Retail freight spans the warehouse and the front door
DC-to-store replenishment, customer returns, and white-glove last-mile are different jobs with the same requirement: visibility and proof. Chargebacks and “where is my order” tickets explode when tracking and POD are afterthoughts.
Platform approach
How Shipmater runs retail moves
Batch multi-stop store runs, share live tracking with ops or the customer, and require POD with photos and signature. Use contracted lanes for standing replenishment and open market when volume spikes. Escrow holds payment until delivery is confirmed.
Built for this industry
DC and store multi-stop
Replenish a region in one job — every store stop confirmed individually.
Last-mile and white glove
High-value retail and furniture-style drops with handling requirements and photo POD.
Shared live tracking
Give stores, customers, or franchise ops the same map your desk uses.
Proof at every drop
Photos and signatures close the loop for chargebacks and customer support.
Lane flexibility
Contracted capacity for standing routes; open market when peak season hits.
Escrow on confirmation
Funds release when delivery is confirmed — not when the truck leaves the yard.
