Operations I build and maintain automation for
A product with no weight won't stop a label printing. The label just goes out at whatever the rest of the order weighed, and a packing rule has no dimensions to work with. You get the list of products to fix, ranked by how many shipments each one touched.
When someone types a box's dimensions instead of selecting the saved package, a rule can't match it, and a typo goes straight onto the label. See every box you actually shipped in, and which saved boxes your team is still typing out.
Some shipments are priced on the size of the box, not what's in it. See which ones, and which could have gone out in a smaller box. It also flags contents that measure larger than their box, which means your product or package data is wrong.
Every extra size is another decision on the floor, and the wrong sizes get billed on dimensional weight. This tests your shipments against your packages and ULINE’s catalogue, then shows which sizes to keep, drop and add, how much billed weight that cuts, and when another size stops paying for itself.
A package that stopped scanning days ago can look just like one in transit. See your oldest undelivered shipments from the last two weeks, how long since the last scan, and which are past their estimated delivery, so you know which to chase first.
Every 30 minutes, pending shipments are grouped by order date, by a "BATCH:" tag or by single-SKU vs multi-SKU, and anything already in a batch stays put. Test it first to see exactly what it would do without touching ShipStation.
Date, tag and SKU count are the three things it can group on. If your batches turn on something else — pick path, carrier cutoffs, which station packs what — that's past what a tool can work out without knowing your floor.
Shopify and most other channels send the gift message in one block of text with everything else, so it isn't in its own field. This pulls it out and writes it to the one field you choose. Pick a preset, preview it on a recent order, and map PO numbers or delivery instructions the same way.
