How it works with your 3PL

A real-world example. ShipBob needs to receive your daily order export — here's the setup from zero to live.

1
create_new_folder

Create directory "shipbob-order-exports"

In the Bridglet dashboard, hit "New Directory" and name it after your 3PL. One directory per trading partner keeps order files isolated and credentials scoped.

Dashboard → Directories → New → shipbob-order-exports
2
send

Share SFTP credentials with ShipBob

Bridglet generates a unique username and password scoped to this directory only. Paste them into an email or your 3PL's onboarding portal — no YAML, no VPN, no IT.

Your system drops the order export nightly via SFTP

Your order management system or ERP pushes the daily order CSV to Bridglet each night. ShipBob's fulfillment pipeline picks it up on the other end. Fully automated, zero manual steps.

recycling
