Covering the key issues faced by businesses selecting and implementing WMS.

1. Flexport

Flexport delivers real-time shipment tracking and expert support. Its cloud-based logistics platform gives you end-to-end visibility of global shipments from booking freight to analyzing routes and costs.

Now serving over 40,000 customers across 100+ countries, its intuitive dashboard accelerates onboarding for teams moving into global freight.
Flexport also integrates with leading WMS platforms, enabling retailers and 3PLs to connect inventory and shipping workflows in one system.

That means purchase orders, warehouse stock levels, and shipment statuses are automatically synced, cutting out duplicate data entry.

2. Veeqo

Veeqo unifies order, inventory, and shipping management in a sleek dashboard. It syncs across warehouses and online marketplaces, optimizes picking and packing, and ensures accurate inventory (especially when scaling across platforms such as Shopify and Amazon).

Because Veeqo acts as both an OMS and a shipping tool, it integrates tightly with warehouse processes. Pickers can scan items via mobile devices, update stock instantly, and push data back into the WMS, ensuring that shipping and inventory stay perfectly aligned.

3. Augment

Augment's introduction of Augie (an AI assistant built to tackle logistics workflows), launched by the founder of Deliverr, automates routine tasks like emails, Slack messages, calls, and workflows, helping shippers, brokers, and carriers navigate fragmentation with ease.

It’s already managing workflows for companies handling $20 billion in freight, making it one of the most promising AI-focused logistics startups today.

While Augment isn’t a WMS itself, it connects with warehouse systems through APIs. This means warehouse staff can use natural language queries (“What’s left in stock at Chicago?”) and receive instant answers powered by live WMS data.

4. Floship

Floship offers seamless global fulfillment from Hong Kong with transparent pricing for storage, picking, and shipping.

Operating for over 800 e-commerce and crowdfunding brands, it gives you warehouse-level clarity on inventory and delivery performance.

Floship’s fulfillment tech integrates directly with WMS tools, automatically updating stock counts as items are picked, packed, and shipped. That level of visibility reduces mispicks and ensures your WMS always reflects real-time order status.

5. Packfleet

Packfleet is a carbon-neutral courier operating in the UK using electric vehicles. It combines real-time tracking, route optimization, and sustainability, delivering a scalable, eco-friendly service tailored to small businesses and urban deliveries.

For retailers running their own warehouses, Packfleet integrates through APIs that sync directly with a WMS or OMS, making it simple to push delivery jobs into the courier network without leaving the warehouse platform.

6. project44

project44 connects shippers, carriers, and 3PLs via live freight data. Its intelligent TMS offers AI-powered quote-to-book workflows across road, rail, air, and ocean, improving on-time delivery and visibility.

Named one of the most innovative logistics platforms, it's fast becoming the API of choice for supply chain automation.

Crucially, project44 offers connectors to many popular WMS and ERP systems. This makes it easy for warehouses to access carrier data, ETAs, and exceptions directly within their WMS dashboards, without jumping between systems.

7. Shippo

Shippo offers a multi-carrier API and web app that simplifies shipping across global carriers. It handles label generation, customs docs, and tracking in one place. Integrations with Shopify, Amazon, and eBay make it a developer-friendly tool for merchants looking to streamline fulfillment.

Shippo also integrates with warehouse management software via APIs, pushing tracking updates, label confirmations, and carrier data into WMS records. This keeps warehouse teams and front-end order systems aligned, reducing manual data entry and errors.
