Manage your entire network, down to the parcel.

Shipping execution across your fulfillment network. Any node, any carrier, any system.

The stakes

Decisions, decisions.

Every shipment has a range of factors that determine how fast, accurate, and profitable it will be. At enterprise volume, the gap between the right decision and a stale default is measured in millions of dollars and thousands of exceptions.

Most shipping tools print the label after those calls are made, usually by a rule someone wrote years ago.

The big idea

Optimize the decision, then execute it.

Before a label is ever printed, SMS evaluates each shipment against your carrier contracts, service commitments, true cost, and rules to choose the best path. Then it executes that choice (rate, label, manifest) with rapid processing time.

Decision flow

What happens between the order and the carrier.

1. Eligibility
   Know which carriers and services can handle this shipment at all (geography, restrictions, hazmat, your constraints).

2. Date Shop
   Know which options meet the required window, using the same modeling that powers the Delivery Promise dates.

3. Rate Shop
   Assess the true landed cost of each eligible option, modeled internally, with all surcharges accounted for during selection.

4. Volume balancing
   Steer carrier selection decisions to hit commitments and protect your negotiated discounts.

5. Label + manifest
   Execute the shipment using the winning choice and hand off to the carrier.

The decisions made before a label exists.

Route Optimization

Select the right origins and ship dates to meet promised delivery dates within your desired cost thresholds.

Mode Optimization

Assess the true cost of shipping parcel vs. LTL to determine which mode is right for each shipment.

Carrier Load Management

Steer volume across carriers to hit minimum-volume commitments and protect the discounts you negotiated.

Packaging Optimization

Right-size your packaging to cut dimensional-weight surcharges and wasted fill.

Zone Skipping

Consolidate and inject deeper into the network to cut long-haul cost.

Address Validation

Correct and standardize addresses before they ship, avoiding correction surcharges and failed deliveries.

Every decision, executed at enterprise throughput.

Rating Engine

True, invoice-accurate landed cost for every eligible carrier and service, modeled internally and returned in milliseconds rather than waiting on carrier APIs.

Label Engine

Generate compliant labels and documents at peak volume, customized per carrier, brand, and client.

Pack Station

Guide packers through the right box, contents, and label at the bench, cutting errors and training time.

Ship-from-Store

Turn stores into fulfillment nodes with the same intelligent decisioning.

Dropshipping

Extend the same execution to supplier-shipped orders.

Documentation, duties, and carrier selection across Canada and Mexico.

You stay in control.

You don’t have to rely on rigid, hand-maintained rules or trust your decisions to a black box. With Shipium, you define the logic, monitor decision outcomes, simulate changes before implementing them, and measure the results. Automation scales your performance standards and captures ongoing savings while you keep your hands on the wheel.

Set the logic yourself.

Configure carrier selection, packaging, routing, and labeling logic globally, per tenant, or per origin directly from Shipium’s UI. No service orders, no waiting on internal IT.

See and steer every decision from one place.

One interface for carriers, rules, rates, and performance to replace the patchwork of carrier portals and disconnected systems most networks accumulate.

Test the change before you commit to it.

Model the impact of a new carrier mix, rate sheet changes, new promise dates and more so you can implement them with confidence.

Validate impact, then find the next opportunity.

Gain visibility into cost-per-package, on-time performance, delivery speed, volume allocation — all from execution data generated by the same platform.

Built on the Shipium platform.

SMS runs on the same foundation as every Shipium product — built on tight Integration with existing supply chain system, a Carrier Network of 70+ carriers, the Rules Engine you configure every decision with, and the Console, where operators manage your network using a single pane of glass.

Shipping just got smarter. Our customers and partners are proof.

Shipium is a true partner who has provided us with more flexibility and cost control capabilities, while also expanding what is possible for our customer-obsessed team.
