Flexible, scalable, and future-ready—ConnectShip delivers carrier-certified solutions that adapt to your business.



Our Legacy of Innovation

Since our founding in 1980, ConnectShip has been a driving force in the evolution of shipping software. We pioneered the first carrier-compliant multi-carrier technology long before the industry recognized the need. Our innovations laid the groundwork for what today's global shippers expect: seamless integrations, scalable automation, and unwavering compliance.

Our platform continues to evolve in direct partnership with the businesses we serve. ConnectShip maintains one of the industry's most extensive carrier libraries and expands it based on real customer demand—supporting the national, regional, and specialized carriers that matter most to their operations. This customer-driven approach ensures our technology grows with our customers, not around rigid provider roadmaps.

Whether you're optimizing high-volume warehouse operations or expanding across international markets, ConnectShip delivers the expertise, infrastructure, and partnerships to move your business forward.
We didn't just enter the shipping tech space—we helped define it.
ConnectShip was one of the first platforms to offer fully compliant, multi-carrier shipping solutions tailored to the complex needs of enterprise clients. In 2001, our acquisition by UPS strengthened our capabilities while preserving the platform-neutral flexibility that sets us apart.

Over the decades, we've continued to innovate—supporting integrations with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft, and countless proprietary systems. Today, our technology supports shipping from 200+ origin countries, ensuring speed, accuracy, and compliance across borders and carriers.

"Our mission is to provide best in class innovative supply chain solutions that create value and competitive advantages for our customers and our organization."
