Industries
One platform.
Six industries on day one.
Shipmater wasn't built for a single vertical. The underlying model — jobs, bids, contracts, GPS, proof of delivery — maps cleanly to every industry that moves physical goods.
Freight & Logistics
Built for it from day one.
The platform was designed around freight. Open market bidding, contracted lane rates, live GPS, multi-stop routing, and real-time carrier tracking — every workflow shippers and carriers run daily is already here.
- Open market + contracted dispatch
- Real-road route planning with OSRM
- Live GPS with ETA updates
- Full bid and contract lifecycle
Medical & Pharmaceutical
Chain of custody without a rebuild.
Contracted carriers enforce approved vendor lists. Custom fields support lot number, temperature log, and handling requirements out of the box. Delivery photo and GPS timestamp create an auditable chain of custody that satisfies most compliance requirements without custom development.
- Cold chain handling requirements
- Lot number and temperature log fields
- Photo proof + GPS chain of custody
- Contracted-only carrier pools
Auto Transport
VIN to delivery in one flow.
Both open market and contracted models apply. Carriers bid on single-vehicle moves or fulfil contracted fleet transport. VIN and condition report attach as custom fields. Photo upload at pickup and delivery is already in the platform — condition disputes have evidence.
- VIN and condition report custom fields
- Photo capture at pickup and delivery
- Open market bidding for one-off moves
- Contracted for fleet and dealer networks
Art, Antiques & Estate Moves
White glove is a setting, not a rebuild.
High declared value, white glove handling requirements, and open market bidding are all already in the data model. Post a move, require handling certification, set a minimum carrier rating, and let qualified specialists compete. Delivery photos create the final condition record.
- Declared value and handling requirements
- Carrier rating and certification filters
- Open market for specialist carriers
- Photo condition record at delivery
Food & Beverage Distribution
Weekly routes, contracted rates.
Restaurant and distributor routes run on contracted carriers with refrigerated handling requirements. Recurring shipment scheduling means the same Friday delivery to twelve locations dispatches in one action. Cold chain requirements are enforced at the carrier selection stage.
- Contracted carriers for recurring routes
- Refrigerated handling enforcement
- Batch dispatch for multi-stop runs
- Delivery confirmation at each stop
Construction Equipment
Flatbed, oversize, open market.
Heavy and oversize moves are one-off and irregular — open market bidding is the right model. Flatbed and specialised handling requirements narrow the field to qualified carriers. Weight, dimensions, and special notes give carriers everything they need to quote accurately.
- Open market for one-off heavy moves
- Flatbed and oversize handling requirements
- Weight and dimension fields
- Photo documentation at pickup
