Beyond the Cart: How ShipMonk Connects Your Entire Ops Stack

Let’s face it: fulfillment is so much more than just shipping. It’s your entire operations stack.

And if your tech doesn’t talk, you’re stuck. Stuck exporting CSVs, stuck in spreadsheets, and stuck with your growth on hold.

Your 3PL shouldn’t just be a warehouse—it should be a growth partner that connects your whole operation. We’re not about “one-size-fits-all” promises. We’re about delivering the right solution for the job.

Sometimes that means a deep-dive integration. Sometimes it’s a custom build. And sometimes, it’s connecting you with the best automation tools on the market.

Here are just a few examples of how we make it happen.

1. The “we’ll build it with you” approach

Our first commitment is to be a true partner. We listen, and when our merchants face a challenge, we build the solution.

The challenge: High-growth brands like STATE Bags and Bargoose run their businesses on BrightPearl. Their entire workflow depends on “goods out notes”—super-specific instructions that tell a 3PL exactly what to pick and pack. Our standard sync wasn’t built for that, leading to inventory mismatches and operational headaches.

The partnership: We didn’t offer a clumsy workaround. We built a solution. Our engineers worked with the STATE Bags and Bargoose teams to understand their exact needs.

The result? Our new BrightPearl V2 connector. It speaks BrightPearl’s language, syncing “goods out notes” directly and automating inventory adjustments. It’s not just a fix—it’s the new standard for all our BrightPearl merchants, built because two of our partners needed it.

2. The deep-dive integration

For core platforms like Shopify, you need power and control. As a certified Shopify Fulfillment Network (SFN) Partner, our integration is built for high-volume scale and gives you the tools to manage your logistics like a pro.

It’s not just a connection—it’s about giving you full control, right from your Shopify admin.

  • Control your flow: Use Shopify tags like VIP or fraud_risk to automatically hold, prioritize, or reroute orders. No developer needed.
  • Scale globally: We handle automated tax ID mapping for international orders to keep you compliant and shipping smoothly.
  • Manage your network: Map your Shopify locations to specific ShipMonk fulfillment centers in just a few clicks.

3. The “stop the spreadsheets” partner

We know your most frustrating work often happens between systems. All that manual reconciling, reporting, and CSV-wrangling. That’s spreadsheet purgatory.

Our platform is built to connect. That’s why we partner with tools like Parabola.

Parabola is an AI-powered workflow builder that plugs right into ShipMonk (no tech help required) and automates those manual headaches. Our merchants use it to:

  • Automate reconciliations: Stop matching POs and receiving data by hand. Flag quantity mismatches between ShipMonk and your ERP automatically.
  • Get smarter reports: Build custom, daily reports on inventory changes or SKU updates. No more VLOOKUPs.
  • Audit your data: Check compliance and tariff data across all your platforms to catch errors before they become problems.

This lets your ops team escape the spreadsheets and get back to growing the business.

One size never fits all

These are just a few ways we connect.

Whether it’s a consultative build (like for BrightPearl), a deep-dive integration (like for Shopify), or an automation partner (like for Parabola), ShipMonk is built to connect your entire operation.

From marketplaces and ERPs to your favorite tools, we’re here to strip away the logistics headaches so you can focus on building the business of your dreams.
