## Features

### All your courier accounts in one place
Connect Australia Post, StarTrack, CouriersPlease and Allied Express accounts and ship with each from the same workflow.

### Automatic labels
Labels are created from the order’s address, weight and dimensions, ready to print in batches.

### Manifests
Close out the day’s shipments per courier with a manifest, without re-keying consignments.

### Tracking sent back automatically
As soon as a shipment is labelled, tracking numbers go back to the customer and to the marketplace the order came from.

### Shipment status board
See every parcel move from labelled to manifested to tracking sent, so nothing is missed at cut-off.

### Courier claims
Lodge and follow up lost or damaged parcel claims next to the shipment they belong to.
