Prime Cargo ships goods for B2B and B2C customers across Europe and Asia. Their operation depends on accurate data, reliable carrier connectivity, and the ability to work across borders without disruption. Before implementing nShift, operators had to manually create labels and update shipment data, making the process slow and error prone during peak seasons. They needed a system that could scale with demand and offer the stability required for global logistics.
Challenge
Prime Cargo manages shipments with multiple carriers, each with its own label formats and data requirements. Their teams needed a solution that would:
- work smoothly across national borders
- cope with peak loads
- remove manual label creation
- consolidate information from many carriers
- deliver consistent uptime
Uptime is close to 100 percent and if any challenges arise the nShift support team are permanently on standby to resolve problems.

Solution
Prime Cargo integrated nShift directly into their WMS. This allowed warehouse teams to pick, pack, label, and transmit shipment data automatically with no manual intervention. The end-to-end flow now works as follows:
- The sender submits order data to Prime Cargo, including service selection.
- Prime Cargo retrieves the data in their WMS and picks the shipment.
- Once the freight label is printed, nShift automatically sends data back confirming the shipment is ready for pickup.
- The carrier collects the parcels and scans the label to update track and trace.
- Delivery scans update the status directly in the platform so customers always see the latest information.
Before, we coded our own labels for the different carrier products in our WMS system, which was time-consuming due to continuous updates from the carriers. Today, nShift does all this, so we instead are able to focus on what we do best.

Results
Since adopting nShift, Prime Cargo has seen faster processing, reduced manual errors, and stronger delivery reliability. Automated label creation and direct integration have removed one of the biggest sources of delay.
This has allowed Prime Cargo to:
- scale throughput without increasing headcount
- improve tracking accuracy
- maintain high reliability during seasonal peaks
- focus more time on value-adding logistics work rather than manual updates
The nShift platform is always updated with the latest product offerings from carriers, which means that we are able to offer a huge portfolio of carrier services.
