API Integration for Multi-Shipping Management System

SmartConsign shipping software is a platform the allows clients (Operaters) to connect their customers (Shippers) with Carriers (Yodel, DX, DHL, etc).

The connectors developed by Impact talk to a variety of ecommerce stores so that orders can be shipped using SmartConsign. The integration provides the booking of the shipping agent, publishing of tracking informtion back to the store, the ability to download shipping labels or have shipping labels sent back to the store.  The system can also handle cancellations.  Due to the level of integrations the customer can pick from a variety of couriers and services, to match delivery expectations.

The connectors are called via a webhook to collect the order and then post it to SmartConsign, with a scheduled job running the connector every 5 minutes to mop up any orders that might be missed by the webhook from ecommerce stores, due to traffic, internet issues, etc.

Technology Stack:

  • ASP.NET Core 3.1 / .NET 5
  • C#
  • REST API – HttpClient
  • SQL

Deployment is fully automated through Azure DevOps Pipelines, going via respositories and onto AWS services.

Currently SmartConsign has 25+ carriers and API developments to Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento 2 and BigCommerce, with new connectors being developed by Impact all the time.

Impact Technology worked very closely with us throughout the planning process of a new retail website, offering expert advice and opening our eyes to new technology and various digital marketing options.  Andy and Jo kept in regular contact throughout the development stage by providing updates, recommendations and generally being a cut above other web developers that we have worked with in the past. 

Since the launch of our website, Impact Technology have developed a range of bespoke features that have allowed us to control our catalogue of products more effectively, measure the behavior of visitors in more detail and enabling us to implement new features as and when they are released by the OScommerce community.  Impact Technology have been, and continue to be, an absolute joy to work with.
