Shipium named in 2026 Gartner® MCPMS Market Guide

For B2B operators

One platform for network-wide optimization

Promise dates that your customers can rely on, route to the carriers that hit them, and gain complete visibility into shipping performance and costs.

Built for B2B complexity

Different priorities, different stakes, same intelligent shipping engine

Shipium supports a range of needs across different types of B2B shippers. Here are some examples.

Deliver on-time without compromising your margins

Auto parts operators ship to environments where accuracy is paramount. On the aftermarket retail side, customers compare exact delivery dates at checkout, and you can win or lose the sale on that date. On the OEM and tier-1 supply side, a missed delivery can stop a production line. Shipium helps you deliver for your customers, every time.

What changes

Promise and execution, in sync.

The date your customer sees online is the date your warehouse ships to hit. Both are rendered from the same transit prediction.

The promise/execution sync

Offer exact delivery dates, then meet them

Stand out from your competition by offering exact dates, not ranges. Shipium uses one ML-powered EDD model across promise and execution. The date your customer sees is the date your warehouse ships to hit.

HOW IT WORKS

Delivery Promise returns an accurate promise date to your frontend. At pack-out, Rating Engine evaluates every eligible carrier and service against that date and selects the cheapest method that will arrive on time.

Fulfillment diversity, treated correctly

Use one platform across fulfillment strategies

You may be shipping from regional DCs, stores, or directly from vendors. Shipium models each origin's actual carrier mix, schedules, cutoffs, and historical performance. Every rate shop reflects the real fulfillment context for each shipment.

HOW IT WORKS

Every origin gets its own carrier mix and schedule. When dropshipping or ship-from-store goes live, the same platform absorbs the new motion with no new technology vendor or integration.

KEEP DATES, SAVE ON COSTS

Intelligently downgrade services without missing promise dates

Many incumbent systems can't evaluate full carrier constraints (real rates, real rules, accurate transit time, capacity limits). As a result, customers get overnight when ground would have hit the date, and the operator pays the premium. Shipium's Rating Engine evaluates every eligible carrier and service against a host of constraints, then picks the cheapest method that arrives on time.

HOW IT WORKS

Rate shopping runs against the EDD model's prediction, not against a static transit table. Service downgrades happen automatically when ground is provably on-time.

Modern shipping intelligence that works with your existing systems

Manufacturers ship a wider mix than almost anyone else. Multi-carton replenishments to distributors, individual parcel orders to technicians, hazmat. Not to mention, many manufacturers run shipping out of an ERP that wasn't built for it. Shipium enables you to handle modern shipping complexity while integrating with your existing systems.

What changes

Shipping technology for modern operators.

Shipium integrates existing systems to orchestrate shipping decisions, provide visibility, and support new initiatives.

reliable, scalable ERP integration

Modern shipping technology, integrated with your ERP

The ERP — whether SAP, Oracle, or a custom solution — is load-bearing for almost everything. Shipium's API-first architecture allows for reliable integrations without requiring an ERP migration or re-platform.

HOW IT WORKS

Proven integration frameworks and managed implementations connect Shipium's APIs to your ERP. The ERP keeps doing what it does. Shipium handles the shipping decisions.

advanced rate shopping for modern shipping complexity

Compare every carrier on real constraints, not legacy rules

Most ERPs select carriers based on rules set at implementation: "Use UPS Ground for orders under 50 lbs to X region." Rules don't update when carriers change rates, transit times shift, or new carriers become available. Shipium evaluates every shipment at decision time against the desired delivery date and picks the carrier and service that will hit it at the lowest cost.

HOW IT WORKS

Rating Engine runs against the desired delivery date and ranks every eligible carrier and service on fully-loaded cost, accurate transit time, and capacity. Rules are dynamic and support advanced rate shopping workflows.

Intelligent fulfillment on one platform

High-tech operators rarely ship one way, and many in the space have inherited three or four shipping systems through platform sprawl. Each has its own carrier contracts, its own rate logic, its own data. By contrast, Shipium optimizes and executes every shipping decision, with carrier contracts, physical network design, and visibility unified in one platform.

What changes

Do away with the patchwork of carrier portals, spreadsheets, and disconnected shipping systems.

One platform, every motion

Stop running three shipping systems for three workflows

Shipium runs every motion through one platform using the same console, same rules engine, same carrier contracts, and same data.

HOW IT WORKS

Every shipping motion (ex. dealer, service, direct, international) is configured as a rule set on one platform. New motions don't require new vendors. They're configured, not procured.

Negotiate against total volume

Hit contract tiers more intelligently

Volume tiers, lane commitments, and service-method minimums all complicate the carrier selection process. When shipping motions live in separate systems, volume gets allocated by which system happens to handle each shipment, causing shippers to miss their incentive thresholds. Shipium's Carrier Load Management tracks every commitment against real allocation and routes shipments to where they need to be.

HOW IT WORKS

Carrier Load Management monitors commitment status against negotiated tiers, and the Rating Engine factors tier-position into per-shipment routing decisions.

Replace the FP&A spreadsheet

See cost-per-package by carrier, lane, origin and more

Shipping costs are often reconstructed after the fact: pulling carrier invoices, mapping to GL codes, allocating to lanes, comparing to budget. By the time it's done, the quarter is over and it's too late to recover margins. Shipium Orca AI Analytics surfaces cost-per-package, on-time performance, exception rates, carrier mix and more. Natural language prompting can be used for deeper analysis.

HOW IT WORKS

Orca AI Analytics pulls execution data from every shipment, and renders it in a centralized view that finance and ops can both use.

How Shipium creates value for B2Bs

The shipping intelligence B2B operators actually need.

Cut the costs your incumbent system leaves on the table. Hit the dates your customer's operations depend on. Run it all from one platform across subsidiaries, systems, and origins.

Complete cost control

Rate shop fully-loaded costs across every carrier in your network, evaluate parcel vs. LTL at decision time, ensure contract incentives and discounts are maximized on every shipment, and right-size packaging to stop shipping air.

Operational precision

Replace static transit tables with ML-powered delivery date predictions that reflect real-world performance. Select the right carrier and service to hit the date your customer's operations depend on. Track every shipment against the promised date and catch slipping deliveries before your customer does.

Centralized control and visibility

One platform for execution and measurement across every fulfillment workflow. Manage carriers, rules, and analytics from a single console with no IT tickets. Tie execution data to billing and FP&A. Evaluate cost drivers, carrier performance, and network health.

Visibility, finally

Analytics built on your execution data, not bolted on top of it.

Most B2B analytics tools pull carrier invoices, normalize them in their own warehouse, and surface a dashboard a week later. Shipium's analytics layer runs on the same execution data that runs your shipping decisions — so cost-per-package, on-time performance, carrier mix, and contract tier status are visible the moment the shipment ships, not the next time a finance team reconciles.

See every shipment detail.

Drill into KPIs like cost-per-package and on-time performance by carrier, lane, origin and more. Reports are automatically updated as data from executed shipments becomes available.

See every dollar.

Expected execution costs are reconciled against carrier invoices, with detailed analytics to support cost reduction strategies. Spend insights that used to live in an FP&A spreadsheet now live in a dashboard.

See the future before you commit.

Model carrier additions, rate sheet changes, network design changes and more against your real shipment history. More data allows for more informed decision-making.

Powered by an AI analytics engine purpose-built for shipping data, with natural language querying for custom visualizations and deeper analysis.

Delivery Promise

Show accurate dates when the order is placed. Reduce surprises after it ships.

Generate precise delivery date promises when a business customer places an order — backed by ML models trained on your network's real performance. Set expectations you can keep on the parts, components, and replacement goods your customers are waiting on.

Delivery Date Enhancement

Tighter, more accurate delivery dates at every customer touchpoint.

Improve the delivery dates shown to business customers by combining your OMS inventory data with Shipium's transit prediction models. Upgrade dates from static, carrier-provided ranges to precise commitments.

Shipment Tracking

Real-time visibility into every shipment, across every carrier.

Unify tracking events across every carrier in your network into one standardized feed. Power customer notifications and exception handling with clean, standardized data — instead of stitching together carrier portals.

Route Optimization

Pick the right origin and time every shipment accurately.

Select the optimal fulfillment node for every order across your multi-node network — balancing inventory, carrier availability, cost, and SLA. Handles splits, pre-commit routing, and origin re-selection when upstream conditions change.

Rating Engine

Optimize every carrier decision — and protect margin — at the moment of shipment.

Score every available service against cost, speed, and SLA at shipment time. Apply your own carrier-selection and markup rules. Downgrade air to ground whenever SLAs will hold.

Label Engine

Print labels for every carrier, every service, and every compliance requirement — including hazmat shipments and offline scenarios. Built to handle volume without falling down.

Carrier Load Management

Balance volume across carriers in real time.

Shift volume across carriers dynamically based on capacity, performance, and contract commitments — including the regional and industry-specific carriers you're adding to the mix. Prevent over-allocation to any one carrier. Stay inside your negotiated rate brackets.

Pack Station

Standardize pack workflows across nodes and business units.

A pack station UI that works across warehouses, nodes, and business unit setups. Drive consistent pack quality, capture accurate dims and weights at source, and reduce downstream billing disputes and chargebacks.

Ship-from-Store

Turn branches and distribution points into fulfillment nodes without a rebuild.

Enable fulfillment from branches, depots, or distribution points with the same rules, rate shopping, and label engine your warehouses use. Orchestrate the site → carrier handoff without bolting on a separate system.

Address Validation

Catch bad addresses before they become failed deliveries or exception costs.

Avoid address correction surcharges, failed deliveries, and return-to-sender fees — which compound across volume and disrupt the customers depending on your shipments.

Dropshipping

Run vendor-fulfilled orders through the same shipping system.

Extend Shipium's rating, labeling, and tracking to supplier and distributor partners so vendor-fulfilled orders hit the same SLAs and cost thresholds as your own shipments.

Mode Optimization

Pick parcel vs. LTL automatically.

Evaluate whether parcel or LTL delivers the best cost-to-SLA outcome and route accordingly — important when your shipments span small parcels and heavier, palletized loads.

Zone Skipping

Move volume injected closer to destination.

Consolidate shipments destined for the same region, line-haul them to an injection point, and hand off to the carrier for final-mile — collapsing zones and cutting cost on high-volume lanes.

Packaging Optimization

Reduce DIM weight charges. Standardize packaging by SKU.

Recommend the right box for every order based on SKU dimensions, shipment composition, and carrier DIM rules. Cut dimensional weight charges and reduce packaging waste at the same time.

International Shipping

Ship cross-border without a cross-border team.

Pre-integrated international carrier network including Passport, Asendia, and regional specialists. Handle duties, landed cost, and compliance documentation without building custom connections per lane.

Billing Management

Allocate shipping cost accurately across business units — or bill downstream customers faster.

Generate invoices and cost allocations from real shipment data — with fully-loaded costs, markup rules, and accessorial handling already applied. Tie shipping spend back to finance, by business unit.

Invoice Management

Reconcile carrier invoices against expected charges.

Ingest carrier invoices via API, EDI, or file transfer. Match line items against shipment-time rates. Flag discrepancies down to the accessorial. Recover surcharge overcharges that today slip through and erode margin.

Digital Twin

A live model of your network.

Every shipment, carrier decision, rate, and outcome in your network — continuously modeled across business units. Digital Twins power ML optimization, make Simulation possible, and ensure Orca AI Analytics are accurate and actionable.

Rules Engine
