Modernize Your Supply Chain with Shipium and Manhattan’s Integration Framework

The Manhattan integration framework refers to the structured set of APIs and tools that enable external systems to connect with Manhattan Active® solutions, including WMS, OMS, and TMS. 

Shipium supports the Manhattan integration framework through a cloud-native, API-first architecture that integrates seamlessly into your current stack without disrupting operations. 

Unlike legacy systems that require heavy IT involvement, Shipium leverages pre-built connectors, flexible APIs, and low-code configurations to accelerate deployment. Logistics leaders gain unified visibility across platforms, real-time decision-making for carrier selection, and dynamic fulfillment coordination.

Shipium’s platform integrates across Manhattan WMS, TMS, and OMS family of solutions. In addition, the platform integrates with all product versions. For example, for WMS, Shipium integrates with all WMI, WMOS, and Active WM versions.

Manhattan has an industry leading set of solutions on inventory positioning and other factors that go into fulfillment timing. Shipium’s sole focus is on transportation and the dynamic estimations associated to transit that might affect delivery promises. We augment Manhattan solutions by giving a real-estimates anywhere they are useful, such as how Active Omni provides customers EDDs, or Active WM does rate shopping based on date constraints.

Yes, Shipium provides a cost model across all carriers a Manhattan customer is using, and will do the rate shopping for carrier selection in memory on our cloud platform. This means we can provide a cost model to any Manhattan solution or product version.

A Manhattan Active multi-carrier shipping strategy frees logistics teams from static shipping rules and carrier lock-in. By using Shipium with Manhattan Active WMS or OMS, enterprises can route each order through the most cost-effective and performance-optimized carrier available, at scale. Benefits include:

• Reduced shipping costs through instant rate comparisons across national and regional carriers.
• Improved delivery SLAs by dynamically choosing carriers based on time-in-transit models and real-world performance data.
• Faster onboarding of new carriers, often in under 24 hours, avoiding the typical 4-6 month integration cycles.
• Mitigated risk during peak seasons by load-balancing shipments across multiple carriers, reducing dependency on a single provider.
• Support for sustainability and carbon impact goals by factoring in shipping distance, method, and consolidated shipment strategies.
