About ShipHero
ShipHero's rebuilt Wholesale flow is the center of gravity — mobile redesigns, LPN pallet picks, tighter API governance.
ShipHero's April release cadence is almost entirely Wholesale-focused, layering features and polish onto the new Wholesale flow that replaced the legacy system on April 1. Mobile gets standardized redesigns (Cycle Count, Wholesale Dashboard); the workflow gains LPN pallet/carton picks, default-settings governance, and inline API label voiding. On the platform side, unhealthy webhooks get auto-disabled — a real reliability tightening for integration partners.
