ShipBob is a leading global third-party logistics (3PL) provider that helps modern ecommerce businesses fulfill orders quickly and efficiently. By strategically positioning inventory across ShipBob’s expansive network of fulfillment centers, merchants can leverage distributed inventory management to reduce shipping costs, shorten delivery times, and meet rising customer expectations for speed.

For high-volume UltraCart merchants, leveraging a global 3PL like ShipBob is essential for transitioning from self-fulfillment to outsourced, scalable logistics. This integration completely automates the workflow from checkout to delivery. As orders are placed in UltraCart, they are instantly sent to the nearest ShipBob facility for picking, packing, and shipping. This automation dramatically reduces handling time and allows businesses to manage peaks in demand without operational strain, a necessity for competing with major retailers.

The UltraCart/ShipBob integration is designed for speed and reliability, surpassing standard ecommerce logistics connections. It offers real-time, two-way data synchronization: not only are orders pushed out to ShipBob immediately, but inventory levels, shipment tracking numbers, and delivery confirmation are automatically pulled back into UltraCart. This superior loop closure ensures that your customers and your back-office staff always have accurate, up-to-the-minute status, providing a seamless post-purchase experience that is critical to customer retention.
