Specialist logistics:inquiry to quotein minutes.
Quote complex, multi-supplier shipments in minutes, then settle them in one place.
01.The problem
The problem that specialist shippers have. But can't fix.
Quote requests arrive incomplete, each quote is bespoke, partners take days to respond, and pricing is opaque and inconsistent. Pricing happens in spreadsheets and inboxes, and customers are left waiting for days.
Shipio turns quoting into a reliable system that you control from end-to-end.
02.A single platform
One platform, from quote to payment.
Shipio is the pricing and settlement infrastructure for specialist logistics. It learns how you view and price quotes, connects you to your partner network for the legs you don't run, and settles every job through an auditable payment process. The quote, the booking, the invoice, the payment: one rail, one source of truth.

03.Pricing engine
Accurate quotes every time, generated in minutes.
Paste or upload your customer's quote request into the platform. Your pricing and rules are applied accurately every time and instantly. You're in control.
Your team can quote confidently from day one and you can grow your business with confidence.
- Transparent line-item breakdown by service. Every figure traces to the rule that produced it.
- Partial-pricing flags catch missing rates before the quote goes out.
- Multi-currency, multi-VAT, multi-unit ready from the first quote.
04.Consolidation engine
Consolidate hundreds of items, instantly.
Specialist shipments mean specialist crating. Just upload the inventory via CSV, PDF or doc, and the optimal crating setup will be developed automatically.
Shipio sorts every piece into the right container against your specifications, respecting packing orientation, weight, and the rules you've encoded for each artist, customer, or material. Shipio maximises efficiency while maintaining safety.
- Sort by lowest chargeable weight, packing cost, or volume. Override any decision the engine makes.
- Items pack flat, upright, or on their side, only when your rules allow.
- Crating costs flow into the quote total automatically.
05.Co-pricing rail
Quote the whole journey, even the legs you don't run.
Most specialist jobs are multi-supplier, and multiple suppliers mean multiple rate sheets, email threads and packing lists. By the time you've assembled the quote, the lead has gone cold.
Shipio allows you to connect digitally with your trusted partner network to quote end-to-end faster. You see every leg, every option, every price.
- No more waiting for days to receive pricing.
- Compare multiple partners on the same leg, side by side.
- Partners see only what you choose to share. Your customer relationship stays yours.
06.Custom rules
Structure the rules that took your business years to learn.
Every specialist operator has pricing logic that's grown over years. It usually lives in one person's head, or in a spreadsheet only that person understands.
Shipio captures every rule in one place. Encode once, apply everywhere, switch contexts per division. Fine art, medical, events, aerospace: each operates against the rule set that matches the work.
- Conditional rules by customer, artist, product, location, season, weight, or value.
- When customer is Y Gallery, reduce road transport and packing service costs by 10%.
- Always pack artwork by Monet using the T-Frame service.
07.Payment

- One-click invoicing from any approved quote.
- Local payment options with global currency support.
