Ecommerce Brands Transform Their Businesses with Shipium
Compete, win, and retain new customers
Whether you’re looking to increase shipping speed, offer a delivery promise on your site, or consistently hit delivery dates to create more brand loyalty, use Shipium to enhance your customer experience and set yourself apart from the competition.
Reduce fulfillment costs across the board
Shipium customers are reducing costs by 12% on average through smarter route planning, packaging optimization, carrier & service selection, inventory placement and more.
Measure and optimize parcel shipping performance
Use a combination of descriptive and predictive analytics to understand what’s happening in your network and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
Real-time delivery promises
Use a data-driven approach to offer competitive delivery promises on your PDPs and checkout pages. Shipium’s ML-powered platform predicts delivery dates with 99.1% accuracy, ensuring that you’re making promises your network can support.
Delivery transparency
Use Shipium to standardize event updates across every carrier in your network — then create a transparent experience using your preferred interface (like tracking pages or notification emails). Less WISMO tickets, happier customers.
Fully-loaded rate shopping
Rate shopping using individual carrier APIs can lead to suboptimal selection if surcharges aren’t included. Accurately rate shop across carriers by accounting for those surcharges (fuel, seasonality etc.) so you’re comparing complete costs — and use a single API to do it.
Intelligent service downgrades
Consistently leverage non-guaranteed service methods that will still meet your delivery dates, rather than relying on carrier-provided SLAs and defaulting to premium offerings.
Package optimization & split reduction
CDefine your most commonly used packaging types, then receive packaging recommendations using estimated dimensions and weights before orders are dropped to reduce splits and consolidate whenever possible.

Carrier expansion analysis
Simulate historical shipments with new carriers and methods to understand cost and performance impact — then make informed decisions about how to optimize your carrier mix.
Network expansion analysis
Use Shipium’s time-in-transit values to see how fulfillment plans would be impacted if you added a new warehouse, changed the timing of shipments being dropped to facilities, or worked with a 3PL to manage growing volume.
