Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The IT & Integration Lead

Weighted verdict

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.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Inventory & stock control

How this is scored

Whether the stock figure can be trusted: every goods receipt, sale, transfer, return and correction booked as a movement, stock per location and channel, batches, serial numbers and best-before dates where the goods need them, reorder points and purchase orders, and stock synchronised to every sales channel so nothing is oversold.

0 — No stock keeping; quantities live in the shop or in a spreadsheet.

3 — A stock number per product that can be edited by hand, with no movement history, no locations and no link to purchasing.

5 — Stock per product and warehouse updated by orders and goods receipts, synchronised to the connected sales channels, with low-stock alerts and purchase orders to suppliers.

8 — Every movement booked with a reason and a user, stock per bin location, batches, serial numbers and expiry dates tracked, stocktaking (cycle or annual) supported, bundles and kits resolved to components, and reorder suggestions from sales history.

10 — The stock record is an audit-proof ledger: complete movement history exportable, inventory valuation method stated (FIFO, average cost), multi-warehouse and multi-entity stock with transfers in transit, demand forecasting documented, and the stock figure reconciled across every channel in near real time.

Report an error

The IT & Integration Lead

nShift is a delivery-management layer rather than a stock system: its own pages describe it running invisibly behind WMS platforms, so the stock record lives in the warehouse system it connects to. The only stock-adjacent facts are a returns scan tool showing item-level data with restock status visible. We found no public information on stock movements, bin-level stock, batches, serial numbers, reorder points or channel synchronisation. 2 4 6

Warehouse operations: receiving, picking & packing

How this is scored

The physical work in the warehouse: goods receipt against a purchase order, putaway to bin locations, picking strategies (single order, batch, wave, zone), scanner and mobile app guidance, packing with checks, and the performance figures a warehouse lead runs the shift by.

0 — No warehouse process support; staff print the order and walk.

3 — A pick list or packing slip printed per order, with no bin locations, no scanning and no check that the right item went into the box.

5 — Bin locations, goods receipt against purchase orders, pick lists sorted by route, and barcode scanning on a phone or scanner to confirm picks and packs.

8 — Several picking strategies (batch, wave, multi-order trolley), putaway suggestions, packing with weight or scan verification, handheld scanner support named, and pick, pack and error rates reported per user and shift.

10 — A full WMS documented end to end: slotting and replenishment, cross-docking, multi-client operation for 3PLs with client billing, integration with automation (conveyors, pick-to-light, AutoStore or similar) named, and offline-tolerant mobile apps with an audit trail of every scan.

Report an error

The IT & Integration Lead

Orders flow into pick, pack and print workflows in the connected WMS, labels print at the packing station in ZPL or PDF when the order ID is entered or scanned, and pack confirmation triggers the carrier booking, with the returns module adding a warehouse scan tool and return pre-notification. We found no public information on putaway, bin locations or picking strategies; those live in the WMS nShift sits behind. 2 4 6

Multi-carrier shipping & returns

How this is scored

Getting parcels out and back: carriers connected, label creation in bulk, rules that pick the carrier and service, customs documents for non-EU destinations, tracking and the notifications the recipient sees, a returns portal, and whether the customer uses its own carrier contracts or buys labels through the vendor.

0 — No shipping features; labels come from each carrier's own portal.

3 — Labels for one or two carriers created one by one, with no rules, no tracking for the recipient and no returns handling.

5 — Several carriers connected with bulk label printing, a choice between own carrier contracts and vendor rates, tracking numbers written back to the shop, and a basic returns label flow.

8 — Shipping rules by weight, destination, value and channel choose carrier and service automatically, customs documents (CN22/CN23, commercial invoice, EORI, HS codes) generated, branded tracking pages and notifications, a self-service returns portal with reasons, and pickup points supported.

10 — Shipping runs without a person: rate comparison across carriers at label time, own contracts for every connected carrier, delivery promise and checkout options from live carrier data, returns with refund or exchange triggered on receipt, and carrier performance and cost reported per lane.

Report an error

The IT & Integration Lead

This is the heart of the product and it is documented deeply: more than a thousand carrier connections across roughly 190 countries plus 70+ pickup-point networks, shipping rules comparing real-time rates against the customer's own rate card or carrier API, customs documents with HS codes and electronic submissions, branded tracking with consolidated events, and a self-service returns portal where the warehouse scan triggers automated refunds and VAT-synced exchanges back into the ERP or shop. Checkout shows delivery options, estimated delivery and pickup points natively in the storefront. Analytics cover delivery times, cost per shipment and service-level adherence by carrier and route. 1 2 3 4 7

Freight & transport management

How this is scored

Moving goods beyond parcels: pallet, groupage, full and part truckload, sea and air freight booked with carriers or forwarders, quotes and tenders compared, transport orders and documents (CMR, eCMR, delivery notes), shipment tracking across modes, freight cost audit, and CO2 emissions reported per shipment.

0 — No freight features; pallets and trucks are booked by phone and e-mail.

3 — A form to send a booking request to one forwarder, or freight rates shown without booking, tracking or documents.

5 — Pallet and groupage shipments booked with several carriers from one place, prices compared, transport documents generated, and the shipment status tracked.

8 — Spot quotes and tenders sent to many carriers with responses compared, the customer's own freight agreements and rate tables stored, eCMR or digital delivery notes, multi-modal tracking, freight invoices checked against the agreed price, and CO2 per shipment reported to a named standard (GLEC, ISO 14083).

10 — Transport management run in the system: route and load planning, dock and yard slot booking, carrier scorecards, freight cost allocated to orders and cost centres, and a carrier network that connects by API or EDI rather than by e-mail.

Report an error

The IT & Integration Lead

The transport-management pages document booking across road, sea and air with the customer's own tariffs via Libello or carrier API, spot prices per consignment, goods detail down to the pallet, inbound transport where suppliers book under the buyer's contracts, and multi-modal tracking across parcel, freight and ocean. Freight invoices are checked against contracted rates through the Cost module, emissions per shipment are calculated on an NTM basis, and costs are allocated to cost centres. We found no public information on tenders, eCMR or digital delivery notes, or dock and yard management. 1 3 5

Integrations, automation & exit

How this is scored

How the tool fits the business around it: maintained connectors to shop systems, marketplaces, ERP and accounting (DATEV and the like), a documented API and webhooks, EDI for retail and logistics partners, rules that automate order routing and status updates, and a documented export of orders, stock and shipment history when the customer leaves.

0 — No integrations; orders are typed in or uploaded by hand.

3 — A CSV import and export and one or two shop connectors, with no API and no automation.

5 — Connectors to the main shop systems and marketplaces, a public API with documentation, and rules for common automations (order status, carrier choice, notifications).

8 — A broad connector list with ERP and accounting exports, webhooks, EDI (EDIFACT or similar) supported or offered through a named partner, rule engines for order routing across warehouses, and the API rate limits and versioning documented.

10 — The tool is an open part of the stack: every object readable and writable by API, a developer sandbox, connectors maintained by the vendor with a stated support policy, and a complete data export (orders, stock movements, shipments, documents) in open formats documented for the end of the contract.

Report an error

The IT & Integration Lead

From my desk this is strong: documented REST (APIConnect) and on-premises XML (OnlineConnect) APIs, EDI connectivity to carriers, and 450+ connectors spanning shops, ERP and WMS — Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite, Visma, Blue Yonder and more — with a stated commitment that every integration is actively maintained and validated through a certified partner program. Automation is concrete: order confirmation triggers booking and label creation, pack confirmation triggers the carrier booking, and carrier status flows back into the WMS. We found no public information on webhooks by name, API rate limits and versioning, a developer sandbox, or a documented export of data at the end of the contract. 2 3 5 6 7

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where order, customer and shipment data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, carriers' label APIs, payment, e-mail, analytics). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; recipient addresses flow to every connected carrier, so the processing chain counts, not only the server.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no privacy policy that covers the service.

3 — A privacy policy exists, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the processors behind the service are not named.

5 — EU hosting stated and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain (support, e-mail, analytics, payment) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with locations, a data processing agreement offered for the recipient and customer data, and the role of carriers (as independent controllers or processors) explained.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and a security certification (ISO 27001, SOC 2 or BSI C5) published rather than implied.

Report an error

The IT & Integration Lead not rated — no public information

We found no public information on hosting location, the contracting entity's details, subprocessors, a data processing agreement or security certification; the captured homepage, integration and product pages carry none of it. The nearest fact is an on-premises XML connectivity option, which is a deployment choice rather than a statement about where order and recipient data are hosted. Recipient addresses flow to every connected carrier, and the processing chain behind that is undocumented on these pages. 1 5 6

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: subscription per tier, user, warehouse or module, the per-order, per-label or per-shipment fees, label rates and surcharges when shipping through the vendor's contracts, connector and setup fees, hardware, minimum term, and what happens to the data on cancellation.

0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or "from" figure exists, but the volume fees, included orders or labels, and how the price scales are unclear.

5 — Prices per tier are public with the main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (per-order or per-label fees beyond the allowance, connectors, extra users or warehouses, onboarding) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every tier priced publicly with included volumes and the fee per order, label or shipment beyond them, add-ons and setup listed, minimum term and VAT treatment stated, and whether own carrier contracts are allowed on each tier said plainly.

10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given order volume, warehouse count and module set, with every fee, label surcharge, hardware and support cost and the cancellation and data-return terms published.

Report an error

The IT & Integration Lead

The only pricing facts captured are the Returns tier structure — Essential, Professional and Premium — with feature inclusions such as customs declaration, BI API and warehouse function allocated per tier. Beyond that we found no public information on figures: subscription, per-order or per-label fees, setup and connector costs, minimum term, or cancellation and data-return terms. 4
