Shipping software at Monta: fast delivery, low costs
How you ship goes a long way towards determining how satisfied your customers are. Too late, too expensive, or with no insight into the status, and trust drops immediately. Smart shipping software automatically connects you to the right carrier, at the best price and with real-time tracking. With Fulfilment and WMS software, Monta helps webshops ship faster, cheaper and more reliably, whether you outsource it or handle it yourself.

Fast, affordable and with visibility into every step: that’s what good shipping means for your customers.
Why is shipping important?
Shipping is the last part of the order your customer sees, and often the most decisive factor in how satisfied they are. If a parcel arrives late, delivery is expensive, or the customer has no idea where their order is, trust drops immediately, even if the rest of the process went smoothly.
Getting shipping right prevents that and delivers concrete benefits:
Lower shipping costs
By automatically choosing the cheapest or fastest carrier for each shipment, you make structural savings on shipping costs. With larger volumes, those savings add up quickly.
Reliable delivery and trust
Real-time tracking lets customers see exactly where their parcel is. This removes uncertainty and keeps trust intact, even if a delivery is occasionally delayed.
Freedom of choice for the customer
Customers who can choose their own carrier, delivery date or time slot are more satisfied and complete their orders more often. This flexibility is increasingly becoming an expectation rather than a bonus.
Ready to grow internationally
A strong carrier network makes it possible to ship reliably and affordably beyond your own country, so you can tap into new markets with confidence.
What your shipping process looks like depends on how you’ve set up your logistics. If you use Fulfilment with Monta, we take care of shipping for you. If you choose our WMS software, you handle the shipping process yourself.

Delivery times and time slots
From same-day delivery to an evening or weekend time slot, the customer chooses what suits them best.
Shipping from multiple warehouses

This removes uncertainty and means your customer service team gets fewer questions about where a parcel has got to. Below are the key features:
With MontaTracking, your customer always knows where their parcel is, without having to ask.
Here's what customers say about us
"Every day we come across new and complex challenges, and Monta acts as a sparring partner for us so we can work as efficiently and effectively as possible. This applies to our D2C customers as well as our national and international B2B customers.”
Michel Kobus | Co-founder
"Collecting orders runs considerably more smoothly now. Our warehouse staff used to spend the whole day picking, now they're done within two hours. Besides the huge time saving, it also saves a lot of frustration."
Jelle Meijer | Director
“A lot of software vendors say if there’s an issue, just submit a ticket and we’ll add it to the roadmap. But at Monta, it actually happens. Within a month, most things were resolved for us.”
Do you ship dozens of parcels a day, work with multiple carriers, or are your shipping costs creeping up? Then it's time for shipping software. If you use Monta's WMS software, it works in three steps, carried out by your own team using our software.
Step 1: Connect carriers
Connect your webshop, marketplaces and ERP system to the carriers of your choice. Standard integrations with well-known carriers are available straight away; if you need something specific, you can arrange that with a custom build using the REST API.
Step 2: Set shipping rules
Decide which carrier is preferred per sales channel, country or product type, using rules based on weight, size, destination or delivery time.
Step 3: Process orders and generate labels
After picking and packing, MontaWMS automatically selects the right carrier for the order and generates the shipping label. This is printed directly in your warehouse, though manual selection remains possible if you'd rather choose yourself.
This way, you set the rules, and the software makes sure every shipment complies with them.
You set the rules, MontaWMS automatically chooses the right carrier for every shipment.

Shipping software that doesn't stand alone, but works together with your entire order process.
Why choose MontaWMS shipping software?
MontaWMS shipping software doesn't stand alone. It's fully interwoven with the WMS and the rest of your order process. Order data, stock and shipping are continuously aligned, with no manual syncing required.
Used daily in our own 20+ fulfilment warehouses.
100+ developers continuously work on improving the system.
Shipping is the process of transporting an order from the warehouse to the customer, from generating the shipping label to delivery at the address provided. At Monta, this happens through a network of carriers, managed by shipping software that automatically chooses the best option.
What's the difference between a shipping platform and shipping software in a WMS?
A shipping platform is a standalone tool for generating shipping labels and choosing carriers, usually linked to your webshop. Shipping software within a WMS, such as MontaWMS, goes a step further: shipping is fully integrated here with stock, order processing and returns in one system, so you never need to manually switch between separate tools.
Does shipping also mean delivery?
In practice, these terms are often used interchangeably. Shipping is the moment a parcel leaves the warehouse; delivery is the actual handover to the customer. With real-time tracking at Monta, you can follow both moments, from dispatch right through to delivery on the doormat.
What's the cheapest way to ship?
Shipping costs depend on parcel size, destination and the speed you want. By automatically selecting the cheapest or fastest carrier for each shipment and shipping from the nearest warehouse, you keep shipping costs as low as possible.
Can I choose which carrier ships my order?
Yes. Through Monta's checkout module, the end customer can choose their own carrier and delivery moment. If you work with the WMS software, you set your own shipping rules, so the carrier that matches your preference is chosen automatically.
