Shipa

Shipa is a service for sending and delivering parcels to individuals.

Connecting Shipa to Monstock will allow you to edit the transport labels for sending your packages, and to benefit from precise real-time monitoring of the location of your packages and the status of your deliveries.

The integration between Monstock and Shipa enables businesses to simplify and automate the management of their shipping flows, while enhancing the reliability and traceability of their operations. This connector has been designed to offer complete and seamless synchronisation between the two platforms, ensuring optimised management of deliveries and returns within the supply chain.

Thanks to this connector, users benefit from automated data exchange between Monstock and Shipa. When a parcel is validated in Monstock, all the necessary information — addresses, weight, dimensions, references and transport service — is automatically transmitted to Shipa. This synchronisation avoids manual re-entry, significantly reduces human error and speeds up order processing times.

The integration also enables the automatic generation of shipping labels (PDF/ZPL) from Shipa. These labels are sent back to Monstock, ready to be printed and affixed to parcels, simplifying shipment preparation. This saves teams valuable time and provides a consistent, standardised process.

Another key advantage is the synchronisation of tracking numbers. As soon as a shipment is created via Shipa, the corresponding tracking number is automatically integrated into Monstock. This allows users to track each parcel in real time from a single interface, without having to navigate between multiple systems.

The connector also manages the automatic updating of delivery statuses (Track & Trace). Each change—pick-up, transit, delivery, or return—is sent back to Monstock, providing complete visibility into the parcel's journey. This transparency improves operational responsiveness and customer communication, while enhancing the reliability of tracking.

Finally, the integration handles returns management and consultation of rates and taxes directly from Monstock. This allows users to obtain a quick estimate of costs and plan their shipments efficiently.

By combining automation, traceability and centralisation, the Monstock ↔ Shipa connector brings real added value to businesses. It optimises shipping operations, reduces the risk of errors and guarantees an agile, efficient supply chain that can be managed in real time.

The integration between Monstock and Shipa is based on a series of automated, bidirectional flows, ensuring data consistency and fluidity between the two systems. The diagram illustrates the entire process, from parcel creation to delivery status and return updates.

Flow from Monstock to Shipa

When a parcel is validated in Monstock, the information required for its shipment (contact details, weight, dimensions, order references, type of service and delivery conditions) is automatically sent to Shipa. This transmission triggers the generation of shipping labels (PDF/ZPL) in Shipa, which are then sent back to Monstock for printing and integration into the operational workflow.

At the same time, Shipa assigns a unique tracking number to each shipment. This number is directly synchronised with Monstock, allowing users to centralise parcel tracking without leaving their usual interface.

Flow from Shipa to Monstock

Throughout the parcel's journey, Shipa sends delivery status updates (Track & Trace) back to Monstock. This information is updated in real time at each stage of transport: picked up, in transit, delivered or returned. This automation ensures total visibility and increased reliability of tracking, while allowing users to anticipate any delays or incidents.

The integration also manages shipping returns. When a return is initiated in Shipa, the corresponding information (reason, date, status) is automatically transferred to Monstock. This synchronisation facilitates stock updates and ensures smooth processing of reverse flows.

Viewing rates and taxes

Before confirming a shipment, Monstock can query Shipa to obtain shipping rates and taxes. This feature helps users compare costs, plan shipments, and make informed decisions about shipping methods.

Automation and triggers

Exchanges between Monstock and Shipa are fully automated, triggered by specific actions: parcel validation, label generation, status updates or return creation. This automation ensures continuous communication between systems without manual intervention.

Operating profits

This integration offers real-time synchronisation, reduced errors, and improved responsiveness in shipment management. Companies gain efficiency and visibility into their flows, while optimising the overall performance of their supply chain.

The Monstock ↔ Shipa connector centralises shipment management and automates key processes to provide a seamless, reliable and efficient experience at every stage of transport.
