the Access WMS platform.
Despatch document creation
Reduce the manual workload of creating despatch documents for your orders. Access WMS automates the creation and printing of despatch documentation for every order.
You’ll no longer be manually generating documents such as:
- Despatch notes
- Courier labels
- Gift notes (if applicable)
Documentation can be customised with your own branding.

What our customers think of Access WMS
It was really the scale of our warehousing expansion that led us to take on the Access WMS. We knew our existing solution didn’t meet our requirements in terms of management, picking lists, picking locations, etc. – the system could not handle the number of locations and products. So we decided to get a warehouse solution in, and Access WMS suited our needs.
Access WMS has really improved the way we conduct ourselves as a business – it has helped us increase our revenue and gained us new customers. 3PL is a competitive industry and our customers rely on our 100% pick accuracy and rapid response times. So while our customers win with great service we win with productivity and efficiency gains; a true win-win.
As you can imagine working on Excel previously and then moving over to an effective WMS has made a huge difference. Access WMS is such an approachable system, it’s easy to use, easy to pick up and the way we’ve been able to service customers, especially online, has had a massive positive impact on the business.
