I’m exploring ERPNext as an ERP solution for my courier and cargo company and would like to know if there is an existing module or custom app for parcel management.
Specifically, I’m looking for features like:
• Package tracking with status updates
• Delivery scheduling and coordination
• Integration with carriers or third-party logistics providers
• Route optimization
• Customer notifications (email/SMS/WhatsApp)
• Support for different delivery types (same-day, express, standard)
Does ERPNext have built-in capabilities for this, or has anyone developed a custom app for parcel and logistics management? If not, what would be the best approach to customize ERPNext for this use case?
I’m unaware what may exist for logistics or freight but you may want to start with ERPNext-Shipping
I’ve been working on integrating it with EasyPost.com. If you can find shippers with an API, integrator with ERPNext-shipping might offer a good option.
ERPNext does not have any built-in features for parcel management, tracking, or anything similar.
There is an app called ERPNext Shipping, but its main purpose is to generate shipping labels for outgoing packages, not to track incoming parcels.
From what I understand, you need a solution to track parcels that you expect to receive from your customers.
I have developed a solution that integrates with EasyPost and 17Track APIs, allowing parcel management and integration with ERPNext invoicing. However, it is not fully completed yet and requires additional time and technical work to finalize some avdvances details, such as:
• Dynamic carrier handling
• Configuration for additional carriers in the APIs
• Improved fields and filters
• Purchase flow (when purchasing on behalf of a customer)
• list for parcel senders(with warnings)
• Advanced search for lost packages
• Enhanced search filters and tracking patterns
If you can provide more details about your specific needs, we can check if my solution aligns with what you’re looking for
