Mintsoft Parcelforce Integration
Connect your Mintsoft Account with the Parcelforce Integration to make managing multiple carriers simple.
Seamless Parcelforce Integration with Mintsoft
The Parcelforce integration with Mintsoft enables your warehouse and fulfilment operations to connect directly with one of the UK's leading parcel carriers, all from a single platform. Whether you're shipping domestically or internationally, Mintsoft automates the end-to-end process, from raising shipments to printing labels and tracking deliveries, so your team can focus on fulfilment rather than admin.
Parcelforce is now part of the unified Royal Mail delivery network, meaning the integration is managed via your Royal Mail Online Business Account (OBA). This gives you access to the full range of Parcelforce and Royal Mail services through one connected account.
Automated shipment creation
Automatically raise Parcelforce shipments directly from Mintsoft as orders are processed. Say goodbye to logging into multiple platforms and manually rekeying data. Order details flow seamlessly from your sales channels into Mintsoft, where shipments are created and submitted to Parcelforce without manual intervention.
Label printing & dispatch documentation
Once shipments have been raised via the Parcelforce integration, Mintsoft retrieves your Parcelforce shipping labels ready for printing, alongside any other required despatch documentation. Everything you need to get parcels out of the door is available in one place.
Real-time shipment tracking
Shipment details sync from Parcelforce into Mintsoft so you can track orders after they've been despatched. Easily search for any shipment by customer name, order number or postcode, giving your team and your customers full visibility of every delivery.
SMS & email delivery notifications
Keep your customers informed at every stage of their delivery journey. The Parcelforce integration supports a highly configurable range of SMS and email notifications, which can be set up directly within Mintsoft to automatically alert recipients when their parcel is on its way.
Why You Need a Parcelforce Integration

Enhanced compensation & hazardous goods options
The Parcelforce integration supports enhanced compensation options for higher-value shipments, as well as the ability to flag hazardous goods, giving you the flexibility to handle a wider range of product types and meet the specific shipping requirements of your clients.
Explore our other courier API integrations
With Mintsoft, you have access to a wide variety of pre-built connections to multi-carrier providers, as well as individual UK and international shipping partners. If your shipping partner is not currently supported, the Courier API connector tool can help you build custom integrations.
Ecommerce Integrations
Multi-channel retailers require multiple API integrations, and your inventory and orders across other marketplaces must be managed centrally to avoid stockouts and save time manually checking for orders. Alongside carriers, Mintsoft also offer many other marketplace integrations for you to explore

I'd recommend Mintsoft to any business that was sending out goods, B2B or B2C, in conjunction with a premier success plan. That's what gives a partnership of trade and the capacity to grow using the product rather than a tool that's in your toolbox.
