Shipping Integration
Fast, Error-Free Shipping Integration
Shipping is the final step and the one your customers remember. Our shipping integration helps you pick, pack, and ship accurately at speed, with built-in validation, smart automation, carrier flexibility, and real-time updates that eliminate delays and mistakes.
Ship Faster. Ship Smarter. Ship Without Errors.
In ecommerce, speed matters but not at the expense of accuracy. Descartes Peoplevox makes it easy for your team to fulfill every order with confidence, scan by scan.
Key Ecommerce Shipping Capabilities:
Integrated Pack Bench Workflow
Staff scan a tote or slot, see expected items, verify contents, and trigger automatic label printing, all from one flow.
Barcode Validation
Every item is re-scanned during packing to confirm accuracy before shipping.
Automatic Label Printing
Shipping labels are generated instantly via your connected carrier management system – no toggling or re-entry needed.
Packaging Barcode Scanning
Scan packaging materials to capture weight and dimensions for more accurate label generation.
Shipping Partner Agnostic
Use the native Descartes ShipRush out of the box, or integrate with your preferred carrier tools including Shipster, Starshipit, Metapack, and more. Easily adapt to new carriers by region or growth stage without changing your warehouse workflows.
No Manual Label Handling
Staff never have to leave Peoplevox to print shipping labels, it’s all done behind the scenes.
Ecommerce Shipping Automation That Drives Decisions, Not Just Labels
Most warehouse management systems (WMS) execute fixed shipping instructions without logic. Peoplevox does more.
- With the Descartes ShipRush shipping integration as your control tower, you can:
- Automate carrier/service selection based on rules like weight, destination, or service level agreement (SLA)
- Prioritize express shipments and split orders dynamically
- Apply branded packaging or blind shipping logic based on customer or channel
- Modify or override defaults without IT dependency
Your IT team gets flexibility. Your warehouse team gets consistency. Your customers get faster, smarter shipping.

Packing workflow includes:
- Tote or slot scan to start the dispatch process

FAQ
How are shipping labels created?
Our shipping integration creates labels via API with ecommerce shipping software – like Descartes ShipRush, Starshipit, or Shipster – and prints them automatically when the order is packed.
Can I verify items at the pack bench?
Yes. Every item is scanned again during packing to confirm accuracy before shipping.
Does the shipping integration support different packaging types?
Absolutely. Packaging can be scanned like SKUs to log dimensions and weight for precise shipping calculations.
What if I have multiple shipments per order?
Descartes Peoplevox supports split shipments, multi-parcel orders, and can track each dispatch separately.
Is manual data entry required at dispatch?
No. Once scanned and packed, the label is printed, the order is marked shipped, and your systems are updated in real time.
What if I want to change carriers or open a new warehouse abroad?
No problem. Peoplevox is carrier-agnostic and works with your preferred partners. You can adapt shipping services per warehouse, market, or region without changing your core warehouse setup.
