Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 6 of the 33 other shipping software we grade
ShipHawk sells shipping automation software and a warehouse management system for businesses that ship parcel and freight. It connects to ERP and ecommerce systems, rates and books carriers using the customer's own accounts, and picks box sizes for each order. It also offers a shipping API.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about ShipHawk, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It publishes no prices, has no free plan or trial, and is built for ERP-connected operations that a small shop will not need.
- 1
Best for shipping for ERP-connected warehouses
ShipHawk is shipping software for warehouses, picking carriers, packing smartly and connecting to ERPs like NetSuite and SAP.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Carrier and mode selection
Uses the customer's negotiated rates to rate parcel, LTL and full-truckload shipments in one system and choose a carrier and service.
- 4
Smart Packing
Cartonization that selects the box or pallet for each order and works out packed weight, dimensions and rates without extra hardware.
- 5
ERP connections
Plugins for NetSuite, Acumatica, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, Sage and SAP, plus ecommerce plugins and a REST API.
- 6
A 1.8 GPA, above 6 of 33
That is against the other shipping software we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it
To replace ShipHawk you would be making discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for shipping for ERP-connected warehouses
ShipHawk is shipping software for warehouses, picking carriers, packing smartly and connecting to ERPs like NetSuite and SAP. It publishes no prices, has no free plan or trial, and is built for ERP-connected operations that a small shop will not need.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published; the pricing address redirects to a demo request, so there is nothing to set against the $20 category middle. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on the pages read. |
| Features | C | Carrier selection, packing, ERP links, warehouse tools and analytics. It is software, so you still need your own carrier accounts. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It connects to ERPs and warehouses, which takes setup, so it is a C. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with NetSuite, Acumatica, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, Sage and SAP listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who ShipHawk is for
- Fits if you run a warehouse tied to an ERP and ship parcels and freight
- Works for operations that want carrier choice and packing logic automated
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a price first: none is published, only a demo request
- Not for you if you want to try it first: no free plan or trial is listed
- Skip it if you are a small shop packing orders at a kitchen table
- Watch out: it is software only, so you need your own carrier accounts
Good to know
Good for
- Mid-size shippers that run an ERP and ship both parcel and freight
- Warehouses wanting rules-based carrier choice instead of manual decisions
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the pricing address redirects to the homepage and a demo request.
- It is software, not a carrier or a 3PL, so you need your own carrier accounts.
- It is built around ERP-connected operations, which may be more than a small shop needs.

Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
6/33
Other shipping software it is graded above
ShipHawk's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 6 of the 33 other shipping software we grade, and level with 5.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 8 of 33) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 34 shipping software we grade, cut by the letter each got. ShipHawk’s own letter is outlined.

- CEase of useAbove 1 of 33
- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 8 of 33
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace ShipHawk you would be making discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 22 of the 33 other shipping software grade higher.
What you could make
- Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- It plugs into other products, NetSuite, Acumatica and Microsoft Dynamics among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. ShipHawk’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
