eCommerce SaaS Platform Enhancement: Fulfillment with ShipWorks

Part of our last major release in January was a service module to allow our Customers to plug-in to the latest version of ShipWorks. The OrderDynamics integration components will also be rolled into the ShipWorks installer for quick integration to our "One-Click Bill & Print" fulfillment automation system for future Customers.

With this enhancement, we've integrated the OrderDynamics eCommerce back end manager at our dataceter, to the ShipWorks software running on the shipping computer our Customer's site. It handles data linking for Customer Service, Shipping, and Tracking for those using ShipWorks 2.9 to automate shipping activities.

What is ShipWorks?
ShipWorks is for people who sell online. It connects to your online store or seller account. It downloads your orders and makes it easy to create shipping labels, manage customers and emails, and update the online status of each order.

Other options?
OrderDynamics supports a wide range of fulfillment and shipping integration options. To be honest, integration to service providers like ShipWorks is very straight forward thanks to the built-in platform APIs inherent in the OrderDynamics system.

Example Service Providers Supported:

  • United States Postal Service (USPS)
  • Canada Post
  • UPS
  • FedEx
  • DHL
  • Pitney Bowes
  • Endicia
  • Professional Distribution
  • Purolator
So far we've had a great experience working with the ShipWorks development and their leadership team.

Recurring Online Retail Sales Possible with "AUTO SHIP" fulfillment automation by OrderDynamics On-Demand eCommerce Solution

February 19, 2009

OrderDynamics, Canada's leading On-Demand eCommerce Solution provider enables its merchants to offer a recurring purchase and ship option called "auto ship".

Toronto - OrderDynamics Corporation, Securing repeat business is important in any business especially in times of economic uncertainty. For online retailers it's becoming an essential way not only to survive, but to grow revenues on top of a reliable base. Online retailers are in a unique position to acquire recurring sales through sticky services and providing relevant information after the initial purchase thanks to having detailed customer information in their database.

As part of their new feature release strategy, OrderDynamics performs regular Dynamic Merchandising eCommerce Surveys to capture specific interest areas from its Client base. "We hear consistently from both new and current Clients that recurring purchases is a key part of their sales strategy. This helped us prioritize our AUTO SHIP feature" explains Steven Berkovitz, VP Development. OrderDynamics calls its recurring purchase and shipping feature AUTO SHIP, which is a well known term in the eCommerce community.

AUTO SHIP gives the online merchandiser point and click ease to enable their customers to automatically receive certain products on a regular basis. Merchandisers can offer special discounted pricing for customers that subscribe to AUTO SHIP as well as offer multiple shipment frequencies. Call Center agents are also able to easily up-sell shoppers and subscribe them to AUTO SHIP on their behalf. The OrderDynamics SaaS-based eCommerce solution handles the recurring charges and shipping, and provides key management metrics to the merchant to manage their AUTO SHIP program.

AUTO SHIP seamlessly integrates into existing OrderDynamics fulfillment technology. "Our One-Step Bill & Print concept totally streamlines the fulfillment process for our merchants" explains Michael Benadiba, CEO of OrderDynamics. "With a click of a button, orders are downloaded, matched to shipping manifests, then printed for warehouse staff and uploaded to the shipping company for shoppers to track their orders online. And this can be done anytime throughout the day". This process has been refined over the years specifically to reduce fulfillment errors and handle higher volumes of orders. "AUTO SHIP orders seamlessly integrate into our existing One-Step Bill & Print which makes rolling out this new feature transparent to our customer's fulfillment departments." continues Benadiba.
These enhancements are part of an overall new feature release strategy that OrderDynamics includes as part of their eCommerce solution.
