If managing freight in New Zealand feels more complex than it should — you’re not alone.
Juggling multiple carrier portals. Manual bookings. Tracking delays. Rate changes that hit your margins without warning. For too long, New Zealand’s freight landscape has been full of friction. But it doesn’t have to be.
At MachShip, we’re proud to announce our official launch in New Zealand with 15 fully integrated carriers and a platform purpose-built to simplify your freight operations, from dispatch to invoice.
Whether you’re a retailer scaling fast or a logistics team under pressure to reduce cost and complexity, here’s how MachShip helps you do more, with less stress.
What is Machship
MachShip is a freight management platform designed to help shippers, brokers, and 3PLs automate the way they quote, book, track, and reconcile freight — across multiple carriers — all from one system.
It’s not another “shipping plugin” or label generator. It’s a fully integrated freight engine — used by some of Australia’s largest retail and logistics operators — and now, ready for New Zealand.
The NZ Freight Problem (You Know It Well)
If you’re managing freight in NZ today, you’re likely facing one or more of these:
📉 No visibility into real-time freight cost across carriers
🔁 Manual double-entry across portals and spreadsheets
⏱️ Slow dispatching, especially when order volume spikes
💸 Unpredictable carrier rates and reconciliation blowouts
❓ No clear picture of which carrier is the best for each shipment
Sound familiar? That’s exactly what we solve.
How MachShip Fixes It
Here’s what makes MachShip different — and why it’s built for the way NZ businesses move freight:
1. One System. 15 NZ Carriers. Total Control.
With MachShip, you connect once and get access to a growing network of NZ freight providers — without managing dozens of APIs, accounts, or portals.
Carriers supported: Aramex, Mainfreight, New Zealand Couriers, Post Haste, Castle Parcels, and more.
2. Live Rate Comparisons at Dispatch
Don’t guess. MachShip shows you real-time pricing based on weight, dimensions, location, and your negotiated rates — right at the point of booking.
✅ Make faster, smarter decisions
✅ Save money on every shipment
✅ Never be surprised by a freight bill again
3. Automated Carrier Selection
Set business rules (e.g. cheapest for non-urgent, fastest for North Island) and let MachShip do the work.
🧠 No more guesswork.
🚛 Every shipment is routed to the right carrier, every time.
4. Centralised Tracking & Customer Visibility
One interface. Every shipment. Every status update.
You can see what’s moving, what’s stuck, and what needs your attention — all without logging into 5 different carrier portals.
Even better: your customers can be auto-notified, reducing support tickets and delivery queries.
5. Lightning-Fast Invoice Reconciliation
This one’s big. Recon used to take days. Now? A few hours.
MachShip compares carrier invoices against what was quoted and booked, flags discrepancies, and helps you resolve them fast.
