Know every parcel is packed before the courier arrives
Every seller has had the same evening. The courier is at the shutter, the manifest says forty-one, and there are forty boxes on the table. Nobody knows which order is missing, so the whole pile gets opened again - or it goes out short and comes back as a cancellation a week later.
This is the fix. Add today's label PDFs - Amazon's and Flipkart's, one after the other. The page counts them and tells you the day is forty-one parcels, twenty-six Amazon and fifteen Flipkart. Pack each box and scan it as you tape it. When the delivery agent walks in, the screen says forty-one of forty-one, and you know that before he asks rather than after he leaves.

How it works
- Add the day's labels, from every marketplace you sell on. Open the Amazon order PDF, then the Flipkart one. They land on the same day's list rather than in two separate piles, because the courier does not come twice. Labels and invoices together - the order ID, buyer and items are printed on the invoice half. The file is read inside your browser tab and never uploaded.
- See what the day actually is. The moment the list is saved you get the number: 41 parcels today, 26 Amazon and 15 Flipkart. That single figure is what the evening is measured against, and until now most sellers only ever had it from the manifest, after the fact.
- Pack a box, scan a box. As each parcel is taped, scan its barcode. The row ticks over and the count moves - 12 of 41, 13 of 41. A USB gun types straight into the scan screen, a phone camera works through the browser or the Android app, and a box scanned twice is called out rather than counted again.
- Know you are done before the agent arrives. When the screen reads 41 of 41, every order the marketplaces gave you today is on the table. If it reads 39 of 41, it names the two - order ID, buyer, SKU and courier - so you fetch those two boxes instead of reopening the pile.
- Print labels for whatever is still missing. If a parcel genuinely cannot go today, print labels for only the unscanned orders, or download the day as a CSV. The handover boards split the pending ones by courier, the way the van takes them.
What it handles
- Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho label PDFs read from one page, onto one day's list
- The day's count, split by channel, as soon as the list is saved
- One row per parcel: barcode, order ID, buyer name, city, SKU, quantity, courier and channel
- A running packed-of-total figure that moves with every scan
- A duplicate scan is called out loudly - the same box going into two bags is how a second order goes missing
- Courier-wise boards, so handover is counted the way the van takes it
- Print labels for only the orders nobody packed, or download the day as a CSV
- Works with a USB gun, a phone camera in the browser, or the Android scanner app
- A 2,000-parcel day is read in about seven seconds, because it is read on your own machine
Your PDF stays on your computer. The list is what gets saved.
The label PDF is opened and read inside your browser tab and is never uploaded - there is no endpoint on our side to send it to. That is also why a 2,000-parcel day is read in about seven seconds rather than spending four minutes on your upload speed.
What is saved, and only when you press the button that says so, is the list a phone needs in order to scan against: per parcel the barcode, order ID, buyer name, delivery city, state and pincode, SKU, quantity, courier, channel and invoice value. The street address and the buyer's phone number are deliberately never stored, and the whole list is deleted twelve months later.
This is the only place in the product where anything taken from a customer's order leaves your browser, and it is here because a packer's phone cannot scan against a file that is sitting on your desktop.
Questions
- Is my label PDF uploaded to your server?
- No. The PDF is opened and read inside your browser tab and never leaves your computer - there is no upload endpoint on our side for it to go to. What is saved, when you press the button, is the list of text taken out of it, so that a phone can scan against the same list.
- Can I put Amazon and Flipkart orders on the same list?
- Yes, and that is the point of it. Open each marketplace's label PDF in turn and press save each time - they all join one day's list, with the totals split by channel. The courier arrives once, so the count you check against him has to be one number, not three.
- What exactly is stored in my account?
- Per parcel: the barcode, order ID, buyer name, delivery city, state and pincode, SKU, quantity, courier, channel and invoice value. The street address and the buyer's phone number are deliberately never stored - city and state answer every question this tool needs to answer.
- How long is the list kept?
- Twelve months, then it is deleted. That is long enough to settle a dispute about a parcel from last season and short enough that this does not quietly turn into a customer database. The purge happens as new days are written, so there is no cron job to fail.
- Do I need a barcode scanner to use it?
- No. A USB gun is the fastest way and costs about a thousand rupees, but a phone camera works - open the scan screen on the phone, or use the Android app - and you can always search the list and tick a parcel off by hand.
- What happens if I scan the same box twice?
- It tells you, clearly, instead of quietly counting it again. A double scan usually means the same parcel went into two bags, which is the exact mistake this is meant to catch, so it is treated as a warning rather than a duplicate row.
- Can somebody else do the scanning while I keep working?
- Yes. Sign in on the packer's phone and open the scanner there - it reads the same day's list. Sign in before the pickup rather than during it, because that is the one moment when a WhatsApp code arriving late actually costs you something.
