# EasyPost + Fishbowl Integration — Israel Lopez Consulting

> We build custom shipping apps on EasyPost for multi-carrier rating, labels, and tracking, wired into Fishbowl with automation workflows shaped around how you ship.

[EasyPost](https://www.easypost.com/) is a shipping API that reaches USPS, UPS,
FedEx, DHL, and dozens of other carriers through one interface. We use it as the
foundation for **custom shipping apps** — not an off-the-shelf connector, but
software built around how your business actually ships, wired directly into
Fishbowl.

## What we build

- **Multi-carrier rating and labels.** Rate-shop across every carrier you use,
  buy the right label, and pull Fishbowl order and item data into it
  automatically — no re-keying at the pack station.
- **Highly customized automation.** Carrier selection rules, packaging logic,
  service-level and cost thresholds, address verification, customs docs,
  batch label runs — the workflow logic your operation needs, coded to match it.
- **Tracking back into Fishbowl.** Tracking numbers and delivery status flow
  back onto the order so your team and your customers stay informed.

## Why ILC

Most shippers outgrow the pre-built tools: the carrier logic gets too specific,
the volume gets too high, or a rule just doesn't exist in the box. EasyPost gives
us the carrier reach; we write the app around it. Because we build directly
against the Fishbowl data and the EasyPost API, the automation fits your process
instead of forcing your process to fit a template.

If you're doing high-volume or unusual shipping and the standard integrations
can't keep up, this is where a custom app pays for itself.
