The shipping process of cross-border e-commerce logistics is an important indicator of the service quality of cross-border stores. It not only takes into account the delivery time of international parcels, but also the cost of transportation; parcel packaging also needs to consider the restrictions of various logistics channels on parcel size, weight, etc.
When cross-border e-commerce sellers have few orders in the early stage, the shipping process is generally to log in to various e-commerce platforms (such as Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, etc.), enter the order management module, import the order information into the Excel worksheet, classify it according to the product, and then take this classified Excel order to the warehouse to pick up the goods, then print address labels in batches, pack the goods according to the order, and then compare the order information and paste the address labels on the corresponding packaged goods, and finally go to the background of the e-commerce platform to mark the shipping status as shipped, and enter the logistics tracking number to complete the shipping task.
When the store operates to a certain stage, with the increase in the number of orders, the initial shipping process can no longer meet the work needs. At this stage, ERP software is generally used to assist in shipping. ERP software can download and merge the orders of the day from various platforms, and enter the logistics tracking number to complete the shipping task. Combined with the different inventory conditions of the products on the order in various warehouses (for multiple warehouses), the products are automatically distributed to the corresponding warehouses that meet the conditions, and the warehouse shipping personnel are reminded to ship the goods. The shipping personnel can print the distribution list in the system, and then pick the goods. They can directly scan the QR code on the product to automatically print the order delivery address label corresponding to the product, and then paste it on to complete the shipment. After the shipment, the ERP system will automatically mark the shipped order as shipped. There is no need to manually enter the tracking number. By connecting with the third-party logistics information, the logistics tracking number can be automatically entered into the tracking number of the platform. This can avoid many repetitive and tedious operations and improve work efficiency.
