WooCommerce TMS integration features

Developer: Websystems.

In our experience, the best shipping setup for most eCommerce businesses is integrating their WooCommerce store with their ERP software, and then integrating the ERP with a multi-carrier shipping software.

This plugin is not meant for:

companies whose only sales channel is their WooCommerce store, and
are shipping small quantities (less than a pallet), and
don't want to negotiate their own prices due to their company size, or
are using only a few large carriers.

If these apply to your business, we recommend checking out other WooCommerce shipping plugins from the WooCommerce Extensions Store.

However, if you need to:

ship pallets or larger packages,
sell from multiple channels like a physical store in addition to your WooCommerce store,
use niche, smaller or just many different carriers, or
want to use your personally negotiated prices,

we recommend you keep reading.

Display available shipping options

After your customer has filled their shopping cart and are ready to order, most online merchants want to offer them a variety of shipping options.

Depending on the store and the products, the options can include parcel lockers, pickup points, home delivery by courier or pallet/freight transport for larger goods.

Option 1: carrier shipping plugins

You can install many different shipping modules by different carriers from the WooCommerce store, but you might run into a few problems with this approach:

You can't ship pallets or large quantities which the nature of your goods might require.
Some of your carriers don't have their own WooCommerce shipping plugin.
You're using multiple different shipping plugins so the customer experience is different and your data is not together in one place.

Option 2: 4PL shipping plugins

To solve these problems, you might have tried using some type of a multiple-carrier shipping module by a 4PL provider.

They normally work well but can sometimes create other issues for you:

Most likely, you still can't ship pallets or large quantities.
You'll be forced to use their shipping rates, and not your own negotiated rates.
Note: this might actually save some money for small companies without lots of negotiation leverage. However, larger companies usually want to negotiate their own rates.
Your shipping options will still be limited by the carriers the 4PL provider cooperates with.

Option 3: Cargoson WooCommerce shipping plugin

The Cargoson multi-carrier shipping plugin for WooCommerce will give you the best of both worlds:

Ship goods of any size: packages, pallets, part loads, FTLs. Heck, you can even display ocean container shipping options in your store if you wish!
You and only you will be the one selecting the carriers you want to use.
With Cargoson, you can even display shipping options from niche carriers in your WooCommerce store.
Display a list of parcel lockers, pickup points or other service options from different carriers.
The shipping rates are your own.
The contracts and other agreements with your carriers are your own — Cargoson is just a useful tool, not a middleman.
All shipment data will be centralized in your transport management software.
The customer experience will be the same, regardless of which carrier is used.

Woocommerce Cargoson Calculate Shipping Form

Transport orders

After a customer places an order in your WooCommerce store and selects a shipping option, the shipment will be created in Cargoson automatically.

Some merchants choose to offer their customers free delivery without displaying a choice of shipping options. This is fine too — you can let your logistician make the decision or automate the transport option selection process.

Whichever process you choose, the shipment will end up in Cargoson. After confirming the shipments (and fixing some issues with incorrect data, if needed), you can print the shipping labels, auto-notify the customer and provide tracking using Cargoson.

Packaging labels

After a customer has placed an order, the package labels can be printed by the administrator while on the WooCommerce order or in Cargoson.

Notifications

Your customer will be notified automatically about shipments, and provided with information about tracking statuses, updated ETAs, delays, truck licence plate numbers, cancellations etc.

Tracking

The shipment's tracking link will be sent to your customer automatically. It will also be accessible on the WooCommerce order.

FAQ

We offer ongoing integration support and regular updates, ensuring that your WooCommerce and Hart Logistics systems are always synced and up-to-date. APIs often undergo changes and updates, and it's our job to ensure that these changes don't disrupt your workflow. This means you can always benefit from the latest features and improvements from both WooCommerce and Hart Logistics.

The Hart Logistics and WooCommerce integration provides a comprehensive set of capabilities, including Display available shipping options, Transport orders, Packaging labels, Notifications, Tracking. All of these data exchanges with Hart Logistics are seamlessly integrated directly into your WooCommerce system, enhancing the overall functionality and convenience.

The integrations with carriers, just like the Hart Logistics integration, are always developed and maintained in-house by our dedicated Cargoson team; these integrations are our utmost priority. For the connection between Cargoson and stores like WooCommerce, we typically rely on specialized third-party providers.

This strategy allows us to tap into the deep knowledge and expertise of those who specialize in specific store systems. While we are the developers of Cargoson and naturally handle all carrier API integrations in-house, we recognize that we can't be specialists in every ERP platform out there.

In addition, many of these store integrations are built in close cooperation with our existing customers. This ensures that they are not only thoroughly tested, but also designed to meet the practical requirements of real businesses in their day-to-day operations. This way, we guarantee robust, reliable, and efficient integrations for you to use.

Absolutely! Cargoson's architecture is built to be carrier-agnostic, meaning that it's capable of integrating with a wide range of carriers, not just Hart Logistics. As long as the carrier has an API we can work with (or EDI, or even just email), you can incorporate their services into your WooCommerce system through our platform. Additionally, we're constantly expanding our roster of carrier integrations based on customer demand and market trends, so you'll always have a rich selection of carriers to choose from.

Integrating WooCommerce with Hart Logistics using Cargoson is a straightforward process. Simply reach out to us at support@cargoson.com. Our team will walk you through the process, offer a demo if needed, and assist you with the installation of the plugin into WooCommerce. We'll also guide you on how to request and input the Hart Logistics API keys into Cargoson.

Rest assured, data security is our top priority at Cargoson. Your Hart Logistics API keys are securely encrypted in the Cargoson database. However, it's important to note that as your data originates from WooCommerce and then is sent to Hart Logistics, we are not in full control over how these systems handle your data. Nevertheless, both WooCommerce and Hart Logistics are trusted platforms with robust security measures in place.

Absolutely, the WooCommerce-Hart Logistics integration supports all types of shipments: domestic, international, import, export, and cross-trade. The specific services depend on your chosen carrier(s), but we facilitate all freight modes: road, air, sea, rail, and all shipping modes: parcels, LTL and FTL freight shipping, and even parcel lockers.

Hart Logistics offers the following services: Road.

Yes, we're open to discussing custom feature requests. Each case is unique, so we encourage you to reach out to us at support@cargoson.com. We might already have a solution for either the WooCommerce or the Hart Logistics side that might cover your need. If not, and the feature would be beneficial for other businesses as well, it could potentially be added free of charge. However, for features specific to your business, we can agree on a development cost.

Integrating Hart Logistics directly into WooCommerce through Cargoson simplifies your operations significantly. You can now manage transport orders directly inside WooCommerce, removing the need to log into various carrier systems including Hart Logistics. Furthermore, it eliminates the necessity to access Cargoson for daily operations, providing a unified and simplified process. While some unique features like analytics or carrier chat may still require logging in to Cargoson, the integration generally minimizes daily tasks, enhances productivity, and reduces potential for errors.
