Blue Water Shipping Integration

About the integration

With the Blue Water Shipping Integration, you can send your orders directly to Third Party Logistics (TPL), and receive information about the delivery status of the orders.

When creating a purchase order in tracezilla, and afterwards confirming the order, which changes the status to Order, the information will be sent directly into the Blue Water Shipping system. When Blue Water Shipping receives your goods, they have the complete information of SKUs and quantity ordered, which streamlines inspection of the received goods. In addition, lot information will be loaded automatically into tracezilla, when the order is received. The traces and Best Before-date will be added to the purchased lots as well. Read more about Traces for traceability.

When Blue Water Shipping sends the order, the order status in tracezilla will automatically change to Dispatched.
