ISS is the stand-alone solution of EPG for more performance in shipping. And all of this at high performance and certainly from the cloud. The scope of services includes address validation and routing, the printing of the correct shipping labels according to the current service provider specifications and the completion of the shipment, including the handover of the consignment to the correct KEP / forwarding service provider.
ISS starts planning shipping shortly after receiving the order. Due to the complete Processintegration in (LFS) or every other WMS, the system receives all relevant information about the order from the higher-level system. From validated address data, a routing code is generated, which contains the destination and sender address data. Additional services, such as a delivery guarantee, are also recorded via the code. This significantly increases process efficiency even during the job compilation phase. The routing codes are then transferred to the host system for further processing.
After picking and packing the goods, ISS generates the shipping and returns label based on the routing information with a unique shipping unit number. Subsequently, a bar-coded shipping label is created with all relevant data such as address, weight, number of packages, routing code or shipping unit number - always considering the individual requirements of the respective KEP service provider. The integration of additional shipping methods and services is also quickly possible. Depending on the specifications of the respective carrier, additional individual service information can also be printed.
For shipment completion, ISS generates a parcel service-specific posting document. The system records all information relevant to the shipment, such as weight, dimensions or hazardous goods information. An automatic EDI mapping is then carried out by converting the shipping labels into the service provider's format. With the help of EDI and web services, all consignment data will then be exchanged electronically with the service provider. The shipper receives a manifest at the end - a compact and clear list of all packages in the shipment at a glance.
