Bottom line
Shipwell is a cloud-native AI transportation management platform (TMS) for shippers. It covers multimodal visibility, procurement and RFP automation, settlements and freight audit, pricing intelligence, dock scheduling and load optimization on one modular platform, sold as standalone modules or an end-to-end TMS. AI workers such as the Track & Trace AI Worker and the Swifty assistant handle routine tracking and order updates, and an MCP server lets AI act across connected systems. Expect a quoted, demo-led sale rather than published pricing.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Shipwell cost?
Shipwell does not publish list pricing; its pricing page is a demo request form. Pricing is quoted per customer, and because the platform is modular you can license a single module such as Visibility, Settlements or Load Optimization, or the full end-to-end TMS. Expect a demo-led enterprise sales cycle and annual subscription contracting, and treat any starting or typical annual figure in this profile as an estimate until you hold a quote.
What AI does Shipwell actually ship today?
Sources describe a Track & Trace AI Worker that monitors every shipment, detects exceptions and communicates with carriers; an in-app assistant (Swifty) that creates orders, builds recurring shipments and activates workflows from natural language; and an MCP server intended to let AI trigger actions across connected systems. Shipwell's privacy policy states AI outputs are predictive and support rather than replace human judgment, and that customers remain responsible for decisions based on them. Validate results in a pilot before depending on them.
How long does implementation take and what integration effort is required?
Shipwell does not publish an implementation timeline. The platform is cloud-native multi-tenant SaaS with a JSON API and integrations to ERP, WMS, CRM, ELD, carrier and BI systems via EDI and real-time APIs, so most effort sits in integration and data setup rather than infrastructure. Treat the 6–10 week range shown here as an estimate and ask for a reference timeline for your modes and ERP.
Which freight modes and modules does Shipwell cover?
Sources list TL, LTL, intermodal, drayage, parcel and ocean container/rail visibility, with ocean and air schedules and booking on the roadmap. Modules include Visibility, Settlements, Pricing Intelligence, RFP Automation, Load Optimization and Dock Scheduling, each available standalone or as part of the full TMS.
What security and compliance assurances does Shipwell provide?
Shipwell's site states the platform is cloud-native, SOC 2 compliant and runs at 99.9999% uptime, and its privacy policy describes AI-specific safeguards including monitoring of model inputs and outputs, access controls and audit logging. Detailed security documentation is available through the Trust Center linked from the site. Request that documentation during diligence, since the pages reviewed do not itemise certifications.
