Freight Automation — Quote, Book, Print and Track Automatically
Connect your ecommerce store to Shippit, Transdirect, Australia Post eParcel, and Macship. Freight quoted at checkout, booked automatically on dispatch, labels printed without manual input.
The problem with manual freight
For most ecommerce businesses, freight is the most manual part of the fulfilment process. An order comes in, someone looks up rates, books the job, generates a label, and attaches it. Multiply that by 50 orders a day and you've got hours of manual work — and plenty of room for errors, missed bookings, and wrong rates. We automate the whole process.
Freight platforms we integrate
Shippit
Multi-carrier freight platform covering Australia Post, StarTrack, Couriers Please, DHL, and others. Ideal for businesses wanting a single integration that accesses multiple carriers with rate shopping.
Transdirect
Multi-carrier freight comparison and booking. Strong coverage of courier and road freight carriers — useful for heavier items like agricultural parts and equipment.
Australia Post eParcel
Direct Aus Post eParcel integration for businesses with a contracted account. Manifests, labels, and tracking managed directly through the Aus Post system.
Macship
Australian freight management platform for businesses with specific carrier requirements or existing Macship accounts.
What gets automated
- Live freight rates quoted to customers at checkout — carrier options, estimated delivery, accurate pricing.
- Automatic booking on order dispatch — no manual carrier login required.
- Label generation and printing triggered automatically.
- Tracking number captured and sent to the customer automatically.
- Manifest generation for bulk dispatches.
- Multiple carrier options managed from one ecommerce admin.
Can we offer multiple carrier options at checkout?
Yes. Where we integrate Shippit or Transdirect, customers can choose from multiple carrier options at checkout — each with live rates and estimated delivery times.
Can freight automation connect to Eclipse DMS?
Yes. As part of a full Eclipse integration, freight automation sits within the order fulfilment workflow — automatically booked when orders are dispatched.
What if we have contracted rates with a specific carrier?
We configure the integration to apply your contracted rates — whether through Shippit, a direct eParcel account, or Macship.
