SCOUT TopShelf is cloud-based inventory management software. It empowers shippers to connect data across multiple marketplaces and shopping carts. The integration with ShippingEasy is highly flexible, allowing your new orders to originate in either SCOUT topShelf or ShippingEasy. Once orders are shipped, the shipment information will update back to your SCOUT topShelf account.

Depending on your workflow, you can opt to enter your new orders into SCOUT topShelf or ShippingEasy. However, you will need to choose just one of these options when you integrate your accounts:

Standard Integration:

In this version of the integration, orders originate in SCOUT topShelf and are pushed up to ShippingEasy for Shipment.

Pick and Pack Integration:

In this version of the integration, orders originate in ShippingEasy and are pushed down to SCOUT topShelf for pick and pack.
