Shipwell

Shipwell is an AI-powered transportation management system (TMS) and freight execution platform for shippers, brokers, and carriers. The Shipwell v2 Core API lets developers plan, rate, tender, book, track, and settle multimodal freight - parcel, LTL, truckload, intermodal, rail, and ocean - programmatically. It covers shipments, quoting and rating, carrier management, purchase orders and orders, documents, tenders, freight pay and audit, and a real-time events and webhooks surface. The production base URL is https://api.shipwell.com/v2 (the newer Orders API is served under https://api.shipwell.com without the /v2 prefix), with a fully separate sandbox at https://sandbox-api.shipwell.com/v2. Requests are authenticated with company-scoped API keys passed in the Authorization header. Access to the full platform and API is enterprise and contract-gated.

Shipwell publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Carriers API, Events and Webhooks API, Orders API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Transportation Management, TMS, Freight, Logistics, and Shipping.

Shipwell’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, and 7 more developer resources.
