Once an order flows into VU OMS, you can manually access the traveler. From there, you can update the order statuses, and fulfillment notifications will be seamlessly relayed back to Shopify.

VU Custom or an affiliated partner can establish automated systems to transfer the order travelers to a folder in an established SFTP server once an order enters the VU OMS.
API Based Integration
Our team and partner network can determine which factory integration path is best suited to meet the needs for your brand and factories.

From enhanced order processing with advanced logic to sophisticated capture and reporting mechanisms and innovative prototyping, VU OMS streamlines backend operations for seamless order fulfillment and management.
