FOR E-COMMERCE FULFILLMENT

You've outgrown your fulfillment software.

ShipHero and Extensiv got you started. But per-user fees, limited customization, and rising costs are holding you back. Your next WMS should be built around your operation — not the other way around.

THE PROBLEM

Why e-commerce fulfillment operations are overpaying for software

$3,250/mo

Per-user costs that scale against you

15 users at $150/user plus base subscription. Hire 10 seasonal pickers for Q4? Add $1,500/month for 4 months. Your software cost scales faster than your revenue.

40%

Features you pay for but never use

Enterprise multi-warehouse orchestration. Advanced wave planning. Labor management dashboards. You use 40% of what you pay for. The other 60% is shelfware subsidizing other customers.

48 hrs

Support that can't keep up

Basic support means 48-hour email response. For a fulfillment operation where a 2-hour outage means missed SLAs, that's not support — it's a liability.

THE SOLUTION

Fulfillment software that fits your operation exactly.

Custom-built WMS for e-commerce fulfillment. Pick, pack, ship workflows designed around how your warehouse actually works — with unlimited users, direct marketplace integrations, and AI-powered optimization.

Custom Pick Workflows

Single-order, batch, wave, or your own method. The system matches how your pickers actually work — not a generic template.

Direct Marketplace Integrations

Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, eBay — connected directly via API. No per-connector fees. Orders flow in real-time.

AI Pick Path Optimization

Intelligent routing that cuts picker travel by 25–40%. Same staff, 50% more orders per day.

Carrier Rate Shopping

UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL — compare rates across carriers automatically. Pick the cheapest option that meets the delivery promise.

Returns Processing

Automated return categorization, condition grading, and disposition routing. Process returns at half the cost.

Real-Time Dashboard

Orders in queue, picks in progress, shipments completed, error rates — everything your ops team needs on one screen.
