Shipping software that ships for less — and earns you more.

Teamship is multi-carrier shipping software that rate-shops every US and Canada carrier, auto-generates labels and BOLs, and lets 3PLs mark up freight and bill against prepaid balances — all from one screen.

The problem

Shipping is a cost center — until it isn't

For most 3PLs, freight leaks money in four places. Teamship closes all four at the point of ship.

Overpaying carriers

Shipping on one carrier or a habit means leaving cheaper rates on the table every day.

Teamship: rate-shop US & Canadian carriers.

Manual BOLs & docs

Rekeying bills of lading and manifests by hand is slow and full of errors.

Teamship: auto-generate BOLs, custom per client.

Freight isn't margin

Passing carrier costs straight through leaves an obvious revenue line untouched.

Teamship: advanced rate markup on every shipment.

Cash flow at risk

Fronting freight on client credit ties up cash and invites bad debt.

Teamship: collect against prepaid client balances.

Everything the ship dock needs

Rate, label, document, and manifest — across carriers, warehouses, and borders.

Multi-carrier rate shopping

Compare live rates across your connected US and Canada carriers and ship the best every time.

Shipping & retail labels

Generate carrier shipping labels plus custom outbound labels for brick-and-mortar retail compliance.

BOL generation

Automate bill-of-lading generation, with a custom BOL configuration per customer, and client access.

Shipment manifests

Build end-of-day manifests for carrier pickup in a click, across every shipment.

International shipping

Ship cross-border with automated customs documentation built into the flow.

Multi-warehouse shipping

Ship from any node, with consistent carrier and document logic across every facility.

Inter-node inventory transfers

Move stock between warehouses in a multi-node organization with full tracking.

EDI integrations

Trade documents electronically with retail partners through built-in EDI integrations.

Turn the ship dock into a profit center

Two capabilities change the economics of shipping for a 3PL: what you charge for freight, and when you collect it.

Advanced rate markup

Freight becomes a margin line, not a pass-through

Set flexible markup rules and Teamship adds your margin to carrier rates automatically at ship time. You still ship the cheapest carrier: you just capture the spread on every parcel and pallet.

  • Flexible rules: markup by client, carrier, service, or weight.
  • Applied automatically: no manual math at the dock.
  • Flows to billing: the marked-up charge lands on the client's invoice.
Shipping charge · Order #122
Carrier rate (Canada Post)$7.90
Rate markup · +30%+ $2.40
Billed to client$10.30
Prepaid balances

Protect your cash flow

Have clients fund a prepaid balance, and Teamship draws shipping and service charges from it as orders ship. You collect for freight before it leaves the dock: no fronting carrier costs, no chasing invoices.

  • Auto-drawdown: charges deduct from the balance in real time.
  • Low-balance controls: top-up prompts before it runs dry.
  • Client portal: customers view balances and access their BOLs.

Frequently asked questions

What is multi-carrier shipping software?

Multi-carrier shipping software connects a warehouse to many carriers at once, compares their live rates for each shipment (rate shopping), and generates the labels and documents needed to ship. Teamship supports carriers across the US and Canada.

Which carriers does Teamship support?

Teamship integrates with a wide range of US and Canada carriers. You can browse the full list on the integrations page, and rate-shop across all of your connected carriers on every shipment.

Does Teamship generate BOLs and manifests?

Yes. Teamship generates bills of lading (BOLs) and shipment manifests automatically. BOL configuration can be customized per customer, BOL generation can be fully automated, and clients can access their own BOLs through the portal.

Can I mark up shipping rates?

Yes. Teamship supports advanced rate markup, so 3PLs can add a configurable margin to carrier rates and turn shipping into a revenue line rather than a cost.

Does Teamship support international and multi-warehouse shipping?

Yes. Teamship supports international shipping with customs documentation, shipping from multiple warehouses, and inventory transfers between nodes in a multi-warehouse organization. EDI integrations are also supported for retail trading partners.

What are prepaid balances?

Prepaid balances let clients fund an account that shipping and service charges are drawn from as orders ship. It protects a 3PL's cash flow by collecting for freight up front instead of carrying it on credit.
