What is a Transsmart Shipment Connector?

A Shipment Connector is an IT solution designed to automate warehouse processes. Once the Shipment Connector is implemented, it takes over some of the manual tasks that arise when you receive an order. Our Shipment Connector is intelligent in that it automatically generates the shipping label in your Transsmart logistics platform directly from the sales order or warehouse shipment documents in Business Central. Track & Trace information is updated in Business Central, and package labels are sent to the designated label printer.
