Multi-Carrier Shipping Built for 3PLs


Zenventory connects your 3PL to 10+ carriers, rate-shops every shipment before the label prints, and consolidates all carrier billing in one place. No separate TMS or shipping software. No extra portals. Just more zen.

 

Zenventory WMS - 3PL Focused-Features (3)

10+ CARRIERS. ONE PLATFORM. 

Always get the best deal every time you ship

Get an average of 21% off your already-discounted rates and a 95%+ on-time delivery rate.  

Here's what shipping looks like when it runs inside your WMS

As a 3PL, you sit between demanding clients and carriers who don't return your calls. A missed pickup isn't an operational hiccup, it's a credibility crisis with a brand you spent months landing. Many shipping software solutions fail to understand this. Zenventory does.

Before any label prints, Zenventory checks every connected carrier against your configured rules. The qualifying option with the lowest rate wins. Your staff does not choose a carrier. The system does.

Carrier tiers for every shipment type
Carrier tiers for every shipment type

Not every package needs UPS Next Day. Not every client accepts a 6-day transit. Zenventory's carrier tiers let you route by service level, cost target, and client requirement — set once, applied to every shipment automatically.

One invoice for all 10+ carriers

All carrier billing flows into a single Zenventory view. Residential vs. commercial misclassifications are flagged. Overcharges are surfaced. Month-end carrier reconciliation goes from a four-hour exercise to a 20-minute review.

Return labels at your outbound rates

Zenventory vs. the competition

 

Zenventory Vs. Competitors V3 (2)

Generic discount rates are fast ... ours are better

If you've looked at other shipping platforms, you've seen how fast it is to get access to discounted shipping rates. Click a button, get a rate card, start shipping. That speed is real.

What you're getting with those platforms is a pre-set, off-the-shelf discount tier. The same rates available to thousands of other accounts. Built for volume across a broad mix of businesses, not negotiated around yours.

ZenShip works differently. We negotiate custom rates specifically for our customers, exclusively available through our built-in shipping module, ZenShip. And unlike what you might expect for "custom rates," you're not waiting weeks. Most customers have the bulk of their rates in a day or two.
