Perplexity

Automate your shipping workflow

Stop jumping between your browser and the carrier portal to book deliveries. You can use `create_shipment` to push order data straight from your conversation to the DPD network. Once the system processes the request, grab your documents using `get_labels`. It turns a manual task into a single prompt.

Real-time logistics inside Claude Desktop

Stop guessing where a parcel went when a customer asks. Use `get_parcel_status` to pull the latest tracking events directly into your workspace. If you need to move inventory between locations, `find_parcelshop` locates the nearest drop-off point. It gives you the exact coordinates you need to plan your route.

Manage shipments at scale

Handling high volumes requires a clear view of your outgoing items. Use `list_shipments` to pull a filtered view of your recent activity by date or status. If you made a mistake or a customer cancels an order, `cancel_shipment` lets you kill the label instantly. It keeps your records clean without logging into a separate dashboard.
