ShipStation + Minimal AI
Minimal AI integrates with ShipStation to provide customers with shipping and order fulfillment information. The AI looks up shipment details, tracking numbers, and delivery status across all carriers configured in ShipStation. Beyond looking up information, the AI can also take actions in ShipStation on behalf of your team.
Every company connects their tools differently. The AI Manager figures out how yours work and sets up ShipStation for you.
