Ready to grow in 2026? In just 5 minutes, you can check whether your picking and packing, order and return processes, and automations are running efficiently - so you can manage more orders without compromising quality.
Growth is exciting - but it also brings complexity. More orders, specialized products, higher volumes, and additional sales channels can quickly lead to picking errors, delays, and increased costs.
To help you assess where you stand, we’ve created a checklist that gives you a clear picture in just 5 minutes of whether your business is ready to scale in 2026.
Can you manage increased order volume efficiently?
When order volumes grow, clarity and structure become essential.
Gain clarity with filtering
With Shipmondo, you can filter and save views across Orders, Ordered Shipments, and Return Shipments, so you always see exactly what you need.
This allows you to group all shipments for a specific country, carrier, or status into separate views that update automatically as new orders come in.
Filtering also lets you tailor workflows with your orders in the warehouse. Maybe you want to start with click & collect orders that must be picked up within a few hours, or heavy orders requiring special handling. You can even save a view as your preferred default, so it opens first when you access your overview.
Automate picking and packing
Clarity is only half the battle. To maintain growth while keeping errors low, picking and packing processes can be automated.
You can use our digital pick paths, where items are shown with images, and order check ensure that employees pick the right products. The digital pick path shows an optimized path through the warehouse, can start and finish automatically, and even print labels and packing slips with no extra clicks.
Alternatively, you can use pick path lists or pick lists if you prefer paper but still want optimized paths and efficient management.
The best part is, that all orders are collected in one place, no matter how many sales channels or webshops you work with. You can assign orders to specific users, and set up multiple packing stations so the entire process runs smoothly and scalably.
When work is structured this way, you can handle more orders faster and with fewer mistakes.
Are your deliveries stable and reliable?
Reliable deliveries aren’t just about sending goods on time - they’re also about having control, visibility, and automations that minimize errors and ensure a great customer experience.
Set up default instructions for pickup and delivery
With Shipmondo, you can set up default instructions for both pickup and delivery, so carriers always know exactly when and how shipments should be handled.
You can define specific days, times, or special instructions, and templates can target individual carriers or apply generally. For example, an order booked on Tuesday can automatically be scheduled for pickup on Wednesday or Friday, depending on your cut-off, without manually updating the details.
If a fulfillment error occurs - maybe an item was picked incorrectly or is missing - you can quickly fix it directly in Shipmondo. You can adjust quantities, add correct items, or choose how to manage the fulfillment error - reshipment, return, refund, or another solution. This lets both you and the customer move on quickly while learning from mistakes.
Track shipments and Delivery Analytics
To understand patterns and optimize processes, Shipmondo Analytics gives you insights into delivery errors, success rates, and employee performance.
With Shipmondo Shipment Analytics and Fulfillment Analytics, you can see which items are frequently misdelivered, which employees perform best on picking piths, and how daily or monthly shipments are distributed across carriers, countries, and shipping products.
This provides a solid basis to improve workflows, adjust warehouse layouts, and make data-driven decisions that reduce errors and ensure customers always get reliable deliveries.
In short: default instructions, easy error fulfillment, and deep insights through analytics let you combine efficiency with reliability, so you can scale without sacrificing quality.
Do you have control over complex workflows?
Can you track both orders and returns to identify challenges and optimize processes? That requires insight, control, and automation to make order, shipment and return management more efficient.
Set up personalized messages
You can send Personalized Messages to customers via email or SMS based on various triggers - for example, when a package is created, ready for pickup, returned, or when an order is shipped or refunded.
Personalized messages can include the customer’s name, tracking number, Track&Trace links, order details, and even your own domain as the sender, creating a more personal and loyalty-building customer experience.
With Shipmondo Order Analytics and Return Portal Analytics, you gain insights into incoming, shipped, and collected orders, items per order, top-selling products, countries, and return patterns. This allows you to make data-driven decisions about inventory, picking, sales strategy, and return prevention.
Automate printing and customs processes
Are there processes that could be even more efficient and automated? Shipmondo offers automation on multiple levels. You can set up automatic printing of pick lists, packing labels, and packing slips across printers and locations, so orders are handled without manual effort.
With the Shipmondo Print Client, you can add multiple workstations, print in different formats, and ensure workflows run quickly and smoothly even at high order volumes.
For export shipments outside the EU, you can also enable automatic customs, where necessary information such as HS code, product description, country of origin, and value is automatically filled in on documents like commercial invoices, proforma invoices, and CN22/CN23 forms.
The feature also supports electronic customs, ensuring accuracy and reducing errors while speeding up the workflow. Overall, Shipmondo lets you automate complex processes, free up operational time, and create a scalable, reliable setup so you can focus on customers and growth.
