How the Tall Emu integration works
Tall Emu Freight Hub connects the customer order and shipment to BigPost. The steps are:
- Use the customer and delivery information already held in Tall Emu
- Enter or confirm the cartons, pallets, dimensions and weight
- Request available BigPost freight services and prices
- Select the service and book the shipment
- Generate the required freight label
- Store tracking details against the order and shipment
The available carriers and services can vary according to the freight, pickup location, destination and BigPost account.
BigPost or a direct carrier account?
Choose BigPost when you want access to its carrier network and buying power.
A direct carrier integration may suit a business that already has strong negotiated rates and wants to manage that carrier relationship itself. Some businesses use both models and choose the best path for each type of shipment.
Where BigPost is strongest
- Australian road freight
- Cartons, pallets and larger ecommerce products
- Businesses shipping to both commercial and residential addresses
- Regional freight where depot collection may help
- Businesses that want carrier choice without establishing every account directly
Use BigPost from the Tall Emu order
Access BigPost's freight network and buying power without re-entering the shipment in another system.
