GEL Courier Integration with NetSuite
One of our British clients is a leading luxury furniture designer. They design and create luxury outdoor furniture. Their designs incorporate the colors of the natural world. They also invite people to gather outdoors at any time of the day.
The client works with internal and external designers. Each designer has their own unique vision and background, empowering them to develop inspirational pieces.
Requirement
The British client wanted a corresponding shipment in GEL for each Item Fulfillment (IF) in NetSuite. On this platform, the IF status changes from PICKED to PACKED creates a shipment. When the system packs an IF in NetSuite, it sends the details to GEL.
So, our client required us to create a shipment with GEL.
Solution
One first picks the IF’s status to create the shipment. Packing it triggers a user script. We proposed sending the IF’s details to GEL using a URL.
As a response, GEL will return the encoded PDF data for label printing. We will store the label as a file in NetSuite in a custom field. When we make a request to GEL, we will receive a response in the form of a “shipping label,” which is a type of PDF.
The system keeps the shipping label in the file cabinet and creates a folder to store it. We have a subtab called GEL Integration. It has three custom fields.
One stores the request sent to GEL and the response from GEL. Then a hyperlink field will store the link of shipping label PDF from file cabinet.
Benefit
Clients can integrate an item fulfillment (IF) detail for a shipment in GEL. Otherwise, when they manually create an IF, they have to manually add details in GEL. Now they can do it automatically.
Risk/Challenges
It was difficult understanding the response as it was in German. Even values are not able to get even with the translator. This was challenging.
Results
Our client was able to implement Item Fulfillment (IF) details of the shipment in GEL.
