What is 3PL integration?
3PL integration connects your business systems with the logistics provider handling fulfillment and shipping. Orders can pass from your webshop, ERP, marketplace or WMS into the provider's nShift setup for carrier booking and label printing, while tracking data returns to your systems. The exact workflow depends on the integration and nShift products in use.
What is 4PL integration?
4PL integration connects the systems and transport workflows used by a provider that coordinates logistics across multiple carriers and partners. Where the 4PL uses nShift, shipment data can feed into its delivery operation, while nShift TMS can support freight planning, tendering and cost control. Each provider's operating model shapes what that setup covers.
Can nShift connect my systems to my 3PL or 4PL?
Yes, if your logistics provider uses nShift. Supported integrations can connect your webshop, ERP, marketplace or WMS to the provider’s nShift operation, with the exact workflow depending on the systems and nShift products in use.
Can I keep my own carrier agreements when my 3PL uses nShift?
Yes. A logistics provider can use its own carrier portfolio and also support client-specific carrier agreements and pricing in nShift. Each carrier customer number is configured separately in the provider's setup, and its terms apply only to shipments booked under it. Fulfilly uses both models, so clients can choose the arrangement that fits their business.
What happens if I change my 3PL?
Your carrier agreements are contracts between you and your carriers, so they move with you. If the new provider also ships on nShift, your systems reconnect to its setup and your carrier terms are configured there per account, the same repeatable onboarding path providers like Fulfilly run for new clients. Include delivery in the transition plan with your new provider and its integration partner.
Which systems can connect to a logistics provider on nShift?
