ShipBob WMS

ShipBob WMS is a warehouse management system designed for eCommerce brands that outsource fulfillment to ShipBob’s network of third-party warehouses.

It is tightly integrated with ShipBob’s fulfillment services and focuses on giving merchants operational visibility rather than deep, standalone warehouse customization.

Use cases

The platform centralizes inventory data across ShipBob facilities and sales channels, allowing teams to monitor stock levels, order status, and fulfillment performance from a single interface.

It's primarily used by small to mid-market D2C eCommerce businesses that want to avoid running their own warehouses while still maintaining control over inventory and shipping workflows.

Core functions

• Inventory management: ShipBob WMS tracks inventory by SKU across multiple fulfillment centers. Users can view available, committed, and incoming stock, and receive alerts when inventory falls below predefined thresholds. Inventory data syncs automatically with connected eCommerce platforms.
• OMS and fulfillment: Orders flow into the system from supported sales channels and are routed to the most appropriate ShipBob warehouse based on location and availability. The WMS supports standard pick, pack, and ship workflows, with order status updates visible in near real time.
• Distributed fulfillment: As the software is built around ShipBob’s warehouse network, it supports inventory placement across multiple regions. This enables faster delivery times for end customers and helps brands reduce shipping costs without managing warehouse logic themselves.

Implementation

As an out-of-the-box system, onboarding is structured around migrating inventory into ShipBob warehouses and connecting sales channels. As a result, setup is typically faster than implementing an independent WMS, but flexibility is limited to ShipBob’s predefined workflows.

The interface is designed for non-technical users, with most configuration handled through ShipBob’s support and onboarding teams rather than through in-app customization.

ShipBob's pricing model

ShipBob WMS is not sold as standalone software. Access to the system is bundled with ShipBob’s fulfillment services.

Costs are typically usage-based and may include storage, picking and packing, shipping, and additional service fees. Total cost can vary significantly depending on order volume, product characteristics, and warehouse locations.
