Asendia Integration & Shipping Software Development

Custom Asendia shipping integration using C# and .NET for shipment processing, service and product mapping, multi-package handling, customs information, shipping labels, tracking and integration with existing business systems. The integration authenticates with the Asendia service, maps configured shipping categories and subcategories to carrier-specific product and service attributes, builds sender, receiver and parcel information, optionally prepares customs order lines, constructs the Asendia SOAP request and processes the returned shipment response. The integration is designed to work within a broader multi-carrier shipping platform, allowing the common business shipment model to remain separate from the carrier-specific Asendia implementation.

Asendia Integration & Shipping Software Development

Horizon Softwares develops custom Asendia shipping integrations using C# and .NET for applications that need automated shipment processing, carrier service mapping, multi-package handling, customs information, shipping labels and tracking. The integration can be connected to existing ERP, order management and logistics applications as part of a broader multi-carrier shipping platform.

1. Authenticate — Authenticate with Asendia and obtain the authentication ticket used by the shipment request.

2. Map Product & Service — Convert the configured shipping category and subcategory into Asendia product, additional-service and format attributes.

3. Build Parcels — Calculate the required parcel count and create individual parcel records with dimensions and weight.

4. Build Addresses — Create sender and receiver address structures for the Asendia shipment.

5. Process Customs — Convert applicable product, quantity, origin, HS code, weight and customs value information into Asendia order lines.

6. Build SOAP Request — Serialize the shipment and construct the Asendia AddAndPrintShipmentRequest with PDF label output.

7. Submit & Parse Response — Send the SOAP request, validate the raw response and parse the structured carrier result.

8. Process Labels & Tracking — Extract returned label documents and tracking numbers and aggregate them back into the business shipment.

ASENDIA INTEGRATION CAPABILITIES

Asendia Integration: Real-World Implementation

MODULE

Asendia Shipping Integration Workflow

The Asendia integration is implemented as a carrier-specific C# / .NET workflow within the shipping application.

The workflow starts by authenticating with Asendia, mapping the configured product and service, calculating parcel requirements and creating sender, receiver and parcel structures.

For applicable shipments, customs order lines are created before the shipment is serialized into the Asendia SOAP structure. The response is then validated and parsed to extract labels and tracking information.

Implementation flow:

Authenticate → map product/service → build parcels and addresses → process customs → build SOAP request → submit → parse response → process labels and tracking.

Asendia Shipping Integration using C# and .NET

MODULE

Asendia Authentication

The shipment workflow first creates an Asendia authentication request and sends it through the Asendia client.

The returned authentication response is parsed to extract the authentication ticket. That ticket is subsequently inserted into the SOAP header of the shipment request.

Authentication flow:

Build authentication request → authenticate → extract authentication ticket → include ticket in shipment SOAP header.

MODULE

Asendia Product & Service Mapping

The integration maps the configured shipping category and subcategory into Asendia-specific shipment attributes.

Depending on the configured category, the integration selects the appropriate Asendia product and may add additional services or format information. The carrier service attributes are then attached to the shipment before serialization.

This keeps business-facing service selection separate from the carrier-specific attribute values required by Asendia.

Additional services

Format handling

Carrier-specific attributes

MODULE

Multi-Package Shipment Processing

Package count is calculated from the supplied package dimensions and quantities. The integration then creates individual parcel objects for each required package.

Each parcel receives its own dimensions, weight and parcel identifier, while corresponding receiver address records are created for the shipment structure.

Package flow:

Package dimensions and quantity → calculate parcel count → create parcel objects → assign dimensions and weight → attach parcels to shipment.

Length / width / height

Package weight

Individual parcel records

Multi-package support

MODULE

Asendia Customs Order Lines

When customs item information is supplied, the integration converts the product information into Asendia order lines.

The order lines contain shipment reference information together with quantity, product description, country of origin, harmonization code, calculated weight, unit price, currency and unit of measure.

The resulting order lines are attached to the parcel before the final shipment is serialized.

Product description

Quantity

Country of origin

HS code

Item weight

Customs value

EUR currency

Order line mapping

MODULE

Asendia SOAP Shipment Creation

The completed shipment is serialized using the .NET DataContractSerializer and its namespaces are adapted to the Asendia service and DTO namespaces required by the SOAP contract.

The final SOAP envelope contains the authentication ticket, a generated message ID, the AddAndPrintShipmentRequest and the PDF label output setting.

The completed XML is then sent through the Asendia client and the raw carrier response is returned for validation and parsing.

Raw response processing

MODULE

Asendia Labels & Tracking

After the raw response is validated, the Asendia response parser extracts the structured shipment result.

Returned parcel documents are converted into application-readable label data and tracking numbers are extracted from the parsed response.

The outer shipment workflow aggregates labels and tracking information across individual package calls and associates them with the business shipment.

MODULE

Asendia Response & Error Handling

The integration validates the raw Asendia response before attempting to process the structured shipment result.

If the raw response indicates a failure, the carrier error is returned together with the original request and response information. If structured response parsing fails, the parser errors are also returned to the calling workflow.

Technical exceptions are captured and returned as an unsuccessful shipment result.
