Celerant Expands Integrated Shipping with Over 40 Carriers and Rate Shopping

Retailers can more effectively pick, pack and ship orders from within Celerant’s FFL retail software with many new carriers, including Amazon Prime and DHL

Staten Island, NY Celerant Technology, a leading provider of innovative retail solutions for the firearms industry, today announced a partnership and integration with ShipEngine, the world’s leader in multi-carrier shipping logistics. The integration allows dealers to select from over 40 carriers, including UPS, USPS, FedEx, Amazon Prime and DHL. With rate shopping, package tracking and automated shipping processes built into a single interface, dealers can fulfill orders more efficiently, save time, and reduce shipping costs.

Integrating ShipEngine and Celerant’s FFL retail solution enables dealers to manage online orders, and select the ‘best fit’ carrier to ship each order to their customer or an FFL location. Order placed on Celerant’s eCommerce platform or integrated marketplaces, such as GunBroker, gun.deals, Guns.com, Weapon Depot, Amazon, eBay and more, are automatically transferred to the Celerant back office. From the back office, dealers can access ShipEngine to compare real-time shipping rates across multiple carriers; and select the most cost-effective and efficient carrier. Rules can also be configured to automatically select carriers based on shipping costs, delivery times, carrier capabilities, and other preferences.

“Celerant is constantly adding new features and integrations that respond to the latest ecommerce trends and the needs of online sellers,” said Jim Gagliardi, ShipEngine’s General Manager. “We’re thrilled to be a part of the Celerant platform by providing its users with multi-carrier shipping capabilities.”

Connect with shipping carriers

ShipEngine allows dealers to connect with their preferred carriers, and gain access to a large network of local, regional, national and international carriers. In addition to Celerant’s existing integrations with USPS, UPS and FedEx, ShipEngine allows dealers to ship with Amazon Prime, DHL/DHL Express, Stamps.com, Endicia, Globegistics, PC Portal Logistics, Newgistics, IMEX, Parcel Force Worldwide, Access Worldwide, DPD, Hermes, and more. ShipEngine users may continue using their preexisting negotiated rates; or leverage ShipEngine’s discounted rates and ability to negotiate on behalf of the dealer.

Streamline shipping processes

ShipEngine is the API that powers ShipStation, a popular shipping software. By integrating ShipEngine with Celerant, all ShipStation shipping tools, and more, are embedded directly in the Celerant back office. Dealers can access API tools to track packages, generate and print labels, validate addresses, view estimated taxes, and more. With built-in processes, dealers can automate shipping, and customize workflows to further improve supply chain efficiencies.

“As online shopping continues to increase, dealers need the most efficient way to ship those orders to remain competitive,” stated Ian Goldman, President and CEO at Celerant Technology. “ShipEngine helps dealers reduce shipping costs, deliver orders faster, and spend less time on shipping. By integrating with ShipEngine APIs, dealers can access all these tools directly in our retail platform, eliminating the need to bounce around different systems to ship orders.”
