Warehouse assignment

Pre-creation of shipments 308 views

Introduction

The Cloud App allows the management of multiple warehouses, located in different geographical areas (e.g. one in Italy and one abroad), through the dedicated Warehouses section .

Within this section, the user can define order assignment rules based on the geographic origin of the customer or the order itself.

Operational example;

  • All orders addressed to Italian and foreign customers can be configured to depart from the Italian warehouse .
  • Orders received from France can be automatically assigned to the French warehouse for fulfillment, according to the settings specified.

This configuration allows you to optimize logistics and reduce shipping times, ensuring localized and efficient order management.
