A method comprising:
- receiving a request from a facility computing device of a facility associated with a sender platform account;
- generating a label data object for the sender platform account based on the request;
- assigning the label data object to a label group;
- generating manifest information for the label group based on a facility configuration for the facility and manifest requirements for a carrier, wherein the manifest information is generated in response to a manifest trigger;
- and
- providing the manifest information to an external system.
method of claim 1, wherein generating manifest information for the label group comprises updating label group manifest state information for the label group, wherein the label group manifest state information identifies that the manifest information has been generated.
The method further comprising:
- receiving a configuration request from a device, wherein the configuration request comprises authentication information for the sender platform account associated with the facility;
- authenticating the configuration request based on the authentication information;
- and
- generating the facility configuration for the facility of the sender platform account based on the authenticated configuration request.
A system for generating manifest information comprising:
- a set of sender platform accounts, wherein a set of facilities are associated with each sender platform account;
- a multi-tenant service platform configured to:
- receive a request from a facility computing device of a facility associated with a sender platform account;
- generate a label data object for the sender platform account based on the request;
- assign the label data object to a label group;
- generate manifest information for the label group based on a facility configuration for the facility and a manifest model for a carrier, wherein the manifest information is generated in response to a manifest trigger;
- and
- provide the manifest information to an external system.
