Losing deals to integration
The prospect runs SAP, Shopify or a retailer EDI mandate — and the 3PL that can't connect doesn't get shortlisted.
Connects to whatever your clients run
Winning a new 3PL client usually hinges on one question: “can you talk to our system?” With Pickpoint the answer is yes — REST API, EDI, ecommerce platforms, flat files in their format, and reliable event feeds back the other way.
Sound familiar?
Swivel-chair data entry
Orders arrive in one system and get retyped into another. It's slow, error-prone, and it doesn't scale past a handful of clients.
Integrations that fail silently
A feed breaks on Friday night, and you find out Monday from an angry client. Trust takes months to rebuild.
Built into the software, not bolted on
APIs for modern systems
Clean, authenticated interfaces for real-time integration.
- REST API (JWT-secured) for order import and update, item import, ASN, kit builds and reporting
- SOAP web service with published schemas for legacy enterprise systems
- API tokens and per-client credentials, managed centrally
EDI & retailer compliance
Speak the language of enterprises and big-box retail.
- ANSI X12 warehouse message set: 940, 945, 856, 852, 861, 867, 888, 947 and functional acknowledgements
- Retailer EDI and GS1/SSCC labelling for major Australian retailers including Coles, Woolworths and Big W
- SAP-style ERP message sets and partner-specific EDI dialects already in production
- EDIFACT support including carrier manifest messages
Files in their format
Not every client has an API — Pickpoint meets them where they are.
- Order, item, ASN and stock imports from XML, JSON, CSV and Excel
- Per-client import formats — their columns, their codes, their quirks
- Ecommerce connectivity including Magento order and inventory sync
- Import cut-off schedules, import status reporting and per-file error handling
Reliable outbound feeds
Your clients' systems stay in sync — automatically.
- Event feeds for inventory advice, receive advice, shipment advice and order milestones
- Delivered by HTTP, file drop or email — queued, retried and logged
- Export monitoring with stuck-queue detection and automated alerts, so failures surface in minutes, not Mondays
- Full export log with per-type totals and error detail
Warehouse automation
Integration doesn't stop at software.
- Goods-to-person storage (Effimat/LOGIA) called directly from pick workflows
- Conveyor and sortation system integration, including auto carton induction
- Dedicated print service for high-volume, multi-site label printing
What this means for your warehouse
Say yes in the sales meeting
API, EDI, files or ecommerce — whatever the prospect runs, onboarding is configuration, not a development project.
Zero rekeying
Orders flow in and advices flow out automatically, so adding your next ten clients doesn't mean adding data-entry staff.
Failures you hear about first
Queued delivery, retries and stuck-feed alerts mean you fix issues before your client notices them.
Integrations & API: common questions
Does Pickpoint have an API?
Yes. Pickpoint provides a JWT-secured REST API covering orders, items, ASNs, kit builds and reporting, plus SOAP web services with published schemas for legacy enterprise systems.
Does Pickpoint support EDI?
Yes. Pickpoint supports the ANSI X12 warehouse message set (940, 945, 856, 852, 861, 867, 888, 947), EDIFACT, and retailer EDI with GS1/SSCC labelling for major Australian retailers.
What if a client can only send spreadsheets?
That works too. Pickpoint imports orders, items, ASNs and stock from XML, JSON, CSV and Excel files in each client's own format, with import cut-off schedules and per-file error reporting.
How do I know an integration is still working?
Outbound feeds are queued, retried and monitored, with stuck-queue detection and automated alerts — so a broken feed is flagged to the support team in minutes, not discovered by your client days later.
