The same operational failures create lost money, avoidable delivery problems and frustrated customers. Shipherd addresses them from three angles: recover what you are owed, hold the operation to account, and resolve the customer issues those failures create.
Money leaks out of a fulfilment operation in three places: reimbursements that go unclaimed, carrier guarantees that nobody enforces, and invoices that don't match the rate card. Shipherd recovers all three.
View Finance overview →Marketplace reimbursements have to be found, filed and chased inside a claim window. Most of that work never happens, so most of the money never comes back.
Finance · Carrier claimsServices like Parcelforce Express 24 carry a guarantee. When the parcel lands late, you are owed money — and almost nobody claims it.
Finance · Invoice reconciliationCarrier bills are built from base rates, fuel and surcharges on legacy systems with a proven error rate. Nobody has time to check them line by line.
Your contracts set standards for delay, loss and damage. Shipherd measures every carrier against them, evidences the breaches, and shows you why returns really happen.
View Logistics overview →Your contracts set limits on delays, loss and damage. Performance against them is invisible, so breaches go unchallenged and renewals go unarmed.
Logistics · Returns intelligenceReturns aren't just refunds to process. The patterns point straight at the cause — a listing photo, a supplier's sizing chart, a handful of customers gaming the policy.
Shipherd investigates every ticket before your agent opens it, then resolves it, drafts it, escalates it with a briefing, or routes it to the right team. You choose where the line sits.
View Customer experience overview →Shipherd investigates every ticket before your agent opens it — pulling order, tracking, warehouse, catalogue and policy context automatically — then resolves, assists or escalates. The mode is set per scenario rather than per product: some scenarios need no response at all, some need only an acknowledgement, and some must always reach a person.
Customer experience · Delay predictionMost WISMO tickets are avoidable. Shipherd monitors every order against its promised date, spots the ones running late, and tells the customer before they have to ask.
Customer experience · Damage & fraud reviewThe customer captures the evidence on their own phone at the moment they raise the claim. Shipherd checks it is usable, assesses whether it supports what they reported, and flags the claims that don’t hold up.
Four places money leaves a fulfilment operation, and what each one is worth. Your channel mix, carrier mix and ticket volume decide where most of yours sits.
Inventory losses, returns and marketplace errors that go unclaimed or unrecovered.
