Latest Updates for a Smoother & More Efficient Shipping Experience

Latest Updates for a Smoother & More Efficient Shipping Experience

We are pleased to announce updates to our WareIQ Panel that will simplify the shipping experience and make it more efficient. Here are the key updates. Simplified Courier Management Our clients now have the option to activate and deactivate courier accounts from their panel itself. By activating a specific courier, users can manage shipping using that courier. Similarly, deactivating a courier will disable any shipping options configured using this courier on the WareIQ panel. This update makes courier activation and deactivation much more seamless and easier to manage. View Courier Serviceability with Shipping Charges Easily For Single Orders Users can now view courier options along with shipping charge details, providing better visibility when selecting a courier for their orders. For Bulk Orders When selecting multiple orders, serviceability by couriers and respective shipping charges will be displayed. If some orders are unserviceable by a courier, users can process the servicable orders first and then process unserviceable orders with alternative courier options later, without the hassle of reselecting orders. Ship Directly Based on Shipment Weights Configured Users can now directly specify the dead weight and dimensions of a parcel to ship a product without having to manage it against the shipment. This new update expedites the shipping allocation process by allowing direct shipment without specifying product weights. We believe that these updates will enhance the overall experience of our users and help them manage your shipments more effectively and easily.

WareIQ Wallet Update: New ‘Hold’ Feature

Introducing the New Hold Feature to WareIQ Wallet We are excited to announce a new update to our WareIQ Wallet that will be effective from Monday, March 6, 2023.

This hold amount will be used to settle the shipping charges when the order is delivered, instead of using the amount from the main wallet.Refund for Cancelled Orders: If an order is cancelled after reaching the 'Ready to Ship' status, the hold wallet amount will be refunded back to the main wallet.Hold Amount Calculation: The hold amount will be calculated based on the product dimensions and shipping zone mentioned in the order, ensuring accurate charges are applied.Additional Charges for RTO Orders: In case of Return to Origin (RTO) orders, when the order status changes to 'RTO', additional return charges will be updated against the original hold amount.Shipping Charges Updates: Any shipping charges updates arising from weight disputes after order delivery will be adjusted in the main wallet as incremental charges when confirmed later. Please note that the hold wallet charges will now be visible along with the primary wallet charges in the passbook. We believe that these updates will enhance the transparency and efficiency of our wallet functionality, providing a seamless experience for our customers.
