The story of ShipitSmarter
You ship hundreds of products to customers. Day after day after day, so you need to rely on efficient transportation. Perfectly timed too, as your market demands predictable lead times. And every mistake made eats into your profitability. ShipitSmarter condenses the growing complexity into one shipping tool, which has helped logistics managers for years to excel in their trade. Ship faster, cheaper and more efficiently? Ship. It. Smarter.

Smart can be this simple
With our online application, you have signed up to the smartest, independent solution for each and every shipment. All relevant variables are taken into account, from modality to lead time and from destination to weight. The best fitting option is immediately booked and prepared for transport, including the carrier label. That’s how simple smart can be! ShipitSmarter provides fast, tailored implementation. Training is delivered on the job as the software is easy to use for everyone.

Strategic sparring partner
At the cutting edge of logistics and ICT, ShipitSmarter has developed into a strategic sparring partner for shippers. Our knowledge not only helps them choose the right configuration, but we also continuously update the software as the functionality of the tool continues to grow. Changes in legislation are reflected immediately. Thus, ShipitSmarter provides you with confidence and at the same time delivers a solid financial gain.

Universal agility
We maintain good relationships with carriers. ShipitSmarter takes pride in its independence, so we will never articulate a preference. However, carriers know that the likes of ShipitSmarter have become a constant when it comes to the changing world of transportation. When shippers opt for multiple carriers, you might as well embrace it! And so carriers connect with us. This gives us great opportunities to expand ShipitSmarter's universal agility, but always within the boundaries of our independence.

Best in class
By listening to questions from the logistics marketplace and by using highly advanced technologies, our shipping management system has become best in class. This is powered by our curiosity and the urge to make the complex simple. Because that is the essence of ShipitSmarter: reducing the growing complexity of transport requirements into a comprehensive application.

Pioneers and visionaries
ShipitSmarter is built by pioneers and visionaries: they saw what others did not see: independent comparison of carriers, an insightful transport movement dashboard and efficient dispatch, connected by powerful ICT. In constant pursuit of perfection, this has been built and continuously improved since.
