Implementation gets a Shiphero warehouse instance from configured to operational: connecting your sales channels, setting up warehouse locations and bin structures, provisioning the mobile scanning app for pickers, and validating pick, pack, and ship workflows before your first live order runs through the system.
Engagements begin with a discovery of your warehouse layout, SKU catalog, and connected sales channels, since Shiphero's bin and location structure has to match your physical floor before picking logic makes sense. We build the warehouse map inside Shiphero first, then layer channel connections (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, and others), then picking and packing rules, and only then move to a pilot run with a small batch of real orders.
Who this is for: teams migrating from a legacy WMS or from manual, spreadsheet-driven fulfillment, and 3PL operators standing up Shiphero to manage multiple clients' inventory in separate, properly isolated instances. This service also fits brands adding a second or third warehouse and needing multi-location inventory logic set up correctly from day one.
Deliverables include a validated bin and location structure matching your physical warehouse, connected sales channels with tested order sync, configured picking and packing rules, mobile scanning app provisioning and picker training materials, and a pilot run of real orders before full cutover. For 3PLs, this also includes client account isolation and billing rule configuration.
How Shiphero shapes delivery: the platform requires an accurate bin and SKU structure before picking automation works reliably, so we do not skip that groundwork to hit a faster go-live date. A rushed warehouse map is the most common cause of pick errors we see in Shiphero rollouts that skipped this step.
