Turn your warehouse into a fast, accurate growth engine
-------------------------------------------------------
ShipStation helps you ship more in less time, with fewer mistakes. Every shift runs smoother when your team has clear workflows. With ShipStation, you can build a fulfilment operation that scales with your business goals.
 ### Speed up pick, pack, and ship
With all orders in one view, your team can batch tasks and eliminate bottlenecks, so shipments keep moving without delays. Mobile picking and packing tools help you handle volume spikes without chaos, so you can hit carrier cut-off times even on your busiest days.
 ### Catch mistakes before they happen
Swap manual checks for guided workflows that help prevent mistakes. Barcode scanning confirms the correct item and quantity before printing labels. Customisable packing slips give staff everything they need to verify each box. The result is fewer mis-ships, fewer returns, and fewer “where is my order?” inquiries.
 ### Scale operations without extra headcount
Keep selling channels, inventory, and warehouse management in one platform. Employees no longer need to jump between multiple tools with cloud-based software. Adding users, workstations, or new locations is simple. ShipStation lets you extend your operational reach without building a bigger fulfilment team.
Powerful warehouse management features to keep orders moving
------------------------------------------------------------
From pick lists to packing slips, ShipStation provides tools that match your warehouse workflow. Combine these features to create warehouse management systems (WMS) your team can rely on today—and scale with tomorrow.
### Pick lists customised for your warehouse
Turn chaotic picking into a repeatable workflow. ShipStation lets you create pick lists that mirror your warehouse layout, so your staff moves efficiently. Group items by order, SKU, or location, then print lists or access them on mobile devices. Fewer trips back and forth mean faster fulfilment and fewer missed items, even during peak season. Use filters to prioritise express orders, bundle similar SKUs, or assign batches to specific team members.
### Mobile picking boosts efficiency
Walk the floor with every order in your pocket. Mobile picking keeps your people focused on moving cartons forward instead of managing paperwork. See assigned batches, mark lines as picked, and confirm quantities on the spot. No need to run back to a central workstation to print updates. Spot issues early, like low stock or substitutions, and avoid costly mis-ships and repacks.
### Barcode scanning protects accuracy
Barcode scanning replaces error-prone manual checks. In ShipStation, your staff can scan barcodes on products, packing slips, or order numbers to instantly pull up the correct shipment. As items are picked, each scan confirms that the SKU, quantity, and order all match. You can set rules so a label only prints once every item is verified. Picking errors decrease, duplicate shipments vanish, and new team members have a clear, guided process.
### Packing slips that work smarter
Turn every packing slip into a roadmap for your team and an unboxing guide for your customer. Customise templates with branding and the exact fields your staff need right in ShipStation. Add warehouse locations so pickers know where to go, and include notes, return instructions, or handling messages to reduce support tickets. Clear line items and counts let packers verify boxes at a glance, ensuring accurate deliveries the first time.
### Warehouse Management System integration
ShipStation connects seamlessly with your warehouse management system (WMS) so you can run fulfilment the way that fits your operation. Use a Shipping-focused workflow if you want your WMS to handle picking and then send ready-to-ship orders to ShipStation for labels and tracking. Or choose a Pick-Pack workflow. Orders flow from selling channels into ShipStation, then sync into your WMS for picking. Your WMS updates pick and pack status, respects warehouse assignments, and keeps shipment details in sync.
### Inventory warehouses adapt as you grow
Your network of locations will evolve as your business grows. ShipStation makes it simple to keep your Inventory Warehouses aligned every step of the way. Link each warehouse to a Ship From Location so orders route to the right site automatically. When you add a new facility, change 3PL partners, or consolidate inventory, you can update or swap these links in just a few clicks. This keeps inventory assignments clean, prevents orders from shipping out of the wrong location, and ensures your fulfilment footprint stays accurate. No more juggling spreadsheets.
### Warehouse data where staff need it most
Help staff find the right bin on the first try. ShipStation lets you display warehouse location data from your selling channels or product records directly on packing slips. Location codes appear next to SKUs so pickers know exactly where to go. You can also print internal inventory locations, giving teams a consistent way to follow directions across buildings. Less wandering leads to more efficient pick, pack, and ship workflows every single day
