Cegid + ShippyPro: practical guide to omnichannel commerce

Written by ShippyPro Team | Dec 4, 2025 1:40:40 PM

When the retail network, the warehouse and the ecommerce don’t speak the same language, the shopping experience breaks apart: orders to realign, delayed notifications, slow returns. The integration between Cegid and ShippyPro is designed to remove these friction points, bringing orders, shipments and post-purchase workflows under one single orchestration layer.

The “Cegid + ShippyPro” product page highlights a clear end-to-end flow: from order to delivery, all the way to returns, with continuous synchronisation and configurable automations. In this article, we turn these features into an operational roadmap tailored for retail and operations teams.

SUMMARY ✨
How does the Cegid–ShippyPro integration work? A single orchestration layer for retail and ecommerce, optional modules (Checkout, Optimizer, Invoice Analysis, Returns) and KPIs to measure impact on SLAs, costs and CX.

In this article, we break down all the advantages of the tech integration and how to use it at its full potential.

 

Omnichannel isn’t a label: it’s the ability to move information and goods at the same pace, from POS to carrier. Without reliable integration, every exception slows down operations and customer care. With Cegid and ShippyPro, workflows become seamless: orders synchronised, labels and notifications rule-based, tracking always up to date.

For retail brands, the decisive piece is ship-from-store. When each store can ship as a micro-hub, delivery times drop and product availability increases. The integration makes this sustainable: aligned inventories, carrier assignment rules and consistent tracking for customers.

The benefits aren’t theoretical; they translate into concrete operational gains:

  • up to −30% time spent on logistics operations,
  • −80% costs to integrate new services and carriers,
  • around 7,000 hours saved per year thanks to workflow automation.

These results show where to set your priorities: reduce repetitive manual tasks and standardise cross-channel processes.

Operational framework: from order to return without friction

1) Align orders, inventory and tracking across stores and ecommerce

A single orchestration layer prevents discrepancies: the same order is visible in both Cegid and ShippyPro, with aligned statuses and real-time tracking. This reduces exception-handling time and allows teams to intervene quickly on delays or at-risk deliveries. Synchronisation is the foundation for any reliable automation.

2) Automate shipping decisions with no-code rules

From label creation to carrier assignment, rules make the difference during peaks and at scale. With ShippyPro, you can set conditions based on weight, order value, destination, promised SLA, and trigger proactive notifications. Fewer clicks, fewer errors, greater cross-channel consistency.

3) Enable ship-from-store in a controlled way

Allowing stores to ship means distributing capacity and reducing distances and delivery times. The Cegid–ShippyPro integration coordinates stores and warehouses, balancing workload and availability. Start with a pilot cluster, define KPIs (lead time, first-attempt rate) and scale by geography.

4) Monitor SLAs and exceptions to optimise cost/service

Multi-carrier management works only if you measure it. With modules like Optimizer, you compare carrier performance and select the best option for each route or period, while Invoice Analysis detects mistakes and additional charges. It’s the fastest way to turn tracking data into operational decisions.

5) Standardise post-purchase with a returns portal

A smooth returns experience reduces costs and repetitive support contacts. With Returns, you manage approvals, QR/paperless labels and exchanges, maintaining consistency across marketplaces and direct channels. The result is a shorter order lifecycle and a predictable customer experience.

Modules that extend Cegid with ShippyPro

Beyond basic synchronisation, several modules accelerate omnichannel maturity. At checkout, you can display real-time rates and ETAs and offer PUDO options; in shipping, no-code rules scale your operations; for cost control, dashboards and invoice checks complete the governance loop.

  • Checkout: real-time rates and ETAs, home delivery and pick-up points (PUDO) to increase conversion.
  • Address Validation: live correction based on carrier rules, fewer failed deliveries.
  • Workflow Automation: rules for carrier assignment, label printing, order tagging and notifications.
  • Optimizer: service comparison, SLA and exception monitoring to reduce spend.
  • Invoice Analysis: automatic checks to detect errors and extra charges.
  • Returns: branded portal, QR/paperless flows, exchange and approval management.

Conclusions: three moves to unlock value immediately

  1. Align orders, tracking and inventory between Cegid and ShippyPro and define a clear baseline (lead time, % on-time deliveries, contacts per shipment).
  2. Implement no-code rules for carriers, labels and notifications, starting with high-volume use cases.
  3. Activate ship-from-store in areas with high order density and measure the impact on time and cost.

With these steps, the benefits showcased on the product page — reduced operational time, lower integration costs, thousands of hours saved — become repeatable results, supported by solid data governance and continuous monitoring.
