A smooth way to **manage packing and shipping tasks after production** is to create packing tasks automatically when orders pass quality control, use a checklist for packing and labeling, book the carrier and track the shipment until delivery.

In **Jestor**, finished orders flow into packing and shipping, so nothing waits in a corner of the factory.

## Why do finished orders wait too long?

Production finishes an order, but shipping is not informed. Products wait for packing materials, labels or a carrier.

Customers receive late deliveries even though production was on time.

Packing errors also cause returns.

## What problems does shipping management solve?

- Finished orders waiting to ship
- Packing errors and missing items
- Carrier booked too late
- No tracking after dispatch
- Customers not informed about shipment

## How do I manage packing and shipping in Jestor?

1. **Create packing tasks** automatically when quality releases an order.
2. **Use a packing checklist**: items, protection, documents, labels.
3. **Book the carrier** and record pickup date.
4. **Track shipment status** until delivery.
5. **Notify the customer** through **WhatsApp** when the order ships.

| Stage             | Owner         |
| ----------------- | ------------- |
| Ready for packing | Shipping team |
| Packed            | Shipping team |
| Carrier booked    | Logistics     |
| Shipped           | Logistics     |
| Delivered         | Logistics     |

## How do I avoid packing errors?

A checklist with the order items and quantities, completed before closing the box, catches most errors.

Photos of packed orders help resolve disputes about missing items.

## Why use Jestor for packing and shipping?

- **Automatic tasks**: packing starts when quality releases the order.
- **Checklists**: every order packed the same way.
- **Shipment tracking**: status visible to sales and customers.
- **WhatsApp notifications**: customers informed automatically.

## What else helps you manage packing and shipping tasks after production?

- Measuring time from production finish to dispatch shows whether shipping is a hidden bottleneck in the delivery promise.
- Packing materials should be checked regularly. A low-stock view for boxes, protection and labels prevents finished orders from waiting because packing supplies ran out.
- Restocking can follow the same purchase request flow used for other materials.
- Measuring packing errors per month also shows whether checklists are being followed and where packers need support.

This is how you manage packing and shipping tasks after production without delays.
