Automatic Input

Question: Can Quick Pallet Maker be used for plugging into a third-party application so it can import data from my order system and then export it into another system of mine?

Answer: We're working on it. We will create a version of Quick Pallet Maker without an interface that can be executed remotely, import instructions and produce automatically a shipment file, all in XML. The advantage of using XML is that first it is a easy to read format (either by software parsers or by the naked eye) and second that the files can easily be transformed into whichever format you need for your application and back. We will post the developer information as we finish this upgrade.

Hi Rod,

Currently, there is a way to paste data from a tab-delimited spreadsheet (e.g. MS Excel) or text file. For examples on how to do this, please see how it is done for box calculations on pallets and in containers. We have also posted a movie explaining the process.
