Location Service integration instructions

• Posti Dashboard is a real-time browser-based Item Tracking service. It can be used to track not only individual parcels but also batches of parcels.

• You can track your deliveries in real time with the criteria that suit you and, thus, offer faster and more efficient customer service for the shipment inquiries of your customers.

• Access the service via Posti Service Portal

• The estimated arrival date of parcels is displayed in Posti’s mobile application. The same information can be displayed in the shopping cart of your online store or in your mobile application by integrating the parcel’s estimated date of arrival with your company’s system.

• For more information on integration, see the programmer’s manual.

• The interface descriptions can be found here.

The browser application is designed for small order quantities and can be ordered in the Posti Service Portal.

When your order quantities are large, we recommend system integration. The integration is usually made from the customer’s ERP system.

System integration includes normal data flows related to warehouse use:

• Reference data

• Purchase order and acknowledgement

• Sales order and acknowledgement

• Return order and acknowledgement

• Changes in inventory
