Shipping Management Software for Complete Operational Control

SmartConsign brings your shipping operation together in one cloud-native parcel shipping platform. Manage orders, carriers, shipment processing, tracking and delivery through a connected system built for eCommerce and multi-carrier operations.

From order creation to proof of delivery and reporting, the software gives businesses across the UK and Ireland greater control over the complete shipment lifecycle.

Multi Carrier Dispatch System

Exceeding customer expectations at the front end depends on having the right processes behind the scenes.

SmartConsign gives you the shipping management software and operational tools to manage parcel deliveries across multiple carriers without relying on separate systems for each part of the journey.

Connect your commerce and fulfilment systems, automate operational decisions and manage dispatch through one platform. With carrier-neutral technology, you retain the flexibility to work with your preferred carriers without lock-in.

Bring Your Own Carrier Accounts

Keep your existing carrier contracts, negotiated rates and relationships. Connect your preferred carrier accounts to SmartConsign and manage them alongside the rest of your shipping operation.

Bulk Batch Processing

Process high volumes of shipments through RapidX, SmartConsign’s batch processing engine.

RapidX can process more than 40,000 shipments per hour and up to 10,000 orders per file. Incoming data is validated as it enters the system, with error skip-over technology identifying invalid records while allowing valid shipments to continue processing.

One bad address doesn’t stop the batch.

smartconign-app
Mobile Shipping App

Take operational processes beyond the desktop with mobile functionality for collections, scanning, hub transfers, deliveries and proof of delivery.

Advanced Shipping Automation

Automating shipping doesn’t have to mean giving up control over how your operation works.

SmartConsign shipping automation software uses configurable rules to automate repeatable operational decisions. Apply your own logic to carrier and service selection, packaging, routing and shipment processing while retaining control over how those rules are configured.

Custom gazetteers also let you implement your own postcode structures, depots, service areas and routing logic.

For eCommerce businesses across the UK and Ireland, this provides a practical way to automate routine shipping activity while keeping operational decisions aligned with your requirements.

Manage More of Your Shipping Operation

Your shipping software should give you control over everyday configuration rather than turning every operational change into a support request.

Flexible User Management

Manage users, roles and permissions to give teams the access they need.

Typical shippers can manage everyday shipping processes without coding or specialist technical knowledge. For more advanced operations, 3PLs and carriers can manage their own customers, rates, users and operational settings, with walkthroughs and initial support available where needed.

When you do need help, the built-in support desk provides centralised ticketing, query management and team collaboration, backed by an experienced SmartConsign team.

E-Commerce Shipping Solutions That Connect Your Systems

SmartConsign connects the systems involved in taking an order from commerce through fulfilment to delivery.

Use the platform with eCommerce stores and marketplaces, ERP and business systems, WMS and fulfilment platforms, carriers and bespoke systems. Integration options include REST API, webhooks, SFTP and CSV/XLS.

Existing carrier and marketplace integrations can usually be live in minutes once the required credentials are available. In many cases, the longest wait is simply for the carrier or platform to issue the required API credentials or keys.

If you need a genuinely new integration, these are typically delivered in weeks, not months. This gives businesses in the UK and Ireland a flexible eCommerce shipping software platform that can adapt as channels, carriers and operational requirements change.

If the integration you need isn’t already available, the SmartConsign team can build it.

Expert Support Backed by Practical Shipping Technology

SmartConsign combines shipping automation software with the operational controls needed to manage the day-to-day reality of parcel shipping.

The platform is designed to give your team direct control, while expert support is available when you need help with your system or integrations.

“Flexible and fast carrier management solution. The solutions provided are fast, reliable and can operate at a huge scale. Most importantly, the team from support, through to development are professional and courteous and go out of their way to solve any problems we encountered with integrations etc. We have been able to shave off many hours every month from our end-to-end shipping process thanks to their toolset.”
