Stef

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

Connecting Stef 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 connector between Monstock and Stef offers complete automation of shipment management, ensuring smooth, accurate, real-time control of transport flows. By linking these two solutions, companies optimise their operational processes and increase efficiency throughout their supply chain.

The integration ensures direct and reliable communication between Monstock and Stef, allowing all operations related to shipping, tracking and returns to be centralised. As soon as a parcel is validated in Monstock, the information required for shipping — weight, dimensions, sender and recipient addresses, order reference, etc. — is automatically sent to Stef. This two-way flow ensures perfect data synchronisation between the systems, without the need for manual re-entry.

The connector also enables the automatic generation of shipping labels (PDF/ZPL). This automation significantly reduces processing times and eliminates human errors related to data entry. The labels created by Stef are sent directly back to Monstock, ready to be printed and integrated into the shipping process.

Once transport has commenced, the tracking number generated by Stef is instantly synchronised in Monstock. This gives users complete visibility of the status of deliveries, from collection to delivery to the recipient.

The connector also manages the automatic updating of delivery statuses (Track & Trace), allowing each stage of the process to be tracked in real time: in transit, delivered or returned. This increased visibility enhances team responsiveness and end customer satisfaction.

Returns management is also automated: the relevant data (reason, date, status) is sent directly to Monstock, ensuring consistent updating of stock levels and shipping history.

Finally, viewing delivery rates and taxes directly from Monstock allows you to choose the best transport option according to your operational needs, balancing costs and delivery times.

Thanks to this integration, businesses benefit from simplified management, considerable time savings and enhanced reliability. The Monstock ↔ Stef connector is therefore a strategic lever for improving the performance and fluidity of the supply chain.

The integration between Monstock and Stef is based on automated, bidirectional and continuous data flows, ensuring smooth data exchange between the two systems. Each step of the process — from parcel creation to delivery — is synchronised to ensure complete traceability and real-time updates.

Flow from Monstock to Stef

When a parcel is created and validated in Monstock, the shipping information is immediately sent to Stef. This data includes the weight, dimensions, recipient's address, order reference and sender information. This transfer automatically triggers the generation of shipping labels (PDF/ZPL) by Stef, which are then sent back to Monstock. Users can then print them and integrate them directly into their preparation process.

At the same time, the tracking number associated with the shipment is generated by Stef and synchronised in Monstock. This automation ensures instant traceability and avoids double entries or omissions.

Stef's feed to Monstock

Once the shipment is underway, Stef sends the delivery status (Track & Trace) back to Monstock. Each update — parcel collected, in transit, delivered or returned — is automatically integrated. This gives users a clear, up-to-date view of the progress of each shipment.

Returns are also taken into account: Stef sends the relevant information (reason, date, status) to Monstock, enabling automatic stock updates and simplified management of reverse flows.

Viewing rates and taxes

Before any shipment, Monstock may consult Stef to obtain the applicable transport rates and taxes. This feature allows you to anticipate costs, compare options, and optimise transport choices based on your needs and constraints.

Automation and triggers

Exchanges between Monstock and Stef are fully automated and triggered by specific events: parcel validation, label creation, delivery status updates or return processing. This automation ensures data consistency, fast flows and fewer errors.

Key benefits

Thanks to this integration, companies benefit from real-time synchronisation, reduced manual handling, and complete shipment traceability.

The Monstock ↔ Stef connector is a powerful solution for centralising, automating and improving the reliability of transport management, thereby enhancing the overall performance and responsiveness of the supply chain.
