What is CoolRunner?
CoolRunner is a Danish multi-carrier shipping aggregator. The myFulfillment connector exposes a sample of bpost, DHL, Mondial Relay, Colis Privé and PostNL methods. At the packing station, the operator selects a method and sees the price stored in the carrier account. This is not a live quote requested from CoolRunner. When label creation starts, myFulfillment sends the sender, recipient, weight, dimensions and selected service. For a destination that requires customs data, the request also includes each item's description, value, currency, tariff code, country of origin and weight. CoolRunner returns a tracking number and PDF, both stored with the shipment. During later refreshes, myFulfillment queries CoolRunner with that number, saves the events and updates the operational status. Homerunner now manages business accounts, while the integration continues to use the CoolRunner name.
CoolRunner integration in the shipping workflow
CoolRunner routes shipments through several carriers; myFulfillment handles fulfillment, retains the operator's choice, and stores the information returned by CoolRunner.
