Make Drop-Shipping More Efficient For Both The Merchant and the Shipper
With drop-shipping, when the end customer places an online order with a merchant, the goods are actually shipped from another company, often a manufacturer or wholesaler. Nexternal comes with a drop-shipping module to automate the shipping notification process for both the retailer and the drop-ship vendor—creating significant efficiencies for both parties.
Through your Nexternal order management system (OMS), you can define a vendor as being a drop-ship vendor. When you activate Nexternal’s drop-shipping functionality, the drop-ship vendor automatically receives an email notifying them of the products that need to be shipped, along with the relevant Ship-To address.
Automate Vendor Communications
With Nexternal’s drop-shipping feature, you won’t need to manually notify drop-ship vendors of orders to be processed. Our automated updates offer a win-win scenario for merchants and vendors.
