Logistics Waybill & Shipping Label Automation

Automatically print shipping waybills, delivery manifests, and logistics labels as they arrive. Perfect for freight forwarders, 3PLs, and dispatch offices.

The Morning Dispatch Chaos

5:00 AM - Dispatch Office Opens

67 new waybills arrived overnight from freight systems. Each pickup needs paperwork printed before trucks roll at 6:30 AM. Drivers waiting. Clock ticking.

5:05 AM - The Print Sprint Begins

Open first waybill email. Download PDF. Print. Grab next email. Download. Print. Different carriers use different formats. Some emails have multiple shipments. Some waybills buried in attachments. Meanwhile, drivers arriving early asking for paperwork.

What goes wrong:

• Delayed truck departure = missed delivery windows
• Waybills printed to wrong printer or lost in queue
• Dispatch staff stressed and error-prone
• Drivers frustrated waiting for paperwork

Result: Late truck departures, missed delivery windows

Every minute of delay cascades through the entire delivery schedule

Waybills Ready Before Drivers Arrive

5:00 AM - Everything Already Printed

All 67 waybills printed overnight and organized at the dispatch printer. Each shipment has its paperwork ready. Drivers arrive, grab their stack, and roll immediately.

How Automated Printing Works

Monitors dispatch email 24/7: Watches for waybills from TMS, freight systems, and carriers
Prints automatically: New waybills print immediately as they arrive overnight
Handles all formats: Works with PDFs, Word docs, and carrier-specific templates
Multiple printers: Route labels to thermal printer, manifests to office printer

Result: Trucks depart on time, every time

Dispatch staff handle exceptions, not printing duties

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does AutoPrintEmail cost?

We offer a $499 lifetime license (recommended - pay once, own forever) or a $29/month subscription with a 3-day free trial.

Will this work with our TMS (Transportation Management System)?

Yes. If your TMS sends waybills, manifests, or shipping labels via email (most do), AutoPrintEmail will automatically print them. Works with SAP, Oracle, Manhattan, and any system that emails documents.

Can we print to thermal label printers in the warehouse?

Absolutely. AutoPrintEmail supports thermal label printers (Zebra, Datamax, SATO), thermal receipt printers, and standard laser/inkjet printers. Perfect for 4x6 shipping labels and narrow-format waybills.

What happens if waybills arrive at 3 AM?

AutoPrintEmail runs as a background service 24/7. Waybills that arrive overnight print automatically so they're waiting when your morning shift arrives. No early morning manual printing needed.

Can we route different document types to different printers?

Yes. You can configure rules to send shipping labels to thermal printers, waybills to laser printers, and pick lists to warehouse floor printers. Smart routing based on sender, subject, or document type.
