Benefits of the Monstock connector with Pony Express

The integration between Monstock and Pony Express offers businesses a comprehensive solution for automating and improving the reliability of their shipping processes. This connector has been designed to streamline data flow between the two systems and ensure more efficient management of transport flows, while optimising supply chain performance.

Thanks to this connector, information relating to parcels is automatically transferred from Monstock to Pony Express, without the need for manual entry. This automation significantly reduces errors, limits double handling and speeds up daily operations. Teams thus gain in productivity while improving the reliability of shipments.

One of the major advantages of this integration is the automatic generation of shipping labels (PDF/ZPL). Using data from Monstock, Pony Express creates the necessary shipping labels and sends them directly back to the Monstock solution. This synchronisation ensures document compliance and standardises shipping processes.

Once parcels have been picked up by Pony Express, a unique tracking number is assigned and automatically integrated into Monstock. This gives users centralised, instant access to tracking information without having to navigate between multiple tools.

The connector also manages the automatic tracking of delivery statuses (Track & Trace). Each stage of transport — preparation, dispatch, transit, delivery or return — is synchronised in real time between Pony Express and Monstock. This transparency enhances team responsiveness and enables accurate information to be communicated to customers.

Finally, returns management is fully automated. When a return is initiated via Pony Express, the relevant information (tracking number, date, status) is immediately reflected in Monstock, enabling automatic updating of stock and orders.

By centralising the management of shipments, tracking and returns, the Monstock ↔ Pony Express integration offers a seamless and connected environment. Businesses benefit from better control over their flows, reduced lead times and increased reliability in their transport operations. This connector is a strategic asset for an efficient, automated and agile supply chain.

Description of flows between Monstock and Pony Express

The integration between Monstock and Pony Express is based on automated, bidirectional exchanges, ensuring consistency and reliability of information at every stage of the shipping process. These flows ensure real-time synchronisation between the two systems and simplified management of transport operations.

Flow from Monstock to Pony Express

When a parcel is created in Monstock, the information required for its shipment — such as the recipient's contact details, weight, dimensions, and delivery method — is automatically sent to Pony Express. This transmission triggers the generation of a shipping label (PDF/ZPL) in the carrier's system.


Once the label has been generated, it is sent back to Monstock to be printed and affixed to the parcel. This automation ensures compliance with Pony Express requirements and speeds up the processing of shipments.

In the same workflow, Pony Express assigns a unique tracking number to each shipment. This number is automatically imported into Monstock, enabling complete traceability from the moment the parcel is created.

Pony Express feed to Monstock

After picking up the parcels, Pony Express sends Monstock the tracking status. This data covers the entire shipping cycle — shipped, in transit, delivered or returned. Updates are automatic and continuous, ensuring total visibility of delivery progress.

The connector also supports returns management. When a return is registered with Pony Express, the relevant information (tracking number, date, status) is synchronised with Monstock. This allows for immediate stock updates and greater responsiveness in processing returns.

Automation and triggers

Communication between Monstock and Pony Express is fully automated at every key stage:

  • Creating a parcel → sending data to Pony Express
  • Label generation → automatic redirection to Monstock
  • Tracking number assignment → instant integration
  • Update tracking or returns → real-time synchronisation

Operating profits

This connector ensures a smooth, accurate and connected supply chain. By automating shipment management, it saves significant time, reduces errors and improves service quality.

The integration of Monstock and Pony Express is therefore an essential tool for optimising shipping flows, enhancing traceability, and offering a more efficient and controlled transport experience.
