Shippit
Australia Post, StarTrack, Couriers Please, DHL and more through one integration, with rate shopping.
Freight Automation
Quote, book, print, track. Automatically.
We connect your store to Shippit, Transdirect, Australia Post eParcel and MachShip, so freight runs itself.
The most manual part of your fulfilment
An order comes in. Someone looks up rates, books the job, makes a label and sticks it on. Multiply that by 50 orders a day and that's hours gone, plus wrong rates and missed bookings.
We automate the whole lot: live rates at checkout, booking on dispatch, labels printed and tracking sent to the customer.
Freight platforms we integrate
Transdirect
Courier and road freight comparison, handy for heavy items like agricultural parts.
Australia Post eParcel
Contracted eParcel accounts with manifests, labels and tracking.
MachShip
For businesses with specific carrier requirements or existing MachShip accounts.
Real example
Patrolapart: freight booked by the site.
For Patrolapart the site pulls live Shippit quotes and carrier options at checkout, then sends each order to Shippit with parcel details, courier allocation, delivery instructions and authority to leave. Tracking and delivery status flow back automatically. Shipping got faster, and the workload dropped significantly.
What gets automated
Live rates
Carrier options, estimated delivery and accurate pricing at checkout.
Automatic booking
Booked on dispatch. No carrier logins.
Labels and manifests

Inside your DMS workflow
Part of a full Eclipse integration, booked when orders are dispatched.
What to sort out before you automate freight
Decide these first
- Which carriers and services you'll offer, and at what price
- Your rules for bulky, heavy or dangerous items
- Whether customers can choose authority to leave
- Who packs, and how parcel sizes get recorded
Why it matters
Freight automation is only as good as the parcel data behind it. Get weights and dimensions right in your catalogue and quotes stop surprising you (or your customers).
We work through it with you before anything is built.
Questions people actually ask
Can we offer multiple carrier options at checkout?
Yes. With Shippit or Transdirect, customers can choose from several carriers at checkout, each with live rates and estimated delivery.
Can freight automation connect to Eclipse DMS?
Yes. As part of a full Eclipse integration, freight is booked automatically when orders are dispatched.
What if we have contracted rates with a carrier?
We set up the integration to use your contracted rates, whether through Shippit, a direct eParcel account or MachShip.
Do customers get tracking automatically?
Yes. Tracking references come back from the carrier or Shippit and go to the customer and the order record automatically, so your team stops answering "where's my parcel?" calls.
Can heavy or bulky parts be handled differently?
Yes. Rules can send oversized or heavy items to a different carrier or service, add handling charges, or require a quote, so you don't lose money on freight.
Does this work for eBay orders as well?
Yes. eBay orders flow into the same fulfilment process as website orders, and tracking goes back to eBay when the parcel ships.
What does freight automation cost?
It's usually part of a wider store or DMS integration. Projects start from $12,000, with a fixed scope after the scoping call.
Can we still book some freight by hand?
Yes. Automation handles the everyday orders, and your team can override the carrier or book manually whenever a job needs it.
