Global Shipping Integrations (DHL / FedEx / UPS)

The Global Shipping Integrations module connects Stack Porter directly with leading global carriers such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, and regional logistics providers. Shipping is one of the most cost-sensitive and operationally complex components of commerce operations, particularly at global scale. This module embeds shipping intelligence directly into the operating system rather than treating it as an external dependency.
At its foundation, the module manages carrier integrations, shipping methods, rate cards, service levels, and tracking workflows. Shipping options are calculated dynamically based on destination, package characteristics, service requirements, and cost considerations. This ensures customers see accurate delivery options while operators maintain control over logistics spend.
Automation plays a central role. Shipping labels, tracking numbers, customs documentation, and carrier communications are generated automatically as part of the fulfillment workflow. This reduces manual handling, accelerates order processing, and minimizes errors that lead to delays or disputes.
The module supports intelligent carrier selection. Orders can be routed to the most optimal carrier based on cost, delivery speed, reliability, or strategic priorities. This allows businesses to balance customer experience with margin protection without manual decision-making.
Integration with landed pricing, inventory, and order routing ensures shipping costs and delivery timelines are reflected accurately throughout the customer journey. Performance data feeds back into analytics and intelligence modules, enabling continuous optimization of shipping strategies.
From an operational standpoint, this module reduces reliance on external shipping tools and manual reconciliation. Logistics becomes a native part of the commerce operating system rather than a disconnected process.
The result is faster fulfillment, lower shipping costs, improved delivery reliability, and better customer satisfaction across global operations.
