This January, we shipped features that reduce manual work and give you better control over your prep operations.

These updates build on the improvements introduced in our Navigate Winter Releases, continuing our focus on faster workflows, better accuracy, and operational efficiency.

Here’s what’s new in Navigate:

Navigate Open APIs

Navigate’s open APIs are now fully documented.

This gives partners and clients the ability to integrate directly with Navigate or build custom workflows.

What’s included:

  • Complete API documentation
  • Authentication guides
  • Code examples
  • Integration support

If you’re building integrations or need programmatic access to Navigate, the API documentation covers everything you need.

Auto Populate for Prep Requests

Auto Populate is now available for prep requests. This feature loads all SKUs from a selected location with one click.

Autopopulate prep requests

How it works:

  • Start a new prep request and select a ship-from location
  • Click the Auto Populate button
  • All available SKUs at that location load automatically
  • Expiry dates and lot numbers populate where applicable

This eliminates manual entry when creating prep requests for multiple SKUs.

Bulk Upload Enhancements

The bulk upload file now supports additional configuration options:

  • Expiry tracking
  • Lot tracking
  • Label owner
  • Prep owner
  • Default prep services

You can now set these options directly in the upload file instead of configuring them manually after import.

Default Prep Services at Product Level

You can now set default prep services for each product. Once configured, these services will auto-populate when creating prep requests.

Default prep services

How to use it:

  • Go to product settings
  • Configure default prep services for each SKU
  • Services auto-populate during prep request creation
  • Override when needed for specific orders

This reduces repeated manual entry for products that require the same prep services.

Shipping and Transportation Selection

We redesigned the shipping and transportation selection interface based on user feedback.

Shipping and transportation selection

Updates:

  • Clearer shipping method options
  • Simplified selection process
  • Better visibility of available transportation types

The new interface reduces the steps needed to complete shipment setup.

Navigate continues to evolve every month as we add new automation and workflow improvements for sellers. If you want to see what came next, explore the Navigate February release for the latest product updates and enhancements.
