Shipping in OTO PACK is not just about dispatching orders but also serves as an essential tool for tracking orders ready for shipment. Once delivery companies update the status of these orders, they automatically disappear from the list, ensuring real-time visibility and accuracy.
The shipping process is available exclusively on the OTO PACK Mobile App and provides two methods for managing orders:
Ship by Packages
Ship by Dispatching Units
For a quick demonstration of both methods, check out the video from the link:

Individual Order IDs, Shipment Numbers, Box Counts, and Weights
Why Print the Dispatching List?
Proof of Pickup: It serves as an official record when handing over orders to the delivery company.
