Royal Mail Dispatch Manager Online

[JFro]

Actinic already integrated with Royal Mail Postcode Checker, but are there any plans to integrate with Dispatch Manager Online?

From what I have read about it, you can import the addresses of orders pending dispatch from a csv file, add in the weights, and print the labels for the parcels ready for dispatch. The parcels can then be tracked until delivery is made.

You can read about it here https://www.royalmail.com/portal/sme...iaId=121600769

I'm not sure that we will use it ourselves, but it's certainly something we may consider given that we have been quoted over a 100% price increase from our carrier company!

Would anyone else consider using this service? Would there be a demand for the Actinic developers to consider integration (if it's possible!)?

if Actinic aren't planning to integrate it (or even if they are!) you can export a suitable file using One Stop Order Processing for Actinic!

At present there isn't a pre-set DMO view for exporting orders but it is something that you can set up yourself.

I'm using Despatch Bay which has an integration API but dont know how to code it in. I would like to see a list of carrier options like the list of payment suppliers. The postcode lookup will then be part of the service as wel as emails keeping the customer up to date with the order progress.

I'll look into the one-stop idea - still, I agree with Kipper
