Overview
You are here — ship anything, track live, pay on delivery.
Shipping & Lanes
Post shipments, multi-stop routes, and contracted lanes.
Tracking & Pay
Live GPS, escrow payments, and delivery confirmation.
Verified Carriers
Every carrier vetted — identity, authority, background, human review.
Visibility + settlement
Tracking and payment are not separate problems
Most platforms bolt on a tracking link and invoice separately. Shipmater ties GPS progression directly to escrow release — the same evidence that proves delivery is the evidence that triggers payment.
Live tracking
Everyone sees the same load, in real time
Live GPS map
Carrier position on a real-road map from pickup through final delivery. Route polyline, ETA, and every ping stored for compliance and dispute review.
Shareable tracking link
Receivers, consignees, and site managers follow the load without a Shipmater account. One link, read-only view, same map your dispatch team sees.
Milestone alerts
Automatic notifications when a carrier is assigned, confirms pickup, crosses key waypoints, and completes delivery. Email and SMS configurable per user.
Escrow payments
From assignment to carrier payout
01
Funds secured on assignment
When you assign a carrier, payment is authorised and held in escrow — not released until delivery criteria are met.
02
Carrier hauls with proof
GPS progression, stop photos, and delivery confirmation build an evidence chain tied to the job record.
03
Delivery confirmed
Shipper or receiver confirms delivery. POD, BOL, and invoice documents generated and stored on the shipment.
04
Escrow releases
Funds release to the carrier on confirmed delivery. Disputes pause release and open a structured resolution workflow.
Payment protection
Built for disputes, not just happy paths
Escrow-held funds
Payment is not released on assignment. Carriers complete the job knowing funds are committed; shippers know money stays held until proof of delivery.
Dispute resolution
GPS logs, status history, photos, and signatures form an immutable audit trail. Disputes are reviewed against recorded evidence, not verbal claims.
Document archive
BOL, POD, and settlement invoices stored permanently per shipment. Export for accounting, insurance, and compliance audits.
Flexible payment methods
Card and ACH bank transfer supported. Organisation-level payment methods shared across dispatchers with admin controls.
Proof of delivery tied to payment release
Carriers capture delivery photos and signatures at the stop. That record is attached to the shipment and referenced if a dispute is opened. Your finance team gets a clean document trail — not a phone call three weeks later.
Track and pay on one platform
Live GPS and escrow protection included on every shipment — no add-on modules.
