Benefits of the Monstock connector with PostNL

The integration between Monstock and PostNL enables businesses to automate the entire shipping process, from parcel preparation to final tracking, while ensuring seamless data synchronisation between the two systems. This connector is a real driver of operational efficiency and reliability in transport flow management.

Thanks to this integration, all data relating to parcels created in Monstock is automatically transferred to PostNL. This automation eliminates redundant manual entries, reduces the risk of errors and speeds up processing. Teams benefit from a faster, more accurate process that is perfectly aligned between the two solutions.

The connector also ensures the automatic generation of shipping labels (PDF/ZPL) based on the information transmitted to PostNL. These labels, which comply with the carrier's standards, are sent directly back to Monstock, ready to be printed. This two-way flow ensures complete consistency between preparation and shipping data.

Once parcels have been collected, PostNL assigns a unique tracking number that is automatically integrated into Monstock. Users can track the status of their shipments without leaving the platform, benefiting from real-time visibility on delivery progress.

The connector also manages the automatic tracking of delivery statuses (Track & Trace). At each stage of transport — collection, transit, delivery or return — information is synchronised in real time in Monstock. This gives users a complete overview of the status of each parcel and allows them to react quickly in the event of any anomalies.

Finally, the connector supports returns, facilitating the automatic reintegration of information associated with these flows into Monstock. Return data (date, status, tracking) is automatically transmitted and updated, enabling smooth and effortless management.

The Monstock ↔ PostNL integration is therefore a strategic solution for companies seeking to streamline their shipping processes. It enhances the accuracy, speed and reliability of exchanges, while improving overall supply chain performance through complete automation of interactions between systems.

Description of flows between Monstock and PostNL

The integration between Monstock and PostNL is based on a series of automated, real-time synchronised flows, enabling continuous, two-way communication between the two platforms. These flows ensure optimal management of shipments, tracking and returns, while guaranteeing data reliability at every stage of the process.

Flow from Monstock to PostNL

When a parcel is created in Monstock, all the information required for its shipment — addresses, weight, dimensions, and transport options — is automatically sent to PostNL. This triggers the generation of a shipping label (PDF/ZPL) within the PostNL system.


The label thus generated is sent back to Monstock to be printed and affixed to the parcel, ensuring full compliance with the carrier's standards.

In the same flow, PostNL assigns a unique tracking number to each parcel. This number is sent back to Monstock and integrated into the corresponding shipping record, ensuring complete traceability of the shipment from the moment it is created.

PostNL feed to Monstock

Once the parcels have been collected, PostNL automatically sends the tracking status (Track & Trace) to Monstock. This information reflects the different stages of transport: departure, transit, delivery or return. Each update is synchronised in real time, giving users a complete and up-to-date overview of their shipments.

The connector also manages returns: when a parcel is returned, the associated information — tracking number, reason, date and status — is automatically transferred to Monstock. This data allows you to adjust stock levels and order statuses without manual intervention.

Automation and triggers

Data exchanges between Monstock and PostNL are fully automated, with no human intervention required. The main triggers for synchronisation are the creation of a parcel, the generation of a label, the assignment of a tracking number, and delivery updates. This automation ensures data consistency and reliability at all times.

Operating profits

This connector offers users a smoother, more connected and efficient supply chain, where every shipment is automatically tracked, traced and updated. By reducing manual handling and improving visibility of flows, it saves considerable time, reduces errors and improves control over transport operations.

The Monstock ↔ PostNL integration is therefore a key asset for companies wishing to modernise and automate their shipment management, while improving service quality and customer satisfaction.
