## The panel's verdict

nShift Group AB is judged as a multi-carrier delivery platform running behind the WMS and ERP it connects to, not a stock or warehouse system. Shipping and returns is the strongest area, built on rule-based carrier selection priced against the buyer's rate card or carrier API, customs documents with HS codes, branded tracking and a self-service returns portal with per-item reason and condition codes. Freight and transport scores 7 to 8, the lower marks reflecting no public information on tenders or eCMR-style documents, while integration and automation holds at 7 on 450+ maintained connectors with a REST API and an on-prem XML option. Weaknesses are structural: sovereignty records the floor and inventory control 0 to 2; no public information appears on hosting, subprocessors or certifications, and the stock record lives in the connected systems. Warehouse operations splits 2 to 4, higher marks crediting the packing-station label flow and returns scan, the low mark resting on that thin slice. The returns product publishes three tiers — Essential, Professional, Premium — with no figures.

**Speaks for it:**
- Shipping and returns is documented end to end — rule-based carrier selection on the buyer's imported rate card or carrier-API contracted rates, customs documents with HS codes and electronic submissions, branded tracking, and a self-service returns portal with per-item reason and condition codes.
- Freight covers road, sea and air with consolidation, pallet-level goods detail, inbound transport where suppliers book under the buyer's carrier contracts, spot prices, and a carrier-invoice audit that claims back overcharges.
- 450+ integrations are certified and actively maintained, naming real systems — Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite and Visma on ERP; Shopify, Magento and others on shops; WMS platforms including Blue Yonder, Ongoing and Infor WMS — with a REST API, an on-prem XML option and EDI connectivity.
- Pack confirmation triggers the carrier booking and labels print at the packing station in ZPL or PDF, with carrier status flowing back into the WMS.
- Emissions per shipment are calculated with an NTM-based method for European shipments, broken down by carrier, route and business unit, and feed sustainability reporting.

**Held against it:**
- The stock record lives in the WMS or ERP it connects to, with no public information on stock movements, bin locations, batches, serial numbers or reorder points (inventory control 0–2).
- No public information appears on hosting location, subprocessors, data processing agreements or security certifications, though recipient addresses flow to every carrier booked (sovereignty 0).
- We found no public information on webhooks, API rate limits and versioning, or a documented export of order and shipment history when the contract ends.
- We found no public information on tenders compared across many carriers, on eCMR or digital delivery notes, or on dock and yard booking, which held freight and transport at 7 to 8.
- The captured pages give different figures for connected carriers — over 1,000 in places, 240+ already connected on the transport page — so verify coverage for your own carriers.

**Best for:**
- You ship high parcel volumes across many carriers and want automatic carrier and service selection priced on your own negotiated rates, with customs paperwork and branded tracking in one flow.
- You run a heavy returns operation and want a branded self-service portal with rule-based fees and windows per market, reason and condition codes per item, and refunds that trigger automatically into your ERP or shop.
- You already run a WMS or ERP — Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite, Visma, Blue Yonder and Ongoing are among the 450+ integrations — and want a delivery layer that runs behind it rather than replacing it.
- You book road, sea and air freight and want carrier invoices audited against contracted rates plus per-shipment emissions on a named method feeding sustainability reporting.

**Avoid if:**
- You need stock control — bin locations, batches, serial numbers, reorder points — inside the shipping tool itself; the captured pages place the stock record in the WMS or ERP it connects to.
- You need the product to run your warehouse floor — goods receipt, putaway, scanner-guided picking — rather than sit behind an existing WMS, which is how the pages position it.
- You must have hosting location, the subprocessor list, a data processing agreement or security certifications documented before signing; the judges found no public information on these and advise demanding them in writing.
- Your signing checklist requires webhooks, published API rate limits and versioning, or a documented end-of-contract export of order and shipment history — the judges flagged each of these as unanswered here.

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The E-Commerce Operations Lead** (v1.0): Ships three hundred parcels a day from a shop, two marketplaces and a wholesale channel. Wants stock that is right on every channel so nothing is oversold, labels for four carriers printed in one batch, customs papers for Switzerland without retyping, and a returns portal that stops the support inbox filling up every January.
- **The Warehouse Manager** (v1.0): Runs two shifts in a four-thousand-square-metre warehouse with temps who start on Monday. Wants goods receipt against the purchase order, bin locations and scanner-guided picks a new hire gets right on day one, batch and best-before dates that are actually tracked, and pick and error rates per shift instead of a feeling.
- **The Transport Planner** (v1.0): Books forty pallets and three part loads a week for a machinery wholesaler, mostly by e-mail and phone. Wants quotes from several forwarders compared in one place, the agreed rates stored so invoices can be checked against them, eCMR instead of paper, and a CO2 figure per shipment the sustainability report can cite.
- **The Fulfilment Provider** (v1.0): Runs a 3PL warehouse with twenty-two client brands, each on a different shop system. Wants one WMS that keeps every client's stock and orders apart, connects to whatever shop the next client brings, ships on the client's own carrier contracts or the house rates, and turns picks, storage and packaging into a client invoice.
- **The IT & Integration Lead** (v1.0): Owns the ERP, the shop and the DATEV export for a mid-sized manufacturer, and gets the call when an order does not arrive in the warehouse. Wants a documented API and webhooks, EDI for the two retail chains, connectors the vendor actually maintains, a processor list for the recipient addresses, and a full export the day the contract ends.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen a "WMS" that was a stock column in a shop plugin and a "free" shipping tool that made its money on every label. Reads "integrates with everything" as a logo wall, asks whether own carrier contracts are allowed on the cheap tier, what the per-order fee is past the allowance, and how the order history leaves with you.
