Batch Shipping
Batch shipping is used when a group of orders can move through label generation with the same operational assumptions.
Best use cases
- Same carrier family and service level
- Similar package profile
- Orders already cleared through review
- High-volume release waves
Safe batch process
- Start with a tightly filtered queue
- Validate a small sample before running the batch
- Generate labels and monitor failures separately
- Reconcile shipment count against the source queue
Avoid batching when
- Orders need individual packaging decisions
- Inventory allocation is still changing
- Carrier service exceptions are common
- Customer-specific notes require manual review
