## Description

This Connector connects your AI client directly to DPD's logistics network. Instead of jumping between tabs to manage shipments, you can let your agent handle the heavy lifting. You can ask your agent to set up a new shipment, grab a manifest, or check where a package is currently sitting. It's built for businesses that need to move goods quickly and want to automate the paperwork that usually slows things down. When you use this through the Vinkius catalog, you get a direct line to DPD's capabilities without needing to build your own custom integrations.

Think about the time spent on repetitive tasks like searching for the closest drop-off point for a customer or manually updating a tracking sheet. This tool takes those manual steps off your plate. You can query available products or check which countries are supported before you ever start a shipment. If a customer needs a change, you can cancel a shipment in seconds. It's about giving your AI agent the eyes and hands it needs to interact with DPD's infrastructure. By centralizing these actions, you turn a complex logistics chain into a series of simple commands. You get a reliable way to handle labels, manifests, and statuses without the usual friction of manual entry.

### Handling a customer cancellation
An e-commerce owner gets a cancellation. They ask the agent to cancel_shipment immediately so they don't pay for a wasted delivery.

A customer calls asking where their order is. The agent uses get_parcel_status to give a precise location update without looking it up manually.
