Shipstore is a Liberty, Missouri-based shipping and logistics technology company founded in 2011 that specializes in unifying fragmented supply chain operations under a single platform. With 69 employees, the company has built a comprehensive solution that integrates order management systems (OMS), warehouse management systems (WMS), ERP platforms, and carrier workflows to eliminate the inefficiencies of managing multiple disparate systems. What sets Shipstore apart is their focus on intelligent automation and cost optimization through rule-driven workflows and advanced rate shopping capabilities. Their platform automatically compares rates across national and regional carriers, helps reduce peak-season surcharges, and identifies billing errors that can significantly impact shipping costs. The drag-and-drop interface for creating packing, routing, and shipping rules enables businesses to implement scalable automation in just weeks rather than months, making it particularly valuable for growing companies that need to streamline operations without extensive technical resources.
Shipstore emerged in 2011 with a clear mission: to solve the operational chaos that plagues modern supply chain management. Based in Liberty, Missouri, this 69-person technology company has developed a unified platform that addresses one of the most persistent pain points in logistics—the need to constantly switch between multiple systems to manage orders, inventory, and shipments.
At the core of Shipstore's offering is their ability to centralize OMS, WMS, ERP, and carrier workflows under one roof. This integration eliminates the time-consuming and error-prone practice of "portal hopping" that logistics professionals know all too well. Users can manage everything from order processing and inventory tracking to carrier selection and shipment tracking within a single interface, dramatically reducing the learning curve for staff and minimizing operational bottlenecks.
Shipstore's rate shopping engine automatically compares pricing across both national carriers like FedEx and UPS, as well as regional carriers that often provide better rates for specific lanes. The platform goes beyond simple rate comparison by actively working to reduce peak-season surcharges and quickly identifying billing errors—a feature that can save substantial amounts for high-volume shippers. This automated approach to cost management ensures that businesses are always getting the best possible rates without manual intervention.
Perhaps most importantly for scaling operations, Shipstore offers a drag-and-drop interface for creating sophisticated packing, routing, and shipping rules. This visual workflow builder allows businesses to implement complex automation logic without requiring extensive technical expertise or lengthy development cycles. Companies can typically deploy scalable automation in just weeks, enabling them to handle volume growth without proportional increases in labor costs.
Shipstore primarily serves growing e-commerce brands and 3PL providers who have outgrown basic shipping solutions but aren't ready for enterprise-level implementations that can take months or years to deploy. Their sweet spot includes companies processing hundreds to thousands of orders daily who need the operational efficiency of larger competitors but with the agility and quick implementation that smaller businesses require. The platform is particularly valuable for businesses experiencing seasonal volume spikes or rapid growth where manual processes quickly become unsustainable.
