USPS

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

Connecting USPS 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 USPS allows for the centralisation and automation of shipment management, while ensuring perfect data synchronisation between field operations and the information system. Thanks to this connector, companies have a comprehensive tool to simplify their transport processes and optimise the performance of their supply chain.

One of the main advantages of this integration is the automatic generation of shipping labels (PDF/ZPL) directly from Monstock. As soon as a parcel is validated, the shipping information — weight, dimensions, addresses and product references — is sent to USPS, which returns the label that complies with its standards in real time. This automation eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors and significantly speeds up order processing.

Once the label has been created, the tracking number is automatically transferred to Monstock and linked to the corresponding shipment. Users can thus track their parcels without leaving their Monstock environment, ensuring smooth and integrated delivery management.

Integration goes even further with automatic delivery status updates (Track & Trace). At each stage — pick-up, transit, delivery or return — USPS sends real-time updates to Monstock. This complete visibility of the parcel's journey improves team responsiveness and enhances customer service quality.

The connector also supports returns management. When a parcel is returned via USPS, the corresponding data (status, reason, date) is automatically updated in Monstock. This instant synchronisation ensures complete traceability and allows products to be quickly reintegrated into stock.

Finally, the connector offers the possibility to view delivery rates and taxes before shipping, allowing users to anticipate costs and select the best transport option.

By unifying transport flow management between Monstock and USPS, this integration enables businesses to increase agility, reduce processing times, and improve the reliability of their shipments. The Monstock ↔ USPS connector is an essential productivity lever for organisations wishing to automate their processes and enhance the performance of their supply chain.

The integration diagram between Monstock and USPS illustrates seamless, automated communication between the two systems. Each data flow has been designed to ensure perfect consistency of information, from parcel creation to final tracking.

Flow from Monstock to USPS

When a parcel is validated in Monstock, the shipping details (dimensions, weight, addresses, product references, order ID) are immediately sent to USPS. This triggers the automatic generation of shipping labels (PDF/ZPL), in accordance with the carrier's requirements. These labels are then available in Monstock for printing and affixing to parcels.

At the same time, USPS returns the tracking number for each shipment. This number is automatically integrated into the corresponding order in Monstock, ensuring complete traceability and eliminating the need for manual intervention.

USPS feed to Monstock

Once the shipment is underway, USPS provides Monstock with real-time delivery status updates (Track & Trace). Users can track every step of the parcel's journey — from collection to final delivery — directly from their Monstock interface. This automated update enhances visibility and allows customers to be reliably informed of the progress of their shipments.

The integration also manages return flows. When a parcel is returned, USPS transmits the corresponding information (date, status, reason) to Monstock. Stock levels are then automatically adjusted, ensuring consistency between physical and digital data.

Viewing rates and taxes

Before confirming a shipment, Monstock may query USPS to obtain applicable rates and taxes. This flow allows for accurate cost estimates and optimises the selection of the most suitable mode of transport.

Automation and triggers

All exchanges between Monstock and USPS are fully automated. Triggers are activated at key moments: parcel validation, label generation, tracking updates or return creation. This automation guarantees data reliability and reduces processing times.

Profits

Thanks to this integration, companies benefit from real-time synchronisation, complete traceability, and a significant reduction in errors.

The Monstock ↔ USPS connector streamlines the entire shipping process, improves visibility of flows, and optimises supply chain performance, while simplifying users' daily tasks.
