Logistics & Supply Chain
Logistics Software Development Toronto — Automation That Replaces Manual Operations
We built Shipplx — a Purolator reseller SaaS that replaced fully manual shipping operations with self-serve automation. Rate shopping, label generation, tracking, and billing reconciliation — all automated. That's the standard we apply to every logistics engagement.
Logistics software that removes the manual work
Every logistics operation has manual steps that should be automated. Rate shopping calls, label printing queues, tracking email chases, and invoice reconciliation — we identify what's manual and replace it with software.
Carrier API Integration
Purolator, Canada Post, UPS, FedEx, DHL — API integration for rate shopping, label generation, pickup scheduling, and tracking. We know carrier API quirks and edge cases that documentation doesn't mention.
Rate Shopping & Optimization
Multi-carrier rate comparison with service level filtering, dimensional weight calculation, fuel surcharge handling, and rule-based carrier selection based on package attributes and destination.
Label Generation & Printing
Automated label generation in carrier-compliant formats, print queue management, batch processing for high-volume operations, and re-print workflows for exceptions.
Shipment Tracking & Notifications
Real-time tracking data aggregated from carrier APIs, customer-facing tracking pages, proactive exception alerts, and estimated delivery date updates.
Billing & Invoice Reconciliation
Automated reconciliation of carrier invoices against shipped orders, discrepancy flagging, volume discount tracking, and reporting for finance teams.
Warehouse Management Integration
Integration with warehouse management systems for order release, pick and pack confirmation, inventory adjustment, and shipment close-out.
Technology for logistics software
What logistics problem are you solving?
High-volume shippers
Too much manual work to process daily shipments
If your team is manually getting rates, printing labels, or reconciling carrier invoices — that's a software problem. We've built the automation that fixes it.
Ecommerce operators
Your shipping process doesn't scale with your order volume
As order volume grows, manual shipping processes become the bottleneck. We integrate carrier APIs into your ecommerce platform and automate the fulfilment workflow.
Carriers & resellers
Building a shipping platform as a product
We built Shipplx as a reseller SaaS — self-serve, multi-merchant, with automated billing. If you're building a similar platform, we have the architecture and the carrier API experience.
Frequently asked questions
How complex is Purolator API integration?
More complex than the documentation suggests. The SOAP-based API has quirks around address validation, postal code service availability, and return shipment handling that only surface in production edge cases. We've navigated all of them building Shipplx.
Can you integrate multiple carriers in the same platform?
Yes — that's what rate shopping requires. We normalize the API responses from each carrier into a consistent data model, handle the different authentication methods and rate structures, and present a unified interface.
How do you handle carrier invoice reconciliation?
We build a reconciliation pipeline: ingest carrier invoice data (usually CSV or EDI), match against shipped orders in our system, flag discrepancies where the invoiced amount differs from the quoted rate, and generate a report for finance. The flagged exceptions get reviewed; everything else is auto-approved.
Can you integrate shipping into our existing ecommerce platform?
Yes. We've integrated shipping APIs into Magento 2, custom ecommerce platforms, and order management systems. The integration covers: rate display at checkout, label generation at fulfilment, tracking number injection back into orders, and customer notification.
What's the typical timeline for a logistics software project?
A single-carrier integration (one carrier, rate shopping, label generation, basic tracking): 6–10 weeks. A full multi-carrier platform with billing, reconciliation, and customer portal: 4–7 months.
Do you have experience with cross-border shipping?
Yes. Canada-US shipping involves customs documentation, HS code classification, NAFTA/CUSMA certificates of origin, and broker integration. We've built cross-border shipping workflows that handle the documentation correctly.
