One connection from order to delivered

Overview

DHL moves the shipments. Xorosoft prints the labels and keeps orders, inventory, and finance in sync.

When you rate and print DHL labels in a separate tool, orders, inventory, and accounting slip out of sync. The integration connects your DHL account to Xorosoft ERP and WMS, so DHL international and express rating, labels, customs data, tracking, and cost are a connected, auditable, real-time part of one fulfillment system. Tap each point to see how.

The business problem

Tap to reveal+

When DHL fulfillment and the ERP are disconnected, teams export and import orders by hand, reconcile inventory manually, and chase tracking, causing delays, oversells, and mis-ships.

The Xorosoft solution

Tap to reveal+

The DHL integration pushes orders to DHL for fulfillment, validates them upfront, and syncs shipping, tracking, inventory movement, and order status back into Xorosoft automatically.

The business benefit
