Ongoing

Learn how the Skrym-Ongoing integration works

Ongoing is one of the most popular Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) in Sweden for E-commerce retailers. It is very easy to utilize Skrym if you are already using Ongoing as a WMS provider due to our many different integrations with them.

Setting up Skrym with Ongoing

Regardless of your needs, all of our integrations with Ongoing are handled through their developer.ongoingwarehouse.com faviconwebhook support.

There are, of course, slight differences between the integrations, and depending on whether you're using one or many of our tools, the setup might differ. To see the basics of how our integrations are set up, have a look below:

Optimization

There are two common ways to integrate our optimization with Ongoing. One is by setting up the OrderCreated webhook event. This causes the webhook to be triggered whenever the order is created in Ongoing (this is usually when an ERP system sends it to the warehouse).

  • Basic recommendation: Skrym populates the OrderClass field in Ongoing with the package recommendation (using the package alias)
  • Recommendation with dimensions: Skrym populates the Parcel field in Ongoing with a parcel ID and the dimensions from the

Shipping

Shipping is an area that covers many of our tools; in particular, it relates to both Booking and Tracking. The integration for both of these options is quite similar since they rely on the same webhook, namely:

  • OrderStatusChanged: This particular webhook allows you to specify when it should be triggered depending on the status change of the order. The usual way to set this up is to always go from picked to sent.

Skrym will then fetch the required data from both Ongoing and our own checkout (if the checkout tool is being used) to create and print the labels using www.printnode.com faviconPrintnode

The tracking integration will instead simply read from the tracking reference and order number to start a tracked shipment in Skrym.
