Without leaving the Peoplevox application, scanning to dispatch an order triggers a two-way API call to Shipmate, and the correct shipping label for that order is returned and printed in seconds. The shipping number, carrier information and tracking details are also generated in Shipmate. This information is sent to the customer via the exchange of data between Peoplevox and your ecommerce platforms.
