Introduction

Apart from the fulfillmenttools offers custom carriers. They represent carriers that are not natively supported by fulfillmenttools, but are connected by an external service or operative process.

The concept is that a an own last mile fleet or an arbitrary carrier is integrated seamlessly into fulfillmenttools. Therefore, a mechanism is implemented, so that partners or customers can do the integration themselves, and support their processes in the best way possible.

Examples for a custom carrier setup:

  • Sending parcels via a local bike carrier

  • the shop owner, who takes parcels to a local carrier pickup point whenever it suits the operational process

  • an own carrier fleet that delivers goods on its own schedule using detached tooling (like a standalone routing service & delivery app)

Please go to the for more information on how to add a custom carrier via API.

Multiple custom carriers

While it is not possible to have more than one provided carrier in fulfillmenttools, it is very well possible to configure multiple custom carriers. Since the carrier key is used for identification and thus must be unique, a custom carrier must have the key starting with CUSTOM_ followed by any appendix (e.g., CUSTOM_BOSSONBIKE) to ease identification.
