Courier aggregator software for logistics businesses
Courier aggregator software is the platform a logistics business uses to run shipments, sellers, rate cards, COD, NDR, and tracking across the courier accounts it has connected. ShipRabbit is that platform, under your logistics identity.
What Is Courier Aggregator Software?
Courier aggregator software is a technology platform that integrates multiple courier and logistics partners into a unified shipping management system. Rather than maintaining separate accounts, API integrations, and operational workflows for each carrier, businesses use one platform to handle the entire shipping lifecycle.
A logistics company uses it to offer shipping to the sellers it serves, under its own brand. Sellers work in the portal and can embed tracking on their own site. The company still owns the courier relationships and the day-to-day operation. Founders comparing a custom build with a platform can read how to start a logistics business without building the technology .

Key Features of Courier Aggregator Software
A complete aggregation platform goes beyond simple courier booking. Here are the capabilities that matter most.
Multi-courier booking
Create shipments, print labels, and manage pickups for the courier accounts connected to your ShipRabbit account, from one desk.
Rate comparison
Compare courier rates by zone, weight, and service type before booking. Choose the most cost-effective option per order.
Seller rate cards
Price a lane from B2B and B2C rate cards. A seller card replaces the aggregator card only for the couriers that seller has priced.
Serviceability checks
Check configured serviceability for a destination before processing a shipment. The result is the coverage stored for that account.
Unified tracking
Track all shipments regardless of courier partner in a single tracking dashboard with standardized status mapping.
NDR management
Review undelivered shipments by seller, and record a re-attempt or RTO request. The action, person, and time stay on the record.
COD remittance
Track COD collections, remittance cycles, and seller wallet balances with clear settlement reporting.
Shipping API
Integrate with your OMS, WMS, or eCommerce platform via REST APIs for automated shipment creation and tracking.
Who Uses Courier Aggregator Software?
How Courier Aggregator Software Works
- 1Connect courier partners
Connect the courier accounts on the ShipRabbit account. Booking, labels, and tracking use those accounts where that courier is implemented. Rates and coverage come from the cards and pincode rows stored for the account.
- 2Import or create orders
Orders flow in via API, CSV upload, or eCommerce platform integration. Each order includes destination, weight, dimensions, and payment type.
- 3Choose a courier from the rate list
The calculator lists rates from the configured cards for that lane, weight, and payment type. The person booking selects the courier. The shipment is not assigned on its own.
- 4Book, label, and dispatch
Generate shipping labels, schedule pickups, and push tracking information back to your store or customer notification system.
- 5Track, manage exceptions, settle COD
Monitor delivery status centrally, record a re-attempt or RTO request on an undelivered shipment, and reconcile COD remittance across courier partners on the account. The NDR desk is NDR management.
