ShippingEasy’s integration with Amazon’s Alexa will liberate shippers from their shipping stations.
Using the Alexa device or downloading the Alexa app on their smartphone, e-commerce sellers can now accomplish hands-free shipping tasks with essential commands, including:
Managing orders
Shipping orders
Printing labels, packing slips, and picklists
Purchasing postage
Checking postage balances
Using voice commands, online sellers can also ask Alexa a variety of shipping-related questions, allowing them to immediately and effortlessly track and manage orders and shipments. In addition to shipping and fulfillment related commands, examples of questions include:
How many orders do I have?
How many orders did I ship last week?
What is my oldest order?
What is my newest order?
What is the rate quote?
What is the destination?
Who is the carrier?
What is the carrier service?
What type of packaging?
“Our brand promise is to make shipping easy for e-commerce sellers of all sizes, from single-channel stores to multi-store, multi-warehouse, international operations,” said Katie May, ShippingEasy’s CEO. “Leveraging voice capabilities to emancipate the shipper from the shipping station and keyboard is a perfect example of our commitment to that promise. Enabling company owners to ask business performance-related questions from their smartphone wherever they are empowers them, and allows them to do what they do best – run a successful business. This first-of-its-kind integration in the e-commerce shipping industry truly allows hands-free shipping, and will change the way online businesses operate.” |
