For Healthcare & Life Sciences operators
Fast, reliable,
cost-effective shipping
Operators use Shipium to optimize shipping outcomes using data, AI, and an intuitive platform.
The shift
The last mile wasn't built for this
Your logistics technology was designed for a world of distribution-to-dispenser shipments on predictable lanes. That world has changed fast. Here's how Shipium helps you keep up.
01
Customer expectations
Patients now behave like consumers
Today, patients expect retail-like online experiences complete with promise dates, tracking, and proactive notifications.
How Shipium helps
Delivery Promise presents an exact delivery date at checkout, refill, or order entry. Shipment Tracking consolidates carrier events into a single standardized stream. Patients get the experience they expect; operations gets a promise that holds.
How Shipium helps
Delivery Promise models exact dates using ML-powered time-in-transit predictions. Rating Engine then selects the most cost-effective carrier service to meet the promise date.
How Shipium helps
Rating Engine compares carriers on fully-loaded cost across nationals, regionals, and specialty providers; ML delivery dates used for rate shopping account for historical performance. Carrier Load Management dynamically balances volume across carriers. Orca AI Analytics surfaces performance insights that ensure you have the right carrier mix for temperature-sensitive shipments.
04
Operating model
The decision layer hasn't kept up
HLS operators increasingly run multiple shipping systems across acquired subsidiaries, geographies, and channels. There’s often no single source of truth for rates, rules, performance, or spend. Operators have limited contol. Finance can't see what's actually happening.
How Shipium helps
The Shipium Console centralizes shipping configuration across warehouses, channels, and geographies. Orca AI Analytics gives operators and finance a shared view of carrier performance, surcharge attribution, and origin economics.

Simulation
Prove the savings before you commit the budget.
Model the impact of a newly acquired business unit, a new carrier mix, or a network change against your real shipment history before you commit. Used to build the internal business case for procurement and finance. Used in ops to stress-test capacity ahead of a product launch or demand surge.
Orca AI Analytics
Spot margin erosion across business units before it becomes a quarterly problem.
See carrier performance, lane economics, and shipping cost by business unit in real time vs. a monthly report — the visibility most HLS networks lack today. Powered by an AI analytics engine purpose-built for shipping data, with natural language querying for custom visualizations and deeper analysis.
Delivery Promise
Show accurate dates when the order is placed. Reduce surprises after it ships.
Generate precise delivery date promises when a patient or provider places an order — backed by ML models trained on your network's real performance. Support conversion on patient-direct orders and set expectations you can keep on time-sensitive shipments.
Delivery Date Enhancement
Tighter, more accurate delivery dates at every patient and provider touchpoint.
Improve the delivery dates shown to patients and providers by combining your OMS inventory data with Shipium's transit prediction models. Upgrade dates from static, carrier-provided ranges to precise commitments.
Shipment Tracking
Real-time visibility into every shipment, across every carrier.
Unify tracking events across every carrier in your network into one standardized feed. Power patient and provider notifications and exception handling with clean data — instead of stitching together carrier portals.
Route Optimization
Pick the right fulfillment node and time every shipment accurately.
Select the optimal fulfillment node for every order across your multi-node network — balancing inventory, carrier availability, cost, and SLA. Handles splits, pre-commit routing, and origin re-selection when upstream conditions change.
Rating Engine
Optimize every carrier decision — and protect margin — at the moment of shipment.
Score every available service against cost, speed, and SLA at shipment time. Apply your own carrier-selection and markup rules. Downgrade air to ground whenever SLAs will hold.
Label Engine
Generate compliant labels at scale, including offline scenarios.
Print labels for every carrier, every service, and every compliance requirement — including hazmat shipments and offline scenarios. Built to handle volume without falling down.
Carrier Load Management
Balance volume across carriers in real time.
Shift volume across carriers dynamically based on capacity, performance, and contract commitments — including the regional and healthcare-capable carriers you're adding to the mix. Prevent over-allocation to any one carrier. Stay inside your negotiated rate brackets.
Pack Station
Standardize pack workflows across nodes and business units.
A pack station UI that works across warehouses, nodes, and business unit setups. Drive consistent pack quality, capture accurate dims and weights at source, and reduce downstream billing disputes and chargebacks.
Ship-from-Store
Turn pharmacies, branches, or depots into fulfillment nodes without a rebuild.
Enable fulfillment from pharmacies, branches, or clinic sites with the same rules, rate shopping, and label engine your warehouses use. Orchestrate the site → carrier handoff without bolting on a separate system.
Address Validation
Catch bad addresses before they become failed deliveries or exception costs.
Avoid address correction surcharges, failed deliveries, and return-to-sender fees — which matter even more on patient-direct shipments, and compound across volume.
Dropshipping
Run vendor-fulfilled orders through the same shipping system.
Extend Shipium's rating, labeling, and tracking to supplier and manufacturer partners so vendor-fulfilled orders hit the same SLAs and cost thresholds as your own shipments.
Mode Optimization
Pick parcel vs. LTL vs. freight automatically.
Evaluate whether parcel or LTL delivers the best cost-to-SLA outcome and route accordingly across high-volume lanes.
Zone Skipping
Move volume injected closer to destination.
Consolidate shipments destined for the same region, line-haul them to an injection point, and hand off to the carrier for final-mile — collapsing zones and cutting cost on high-volume lanes.
Packaging Optimization
Reduce DIM weight charges. Standardize packaging by SKU.
Recommend the right box for every order based on SKU dimensions, shipment composition, and carrier DIM rules. Cut dimensional weight charges and reduce packaging waste at the same time.
International Shipping
Ship cross-border without a cross-border team.
Pre-integrated international carrier network including Passport, Asendia, and regional specialists. Handle duties, landed cost, and compliance documentation without building custom connections per lane.
Billing Management
Allocate shipping cost accurately across business units — or bill downstream customers faster.
Generate invoices and cost allocations from real shipment data — with fully-loaded costs, markup rules, and accessorial handling already applied. Tie shipping spend back to finance, by business unit.
Invoice Management
Reconcile carrier invoices against expected charges.
Ingest carrier invoices via API, EDI, or file transfer. Match line items against shipment-time rates. Flag discrepancies down to the accessorial. Recover surcharge overcharges that today slip through and erode margin.
Digital Twin
A live model of your network.
Every shipment, carrier decision, rate, and outcome in your network — continuously modeled across business units. Digital Twins power ML optimization, make Simulation possible, and ensure Orca AI Analytics are accurate and actionable.
Rules Engine
Configure global and business-unit-specific logic without an IT ticket.
A universal rules engine that sits under every shipping decision — carrier selection, packaging, labeling, routing. Your supply chain team changes logic from the console — no service orders, no waiting on internal IT.
Console
Centralized control across every shipping decision.
One interface to manage business units, carriers, rules, rates, and analytics. Replaces the disconnected mix of carrier portals, rate cards, and the multiple TMS systems most HLS networks have accumulated through M&A.
Carrier Network
60+ pre-integrated carriers. 200+ service methods.
Nationals, regionals, internationals, and alternatives — all pre-integrated and ready to configure. When your network needs a new regional, an alternative carrier, or one of the healthcare-specific services carriers are rolling out, you add it in days, not weeks.
Integration Framework
Get the most from your current stack.
Configuration-ready integration frameworks with the WMS, OMS, and ERP systems HLS companies depend on — SAP, Oracle, Blue Yonder, Manhattan, Körber, and more. No integration issues with the systems you already run.
ML Models
The intelligence layer under every Shipium decision.
Purpose-built ML models trained on the industry's largest shipping dataset — powering accurate delivery promises, optimal carrier selection, and the predictive analytics your team runs every day.
