Delivery Promise
Increase revenue with reliably fast shipping
Shipium boosts conversion and loyalty by providing accurate and aggressive estimated delivery dates on retail websites.
Better customer experiences
Make a competitive delivery promise you can keep
Improve the shopping experience with pre-purchase delivery estimates on product pages and checkout workflows.
Promote fast shipping
Consumers have more choices than ever before, and choose where to shop online based on experience as much as anything else. Turns out the shipping experience is half the shopping experience. Shipium makes you more competitive.
Industry data shows ecommerce conversion rates go up 6 basis points when promoting fast and free shipping ahead of purchase. If your conversion rate is an industry standard 2.5%, how much is 2.65% worth to you?
Eliminate shipping anxiety
Consumers are more likely to purchase if they know when to expect delivery of their order. Transparent and precise delivery dates perform better than generic date ranges.
ComScore reported that shipping anxiety caused almost a quarter of customers to abandon an ecommerce purchase.
Promise reliable delivery dates
Customers are more likely to come back for repeat purchases or recommend a website to a friend if they get a shipment when it was promised.
Almost half of consumers switched brands during the Covid-19 pandemic due to a poor delivery experience.

Order Summary
Customizable date displays
If a customer is checking out with multiple products, break out delivery date estimates based on SKUs, shipping origins, availability dates, or as one consolidated order.
Manage splits
Shipping different products from different warehouses? No problem. Our APIs help you manage splits and communicate separate delivery dates during checkout.
Full control, extensive options
You can customize the experience. We simply return a date via an API call. You are not forced to use a design or widget that doesn't fit your brand experience.
Tie promises to orders
Once a customer checks out, pass the promised delivery dates as order properties and Shipium will make sure the promise is kept with Carrier Selection.
Superior data modeling
Dates are stochastically modeled for unmatched speed and accuracy
Using millions of datapoints, the Shipium platform delivers the most accurate estimated delivery date in the business.
Calibrated to your network
All warehouse or store origins are setup on the platform, and configured to your exact network properties. Our dates are more accurate because we know important details like carrier pull times or days of operation.
Shared scale across transit data
Millions of shipments run through our AI / ML models to give maximum confidence on what will happen, not what could happen.
Carrier-specific understanding
Our modeling knows the probable speed of every carrier and method within your network from every ZIP to every other ZIP. The granularity provides additional customization benefits to fit your specific needs.
Augmented by a global transportation team
The eventual estimate is then adjusted based on a centralized transportation team that accounts for macro conditions, like a blizzard in Chicago or carrier delay bulletins.
Cloud delivery
The Power of the Platform
Shipium brings the advantages of the cloud to those stuck on legacy systems.
Customers love making the switch.
Availability, scalability, reliability
Cloud technology is all about performance benefits. Shipium brings the type of modern elasticity and dependability you've come to appreciate to fulfillment technology.
Enterprise response times
Website performance is essential to customer experience. Millions of dollars can depend on milliseconds of speed. Delivery Promise is built to service enterprise-grade customer experiences.
Rightsized for your network
Deep configuration capabilities ensures Delivery Promise adjusts to your needs
Making a promise you can keep means estimated delivery dates shown to customers must conform to your specific network.

- By Origin — Define multiple pickup times by warehouse or store
- By Carrier — Set pickup times at the carrier level

- By Customer — If you are a 3PL or manage a multi-tenant structure in your warehouse, set pull times based on a given customer regardless of carrier or method

Keep the Promise You Made
Competing on fast, free, and on-time shipping requires follow through, or else your profits will shrink and loyalty will dwindle. Are you making sure your promises are being kept?
An end-to-end premium experience
Delivery Promise pairs well with Fulfillment Engine and Carrier Selection. When combined, promises made to customers before purchase are carried through to order routing and shipping execution decisions. The results are ensuring delivery dates are always hit and shipping costs are always reduced.
Intelligence to power your program
Offering fast and free shipping requires you to manage regular tradeoffs between speed and cost, which is impossible to do without the right technology in place. Our suite of tools works best with the addition of Shipium Intelligence, our analytics product that puts financial performance of your network at the forefront.
