Users can create and print shipping labels directly from the system, eliminating the need to switch between different carrier websites or use manual label-generation methods. The software supports batch label printing for high-volume shipments, making it suitable for e-commerce stores, fulfillment centers, and small to medium-sized enterprises that handle daily outbound packages.
