We develop solutions that communicate directly with the couriers&#8217; web services.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Automatic voucher creation at the click of a button<\/h3>\n<p>With the right configuration, the voucher is issued automatically as soon as the order reaches the \u201cProcessing\u201d status. The system \u201creads\u201d the weight and the shipping zone and chooses the best option.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Real-time tracking updates<\/h3>\n<p>The customer automatically receives the tracking link on Viber or by email, without you doing anything. This cuts the calls to your customer service by 40%.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Bulk label printing (bulk actions)<\/h3>\n<p>Imagine printing 100 courier labels in 30 seconds, ready to stick on the parcels.<\/p>\n<h2>How BigDrop transforms the operation of your online store<\/h2>\n<p>Our approach focuses on <b>custom development<\/b>.
