In the fast-paced world of e-commerce fulfillment, data silos between Quality Control (QC) and Shipping departments can lead to delays, errors, and customer dissatisfaction. OrientDig Spreadsheet provides a powerful, integrated solution to this common operational challenge.

3. Parcel Tracking Information

Connect with carrier APIs or upload manifests to pull in Tracking Numbers, Shipping Dates, Carrier Names, and Real-time Delivery Status.
