-
Powerful integrated despatch functionality at scale
Connect your systems to Shipmate and benefit from integrated delivery routing, shipment booking, parcel labelling, delivery tracking and more. Shipmate becomes part of your existing workflow allowing you to run a despatch operation at scale.
-
Dozens of carriers, hundreds of services in a single API
You could spend weeks integrating each carrier individually with countless testing iterations prior to sign-off. Or get up and running with all your carriers in as little as an afternoon by using our simple API, backed by helpful documentation and developer tools.
-
Focus on your business, not carrier integrations
Carriers frequently update their systems in-line with regulatory requirements and to keep on top of technological advancements. We maintain these integrations so you don't have to - so you can instead focus on running and growing your business.
-
Benefit from advanced functionality and new features
Our API-first approach means you can benefit from new feature releases early to get the most out of your Shipmate account. Advanced custom fields, data mappings, routing rules and more provide a tighter integration between systems.
Seamless integration with your infrastructure
Use the Shipmate API to automate your despatch process seamlessly across your organisation with direct data feeds.
Label printing can be managed through your application via PDF or ZPL, or using our Desktop Printer App, with the ability to state which printer each label is sent to.
Order statuses can be updated using tracking information via Webhooks, so your system is updated as soon as we receive updates from the carrier.
Hundreds of carrier services - one point of integration
Get to market. Fast.
Carrier-approved integrations that are ready to use reduces your time to market broadening your product’s fulfilment capability.

Simple data feeds
RESTful API and webhooks let you push Order and Shipment data into Shipmate, and receive tracking updates as soon as we do.
Focus on your core
Maintaining carrier integrations is a full time responsibility and we have that covered, allowing you to focus on delivering your core offering to its best potential.
You're doing a lot. Let us help with that
"We let Shipmate worry about carrier integrations, whilst we sell worldwide. In practical terms, integrate once with Shipmate, let them code and maintain the APIs, and ship with all the carriers of your choice. If you want to change to a new carrier integration, it’s a support request, not an internal development project."
