Print automation with weclappOS

Print shipping labels from weclapp via weclappOS

On scan, label, customs papers and dangerous goods document land on the right printer at the packing table, without a print dialog.

weclappOS is weclapp's free desktop client that picks up print jobs from the cloud and sends them to your local printers. Fulfillment 4 weclapp brings everything else that shipping needs into the same print path: carrier labels, customs papers and the ADR transport document. You do not build a second print infrastructure, and every document is also attached to the weclapp delivery.

Print shipping labels from weclapp via weclappOS

What gets printed on scan

The scan at the packing table is the trigger. As soon as the delivery is fully packed, the rest happens by itself. All modes in the scan workflow for weclapp.

01

Shipping label

The app fetches the label from the carrier, stores it as a document on the weclapp delivery and sends it as a print job to the weclappOS printer at your packing table. Tracking number and the status “Shipped” are then in weclapp.

02

Multi-parcel shipments

One label per parcel. Optionally, the label of the previous parcel is created as soon as you start the next one.

03

Turbo label

With batch picking, the labels for single-item orders are already prepared and are printed when the item is scanned at the packing station.

Three printers per packing table

Label, customs paper and dangerous goods document often need different devices. The choice is tied to the user account: whoever logs in at another packing table chooses their printers there. Multiple weclappOS instances, for example at two locations, appear as separate printers.

Label printer

For shipping labels, typically a thermal printer.

Customs and enclosure printer

For customs papers, plus invoice and delivery note as enclosures, typically an A4 laser printer.

Dangerous goods printer

For the ADR transport document.

Accompanying documents: customs, invoice, delivery note, ADR

Invoices or delivery notes at a status in weclapp are printed by weclapp itself via the weclappOS print configuration. How the two work together: What weclapp prints itself and what Fulfillment 4 weclapp adds.

Customs papers

For shipments outside the EU, the app also prints the carrier's customs document, optionally together with invoice and delivery note as customs enclosures. More: Printing customs documents

In triplicate where required

Invoice, delivery note and weclapp customs declaration come in triplicate for non-EU shipments. For the carrier's customs document, you use a country list to define where it goes in triplicate, for example to Switzerland.

Paperless customs

If you declare digitally, the customs documents are attached to the delivery but not printed. We set this up with you. More: Zoll-Automatisierung 4 weclapp

ADR transport document

Created at shipping from the dangerous goods data of your items and sent straight to the dangerous goods printer. More: Gefahrgut 4 weclapp

Reprints and disruptions

Reprint without rebooking

A click on the tracking number in the event list on the scan page opens “Reprint label”. The label already purchased is printed: no new tracking number, no second carrier label. If the document is missing on the delivery, the app fetches the same label from the carrier again.

When nothing comes out of the printer

Usually weclappOS isn't running or the printer was renamed. You'll find the steps in the checklist for weclappOS under “Read more”.

What works where

Printer selection

Three roles per user account, freely selectable from all printers of your weclappOS instances. There is no rule by carrier, country or warehouse; without a saved choice, the app takes the first printer in the list.

Label format

Labels come as a PDF, usually in 100×150 thermal format, for thermal and laser printers. With Österreichische Post, you choose between 100×150, 100×200, A4 and A5.

Invoice and delivery note

Via Fulfillment 4 weclapp as customs enclosures for non-EU shipments, with their own switches. All other documents are printed by weclapp via the weclappOS print configuration.

Trigger

Printing happens on scan at the packing table. A status change in weclapp alone does not create a carrier label.

Feedback

The app hands the print job to weclappOS once. weclappOS does not report back whether the paper actually came out of the printer; that is what the reprint is for.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need additional software for label printing?

Only weclappOS, weclapp's free desktop client. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux on a computer on the same network as your printers. Fulfillment 4 weclapp itself runs in the browser.

Does anyone at the packing table still have to click Print?

No. When the delivery is completed, the label goes straight to the chosen printer as a print job, without a print dialog.

Can I reprint a label without booking a new shipment?

Yes. In the event list on the scan page you reprint any label on your selected label printer. It stays the same shipment number; nothing new is created at the carrier.

Can customs papers and dangerous goods documents land on a different printer than the label?

Yes. Each packer chooses a label printer, a printer for customs and enclosures and one for dangerous goods. The choice is saved on the user account.

Does Fulfillment 4 weclapp also print invoices and delivery notes?

As a customs enclosure for shipments outside the EU, yes. For general document printing at a given status, you use weclapp's print configuration via weclappOS; both run through the same client.

Does a status change in weclapp automatically create a shipping label?

No. The label is created on scan at the packing table so that it matches the goods actually packed. On completion, the app sets the delivery to “Shipped”.
