Messaging & Tracking

COMPLETE COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORM

ShipLink keeps customers aware of critical shipment information

Communication remains essential to customer satisfaction. With fulfillment this includes keeping customers informed when orders shipped, what goods were included and when to expect delivery. This same information also keeps sales, customer service and drop-shipping partners current on order status.
