A Modern Warehouse Management System Built for Speed

ShipHero is a cloud-based warehouse management and order fulfillment platform used by ecommerce brands, wholesalers, and third-party logistics providers. It centralizes inventory, picking, packing, and shipping across one or many warehouses — but it works best when every order source and every downstream system is connected to it. That's where SBSA comes in.

Multi-Channel Order Hub

ShipHero consolidates orders from ecommerce storefronts, marketplaces, and EDI trading partners into a single fulfillment queue. SBSA ensures every order source — no matter the format — lands in ShipHero correctly mapped and ready to ship.

Single & Multi-Warehouse / 3PL

Whether you run one warehouse or operate as a 3PL serving multiple client brands, ShipHero supports warehouse-level routing and inventory segmentation. SBSA configures order and inventory flows that respect those boundaries automatically.

Single Warehouse 3PL Multi-Client Warehouse Routing

Two-Way Data Flow

Orders flow in; inventory, tracking, and shipment confirmations flow out. SBSA builds the connections in both directions so your ERP, EDI partners, and sales channels always reflect what's actually happening on the warehouse floor.

Three Ways SBSA Connects to ShipHero

ShipHero supports API-based integration, and SBSA can also bridge EDI and file-based data into that API layer for trading partners that don't communicate via API. SBSA manages setup, mapping, and ongoing monitoring for all connection types.

EDI-to-ShipHero Bridge

Trading Partner Translation

For suppliers receiving EDI 850 purchase orders from retailers, SBSA translates EDI documents into ShipHero sales orders, and converts ShipHero shipment data back into compliant EDI 856 and 810 transactions.

  • Protocol: AS2, SFTP, or VAN to SBSA, API to ShipHero
  • Standard: ANSI X12 — retailer implementation guides
  • Best for: EDI wholesale suppliers using ShipHero as WMS
  • SBSA manages: Full EDI-to-ShipHero translation layer

ERP Connector

Accounting & Inventory Sync

Connects ShipHero to your accounting platform so invoices, inventory counts, and order statuses stay aligned. Built specifically for QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise, with other ERPs available on request.

  • Protocol: QuickBooks Online API / QuickBooks Enterprise SDK
  • Direction: Bi-directional — orders, inventory, invoices
  • Best for: Automated invoicing and bookkeeping
  • SBSA manages: Connector setup, mapping & support

SBSA Technology supports core and supplemental ShipHero Integration EDI documents. Critical transactions are highlighted because they carry the highest compliance risk when transmitted incorrectly or late.

ShipHero Integration with Leading ERP Systems

SBSA Technology provides pre-built ERP integrations that simplify EDI implementation, automate document exchange, and reduce onboarding time.

ShipHero Integration FAQ

Common questions from brands, 3PLs, and EDI suppliers connecting ShipHero to their other systems.

A ShipHero integration connects your order sources — EDI trading partners, ecommerce stores, or marketplaces — directly to ShipHero's warehouse management system. Orders flow into ShipHero automatically for picking, packing, and shipping, while inventory levels, tracking numbers, and shipment confirmations flow back out to your other systems in real time.

Yes. SBSA Technology maps inbound EDI 850 purchase orders from retail trading partners directly into ShipHero as sales orders. Once ShipHero fulfills the order, SBSA generates the outbound EDI 856 ASN and 810 invoice from ShipHero's shipment and tracking data, maintaining full retailer compliance.

Yes. SBSA Technology, an Intuit Silver Partner, builds bi-directional integrations between ShipHero and both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise (Desktop). Shipped orders generate invoices automatically, inventory counts stay synced, and payments and adjustments flow back without manual entry.

SBSA sets up near real-time inventory sync so that stock levels in ShipHero reflect available-to-sell quantities across your ERP, ecommerce stores, and EDI trading partners. As orders are picked and received inventory is adjusted, every connected channel reflects the updated count automatically.

Once an order ships from ShipHero, SBSA can automatically push the shipment confirmation, tracking number, carrier, ship date, and final item quantities back to your ERP — triggering invoice creation, updating order status, and closing the loop without manual data entry.

Most ShipHero integrations are completed within a few weeks depending on the number of connected systems. SBSA handles connection setup, field mapping, testing with sample orders, and go-live monitoring as part of a fully managed implementation.
