Built to extend SAP
SAP is your system of record. ShipCore gives it multi-carrier speed.
Multi-carrier logistics has its own speed, scale, and complexity. ShipCore is the SAP-native platform built for it, extending SAP with real-time rate shopping, voice-enabled pack and ship, automated compliance, and AI invoice processing.
ShipCore adds all of this natively, without touching your SAP core.

Your SAP landscape. Every carrier. Nothing in between.
We aren't just shipping software. We are SAP logistics experts. ShipCore speaks the native language of your SAP modules and connects them to carriers through one unified API, so there is no brittle middleware to deploy, patch, or pay for.

Questions, answered
What SAP teams ask us first.
Does ShipCore require custom ABAP or changes to our SAP core?
No. ShipCore is 100% clean core: zero custom Z-tables and no custom ABAP. It is built on SAP BTP with the Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model, so your S/4HANA environment stays upgrade-ready.
Which SAP systems does it integrate with?
SAP S/4HANA (cloud and on-premise), SAP ECC, SAP EWM, SAP TM, and SAP BN4L. Integration uses native OData services and CDS views, Direct Shipment Option (DSO) connectivity for TM, and GTT milestone orchestration for BN4L.
How long does it take to go live?
A typical go-live takes about three weeks, and a new carrier can be added in under two days. Business rules and rate mapping are configured without code.
Which carriers are supported?
150+ parcel and LTL carriers, including FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, TNT, and OnTrac, plus regional and international carriers. Connectivity adapts to each carrier: REST APIs, web services, EDI, XML, flat files, and email.
What does the AI actually do?
Document AI reads supplier packing lists in any format and creates inbound deliveries in SAP. Ask AI answers PO, shipment, and returns questions in plain language. Insight AI predicts ETAs and raises early alerts. Autonomous Invoice AI captures freight invoices, matches them to POs, and codes them to the GL.
We run more than SAP. Can ShipCore handle a mixed ERP landscape?
Yes. Alongside SAP, ShipCore connects to Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, and Infor.
