From a PHP app to a Python platform that scales.
Fulfillman came to WebDesignSun to rebuild their dropshipping and fulfillment product from the ground up — and to give it a design concept worthy of the daily work it carries. They chose us for clean, dependable, bug-free engineering and a team that owns both the design and the code. We’ve been their partner ever since.

Challenge:
A growing fulfillment business had outgrown its own software.
- Aging software buckling under order volume and every new integration.
- Per-order economics — cost, sale price, profit, fees — scattered across tools and tabs.
- Orders pouring in from many Shopify stores, each with its own auth, status and tracking.
- Deliveries to track across multiple carriers and countries — with no single source of truth.
Solution:
One fast workspace that keeps the whole operation moving.
- A private Shopify app with real-time webhooks — orders arrive the moment they're placed.
- Every order's economics and status on one sortable line — no spreadsheets, no tab-switching.
- Per-store control — authorization, on/off, white-label tracking — all from the main view.
- Carrier pricing as a flexible matrix, tuned by carrier, country and weight.

2016
Partners from day one — still building today.
Everything to run fulfillment, in one place.
Stores, unified
Run many Shopify stores from one workspace, one at a time.
Money, per order
Cost, sale price, profit and fees — visible on every order.
Pricing that flexes
Tiered SKU pricing plus a carrier × country × weight matrix.
Delivery, tracked
Live status across six carriers in one view.
One platform, built for three roles.
A web-based CRM that improves the experience for everyone along the logistics chain — each role gets exactly the controls and analytics it needs.
Role 01
Administrators
Full operational control
Manage retailers, their stores, SKUs and orders — plus suppliers and carriers. Set carrier pricing by carrier, country and parcel weight using daily Google USD rates, control branded packages and service fees, and read clear analytics — top products, profits, orders and refunds — through one comprehensive filtering system.
Role 02
Retailers
Sell, ship & measure
Create an account and connect several stores through a convenient filter to manage SKUs, incoming orders, cancellation requests and deliveries. Print shipping labels, control account and stock balances, and follow profits, margins, expenses and fees through robust analytics and a notification system.
Role 03
Suppliers
Fulfill with confidence
Work the orders coming from connected stores, manage carriers and cancellation requests, and watch each store's balance — with the same depth of analytics admins get, so nothing slips between hand-offs.
Designed for speed and the fewest possible clicks.
The concept was created after a thoughtful analysis of the main users’ needs. We built it from a system of components, styles, colors and shadows — which made the UI faster to assemble and cut edits across the project.
- Every important function sits within reach on one main screen.
- A hiding & revealing navigation bar keeps the focus on dense data tables.
- SVG icons recolor harmoniously and minimize CSS-to-image requests.
- A curated set of text styles and colors tuned for the target users.
- Manage orders in the minimum number of clicks — comfortable, every day.
A Python stack, engineered to integrate.
The platform runs on Django and Python — a private Shopify app with webhooks pulls in every store order, then wires it to the services that keep fulfillment moving.

Carrier tracking APIs — live delivery status by tracking number
Under the hood.
Connected-store workspace
Retailers tend to run several shops, so we introduced a filtration system to focus on one connected store at a time — working only with its orders and SKUs, lowering the chance of confusion and errors.
- See balance and transactions across all connected shops for finance management.
- Set balance and stock notifications — never run out of branded packages or funds.
- Add, authorize and configure stores with order prefixes, suppliers and link rules.
Orders, profit & status in one view
The app is rich in order-management functionality: retailers track sales, profit and fees across every item and service in an order, alongside payment and delivery statuses.
- Dense per-order data — cost, sale price, profit, SKU, fulfillment & tracking status.
- Hide columns you don’t need to make the orders list easier to work with.
- Bulk print labels, print QTY/SKU and re-calculate pricing in a click.
SKU rules & accurate profit
Retailers have exceptions — countries served by different methods, or e-products. We built functionality to exclude orders with certain SKUs and from certain countries, so they never clutter the app.
- Manage products with full SKU information plus sales and cost data.
- Tiered pricing per quantity group — per 1, 5, 10 items — for true per-order profit.
- Country & SKU exclusions keep the workspace focused on what matters.
Notifications & delivery tracking
The delivery-management system lets retailers and suppliers get updates on delivery statuses and catch any errors — with the option to edit statuses manually when needed.
- Live status from six carrier APIs, normalized into one tracking view.
- A real-time notification feed for new orders, payments and failures.
- Balance and stock alerts so issues surface before they become problems.
Carrier pricing matrix
A multilevel Carrier → Country → Parcel-weight model lets admins and suppliers build multi-factor shipping prices that fold in supplier margin and an order-registration fee.
Advanced filtering
Date ranges, fulfillment and tracking status, store and SKU search — every list bends to the question being asked, with presets like Last 7 Days and This Month.
Shipping labels & print
Print labels, QTY/SKU sheets and order batches straight from the orders screen — keeping the warehouse moving without leaving the CRM.
