# Shipium named in 2026 Gartner® MCPMS Market Guide ## 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. - Automotive - Manufacturing - High tech ## 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. Enabled by - [Delivery Promise](https://www.shipium.com/solutions/delivery-promise) - [Rating Engine](https://www.shipium.com/solutions/rating-engine) - [Carrier Network](https://www.shipium.com/platform/carriers) - [Shipment Tracking](https://www.shipium.com/solutions/shipment-tracking) - [Address Validation](https://www.shipium.com/solutions/address-validation) ## 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. ### 01 #### 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. ### 02 #### 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. ### 03 #### 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. Enabled by - [Integration Framework](https://www.shipium.com/platform/integration) - [Rating Engine](https://www.shipium.com/solutions/rating-engine) - [Carrier Network](https://www.shipium.com/platform/carriers) ### 01 #### reliable, scalable ERP integration Modern shipping technology, integrated with your ERP 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. ### 02 #### advanced rate shopping for modern shipping complexity Compare every carrier on real constraints, not legacy rules. 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.

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. ### 02 #### Negotiate against total volume Hit contract tiers more intelligently. HOW IT WORKS Carrier Load Management monitors commitment status against negotiated tiers, and the Rating Engine factors tier-position into per-shipment routing decisions. ### 03 #### Replace the FP&A spreadsheet See cost-per-package by carrier, lane, origin and more. 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. ### 01 #### 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.

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.

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.

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. ## The proof is everywhere ### Carriers, partners, and analysts agree — Shipium is setting a new standard for fulfillment technology. Recognized as a leader and Cool Vendor in the Multi Carrier Parcel Management Solution space by analyst firm Gartner ## Built for your most pressing use cases ### See common challenges B2B operators are solving with Shipium ### Without Shipium Each business unit runs its own shipping stack. Procurement negotiates carrier contracts in isolation. Total shipping spend is reconstructed from invoices weeks after the fact. Operating standards drift across acquired companies. ### With Shipium One console replaces N TMSs. Carrier contracts cover total volume across business units. Rules and analytics are unified. Business units keep their own operational autonomy where it matters, but execution runs through one platform. ## Ready to see what intelligent shipping looks like for your business?
