iabol Sync
In order to prepare a shipment, you need to know where it’s coming from and where it’s going to. With international shipments there is even more involved.
For casual shippers, entering all the required information is pretty easy, however, for businesses shipping hundreds or even thousands of shipments a day, time is money and integration is crucial. iabol offers several methods of integration.
For systems requiring a local integration, iabol included iabol sync, a free locally installed Windows® application. For integration with web based systems, ABOL is developing iabol sync portal and last but not least for developers, iabol offers the data api as part of the iabol api (see developer section).
