Why Multi-Courier Shipping Can Be a Headache
For many South African e-commerce brands, managing multiple couriers feels more like juggling than logistics. Every courier comes with its own portal, pricing model, SLA quirks, and tracking format. Multiply that by three or four providers, and soon merchants are spending more time copying and pasting tracking links than serving customers.
It's not uncommon for growing stores to start off using one courier — only to switch or diversify out of frustration: missed pickups, pricing inconsistencies, or limitations in service areas. While adding more couriers should be a sign of scale, it often adds complexity that slows teams down.
How Evership Makes Multi-Courier Sync Simple
Evership was built specifically to help e-commerce brands get the best of all courier options — without the chaos. Instead of logging into five different systems, merchants manage everything from one smart dashboard.
Once connected to your Shopify or WooCommerce store, Evership pulls your orders in real-time. From there, you can:
Compare courier quotes instantly based on route and parcel size
Get up-to-date ETAs and service level info across providers
Print shipping labels directly, no forwarding required
Auto-assign different couriers based on province, weight, or cost rules
What does this mean in practice? A Cape Town-based brand can confidently ship same-day with one provider for local orders, while using more economical options for long-distance deliveries — all without rewriting their ops stack.
One Dashboard, Every Delivery
Most importantly, Evership turns shipping from something reactive into an asset you can control. Here's how centralisation changes your day-to-day:
Branded tracking links are automatically sent via Email, WhatsApp, or SMS
Your support team can see every shipment status in one view
Failed deliveries or delays trigger proactive alerts
You can run targeted campaigns directly from your tracking page — upselling at the moment customers return to check their parcel
For merchants who’ve felt the pain of customers chasing missing delivery info, this shift is game-changing.
Choosing the Right Courier, Every Time
Not every order should be treated the same — and with Evership's courier comparison engine, they don’t have to be. Each courier has strengths:
With live rates and filters, you can pick what matters for that delivery: lowest cost, best ETA, branded couriers — or let automation assign it for you.
Shipping Smarter, Not Harder
Multi-courier logistics should create options, not obstacles. With Evership, South African brands don’t have to choose between efficiency and flexibility — they get both. Whether you’re sending five parcels a day or five hundred, centralised shipping saves time, reduces cost leaks, and protects your growth margins.
Among the thousands of merchants already using Evership, many say the same thing: they wish they started sooner. If you're ready to simplify how you ship, the right setup isn’t five tabs — it’s one dashboard.
