Warehouse shipping in the WMS: connect carriers, labels and status cleanly
Shipping quickly becomes expensive when labels, portals, packing data and status updates run separately. COGLAS WEB WMS connects outbound handling and the carrier process into one traceable flow.

Process logic
warehouse shipping: connect status, data and next steps
Shipping in the WMS connects packing, shipping methods, carrier labels, tracking numbers and status updates. The packing cockpit in COGLAS WEB WMS guides you step by step through the packing process, uses an automatic quantity check to ensure completeness, groups shipments by tours and carriers, and secures the correct allocation of deliveries with a loading scan; shipping documents and labels are printed directly. Carriers and parcel/CEP providers are integrated, and status updates flow back to the ERP, shop or SAP. Entry starts at 490 EUR/month; with a suitable scope, go-live is possible in a few days.
The automatic quantity check makes sure the delivery is complete.
Bundle orders sensibly by tours and carriers; shipment pre-planning is possible.
Shipments can be structured by tour, carrier and status before loading; tracking and status data stay connected.
Operational signals
Why shipping without a WMS slows you down
COGLAS WEB WMS surfaces disruptions, status and open steps early so warehouse teams don't have to fix things after the fact.
01
Too many shipping portals
Shipping labels are generated separately, data is maintained multiple times and status has to be looked up after the fact.
02
Packing data is missing
Weight, contents, parcel or load carrier are not reliably linked to the order.
03
Tracking arrives too late
The shop, ERP or customer service team has no current shipment status.
04
Switching carriers takes effort
New carriers turn into a manual project when integrations are missing.
