Core

Customer defined IDs in requests

For some entities, it is possible to specify a user-defined ID. This field can be utilized for the purpose of transferring IDs from external systems to the fulfillmenttools platform. If this ID is unambiguous, it can be now used to read and write the entity in HTTP.

At present, this functionality is exclusively available for stocks.

Inventory management

Bulk update of listings in multiple facilities

When inserting listings for different facilities, the bulk insert API can now be used to minimize the number of calls. First, the listings to be updated need to be searched for obtaining the current version. Afterwards, the listings bulk API can be used to update multiple listings for multiple facilities simultaneously.

New stock overview

The stock overview provides an overview of all articles in the network and their respective stock.

• Inventory across the entire network: View and filter the inventory of all articles and all facilities in the fulfillment network.

• All availability values at a glance: From the quantity available for sale and reservations to expected stock and safety stock.

• Customization Options: Users can rearrange columns and thus, tailor the view to their needs.

New listing detail view

The listing detail view provides facility specific information on an article that is listed in a facility. The new view is presented in an improved layout, offering more extensive listing details and new functionalities such as viewing and editing custom attributes.

Optimized shipping cost calculation through intelligent packing algorithms

The packing algorithm evaluates various methods for grouping ordered items into packages during the routing process. Therefore, shipping costs can be calculated more precisely based on the actual composition of the packages. Considering the dimensions of the items and the available shipping box types, realistic packaging scenarios are simulated.

In addition to fixed package rates assigned to specific shipping routes, the system can also calculate dynamic package-based costs such as costs per unit of weight or volume shipped. This detailed and data-driven calculation of shipping costs provides leverage to reduce shipping expenses across the network.
