When Production Lines Run, Logistics Must Keep Pace

Manufacturers face unforgiving stakes: global disruptions, rising transportation costs, labor constraints, and escalating customer expectations for speed and accuracy. Each inbound shipment is a potential production bottleneck; every missed delivery risks breaching contracts and damaging your company’s reputation.

Logistics teams in the manufacturing space share similar shipment challenges:

Blind spots across inbound & outbound freight

Siloed systems from plant to warehouses to carriers

Manual booking, tracking, and document handling

Rising freight costs and unpredictable spot market rates

No way to track or benchmark carrier performance

Tools that can’t support multi-site or growing operations

Operational excellence extends beyond the assembly line. It demands end-to-end control, from shipment visibility, automated workflows, to actionable performance insights, so your delivery record matches the quality standards you build into every product.

One Platform. End-to-End Control.

Shipwell’s TMS unifies planning, execution, visibility, analytics, and settlement—delivering the same operational rigor as a quality control lab. 

Run your logistics with the precision of a lean manufacturing cell, eliminating the waste of fragmented tools and manual workarounds.

Real-Time Visibility & Predictive Insights

Predictive ETAs and automated alerts flag disruptions before they become production stoppages, keeping lines running and so you can keep your lines running and your customers satisfied.

Workflow Automation That Frees Up Your Team

Manual shipment booking and document handling are as outdated as clipboard checklists on the shop floor.

Shipwell automates repetitive tasks—booking, document classification, carrier communication, invoice reconciliation, and exception management—so your team can focus on throughput, not paperwork.

Manufacturers often leave 15-30% in freight costs on the table due to inefficient freight procurement.

Automated RFP workflows and mode optimization give you granular control over freight spend, ensuring every lane and carrier is benchmarked for cost and reliability.
