ShipScience overview

What is ShipScience?

ShipScience is parcel audit and claims recovery software built on a central parcel data platform. It pulls in carrier tracking, invoice lines, order details, and claims, cleans them into one record per package, and shares the data with BI and ERP tools through APIs and webhooks.

Four products run on that data. SimpleClaims files lost and damaged package claims and matches carrier payouts. ActiveAudit flags late deliveries and billing errors and keeps the evidence needed for refunds. My Next Carrier reprices past shipments against 10+ carriers to show savings and transit time changes. CarrierWatch ranks carriers by lane and on-time performance.

ShipScience is built for high-volume shippers that want measurable savings. Customers with a single billing account can be onboarded in under 24 hours, and most enterprise customers are live in 2 to 4 weeks.

What do users say about ShipScience?

Reviewers indicate ShipScience Platform helps them save significant amounts of money by automatically identifying and securing shipping refunds they would otherwise miss. They find it easy to set up, appreciate that it requires little ongoing effort, and value its seamless integration with shipping carriers for monitoring and refund processing.

They say the platform is especially useful for small businesses lacking time or resources to track refunds manually. Some mention that while the service takes a portion of the recovered funds and occasionally misses certain refunds, the overall return justifies the investment and reduces their workload.
