ShipMay did not start as a product looking for customers. It was forced into existence by our own freight operation — by rebills, by books that would not reconcile, by shipments nobody could locate.
We arrange freight across the U.S. as a broker — LTL, truckload, drayage and parcel. Every module in this system exists because the operation needed it first.
Rates in one system, tracking in another portal, invoices reconciled by hand in Excel — the gaps were filled by re-keying everything. We looked at off-the-shelf TMS options, but mainstream products are shaped around large domestic brokers: bilingual operation, WeChat-based communication, multi-tier agent distribution, China–US lanes were either absent or bolted on.
Stackability flags, NMFC codes, residential detection, carrier status semantics — in freight, every one of these maps to a real rebill. We encode each as a hard pre-tender check.
So today ShipMay looks like this: drayage, LTL, truckload, intermodal, last-mile delivery, tracking, finance and reconciliation, multi-tier agents — all wired into one system. Business shippers register and ship directly; forwarders and warehouses run their own customers on the same system.
· Business shippers wanting quoting, booking and tracking in one system instead of chasing email and chat threads
· Brokers and agents with their own customer base, wanting to serve them on our system and carrier network
· Brokers without carrier relationships yet, wanting to move freight on this network — no software purchase or deployment needed
· Just comparing a one-off shipment with no intent to keep an account — try the free toolbox first
· Forwarders with their own carrier contracts, ready to systemize
· Operations running agent or reseller networks that need tiered pricing and isolation
· Bilingual teams working across China and the US
· A handful of shipments a month, where a spreadsheet genuinely suffices
· Teams wanting instant self-serve SaaS with zero configuration
· Purely domestic operations already deeply embedded in a mainstream TMS
A dedicated instance on your infrastructure, running your carrier contracts. Data never leaves your environment.
We will walk you from quote to invoice in the real console — not a slide deck.
If it will not help, we will tell you. A sale we cannot deliver on costs us both.
We arrange freight ourselves as a broker — you will not have to explain the basics. Shippers can register directly; agents can apply directly.
