Send to Amazon highlights

Once you save those details in a template, you will not have to re-enter box content information for each shipment, saving you time during replenishment.
• Pack single and mixed SKU boxes before creating shipments for optimal placement and update quantity as you pack to account for any discrepancies before confirming your shipment destinations
