What Pacejet is

Pacejet describes itself as multi-carrier shipping software that integrates with your ERP, and its pages carry the Descartes name. It connects to Acumatica, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Oracle NetSuite, IFS, Infor and Sage X3. On its NetSuite page Pacejet says you can rate shop and ship from quotes, sales orders, transfers and purchases, with quick ship, pack and ship and batch ship workflows, and with scan packing that runs in the browser. Its home page describes Predictive Packing algorithms that estimate the number and size of packages in quotes and shipments, scan-pack, drag-and-drop-pack and auto-pack methods, and printing with no additional third-party tools or costs. It says it works with NetSuite Ship Central, NetSuite WMS, Advanced Shipment Data, Transportation Management and Freight Quotes for SuiteCommerce, and with EDI through SPS Commerce or TrueCommerce. Its navigation lists 80+ integrations across ERPs and parcel, LTL and 3PL carriers.

Pacejet publishes starting prices on its website. Emerging starts at $700 a month and is described for up to 50 parcel shipments a day. Core starts at $1,200 a month for 100 or more parcel shipments and five or more LTL shipments a day, and adds domestic and international shipping, LTL and 3PL support, advanced automation, scan-pack validation and a document editor. Enterprise is priced on request. Every plan includes unlimited users, carriers and facilities, and Pacejet says implementation fees may apply and a representative reviews all costs before work begins.

What NesoTMS is

NesoTMS is a shipping workspace built only for NetSuite. It reads item fulfillments or sales orders from NetSuite, lets packers record boxes at the Packing Station, rates every carrier account you have connected, buys UPS and FedEx labels, books FedEx Freight LTL with its bill of lading, prints at the packing computer and writes tracking, package details, cost and ship status back to NetSuite. What a TMS for NetSuite should do covers the longer version.

It is deliberately narrower than Pacejet: one ERP, two parcel carriers that buy labels, one LTL carrier, and no warehouse, scan-verification or compliance tooling. In return the plans are flat and public, and there is no per-label fee.

NetSuite integrationA NesoTMS connector in your NetSuite account. NesoTMS lists item fulfillments (Picked or Packed) or open sales orders, whichever record type you choose. Packing writes the boxes to NetSuite; a label purchase writes tracking numbers, package weights and sizes, shipping cost (not for a freight booking) and the Shipped status back to the item fulfillment.

PackingThe Packing Station lists what is waiting to be packed. A packer scans or types an order number, enters each box's type, size and weight and marks the order packed, which writes the boxes to NetSuite; the Clerk Station then lists packed orders to ship. It runs in a web browser, with no handheld or kiosk app, no item-by-item scan verification and no automatic box choice. Pack, ship and void orders walks through it.Scan packing that runs in the browser, scan-pack, drag-and-drop-pack and auto-pack methods, and Predictive Packing algorithms that estimate packages in quotes. Scan-pack validation is listed from the Core plan.

Named LTL carriers include ABF Freight, Estes, FedEx Freight and Averitt Express, with bills of lading and pallet labels for all carriers. LTL and 3PL support starts at the Core plan.

When Pacejet is the better fit

  • You ship LTL or 3PL freight every day across many carriers, not a pallet now and then. Pacejet names LTL carriers including ABF Freight, Estes, FedEx Freight and Averitt Express, and prints bills of lading and pallet labels for all carriers.
  • You supply retailers with compliance requirements. Pacejet's Enterprise plan lists retail paperwork, GS1 labels, and compliance and EDI data.
  • You want scan-pack validation, Predictive Packing, a document editor and advanced automation. Pacejet lists scan-pack validation, the editor and advanced automation on Core and above, and describes Predictive Packing on its home page; NesoTMS has none of them and no automatic box choice.
  • You ship internationally beyond Canada. Pacejet lists export documentation such as commercial invoices, export packing lists and carrier-specific export forms; NesoTMS's labels cover US to US and US to Canada with a commercial invoice.
  • You have several facilities and many shippers and want unlimited users, carriers and facilities on every plan.
  • You might change ERP. Pacejet connects to six of them, while NesoTMS connects only to NetSuite.
  • You have the budget and the appetite for an implementation project, or enterprise volumes: Pacejet describes its Enterprise plan for 500 or more shipments a day.

When NesoTMS fits

  • One warehouse, one or two shippers and a clear monthly price: Basic is $99/month, Advanced at $499/month removes the limits on users, warehouses, stations and carrier accounts, and both plans start with a 15-day free trial that needs no card.
  • Mostly UPS and FedEx parcel, with an occasional FedEx Freight pallet, and no need for many LTL carriers.
  • You want to know the price without a sales call, with no setup fee, no implementation fee and no long-term contract.
  • You want to get connected quickly: NesoTMS's own estimate is under ten minutes to connect NetSuite and your carrier accounts.
  • You sometimes ship without a NetSuite order (samples, replacements, one-offs). Quick ship buys a label from typed addresses or your address book, and imports a CSV or Excel file of orders.
  • You want shipping reports without a separate analytics project: 14 ready-made reports, your own saved and shared reports, and CSV or Excel export.
  • You want to know which shipments need a look: Shipments History flags a shipment the carrier hasn't picked up, one that has stopped moving and one with a delivery problem, based on what the carrier reports.

NesoTMS's limits, stated plainly

Compared with a platform like Pacejet, NesoTMS does less. Check this list first:

  • Your own carrier accounts only: NesoTMS does not resell or discount carrier rates.
  • Parcel labels are UPS and FedEx only (US to US and US to Canada); USPS labels are sandbox only today.
  • One LTL carrier, FedEx Freight, with US origin and no cancel through its API.
  • NetSuite is the only ERP NesoTMS connects to today.
  • Canada shipments carry a commercial invoice. There is no USMCA certification and no export filing.
  • Not part of NesoTMS today: warehouse management (picking, putaway, inventory), item-by-item scan verification at the packing table, automatic box selection (cartonization), EDI, a tablet or kiosk app and weighing-scale capture.
  • You ship from the NesoTMS web app, not from a screen on the NetSuite record.

How to decide

  1. 1

    Count your daily shipments

    Pacejet's own plan guidance is about 50 parcel shipments a day for Emerging, and 100 parcel plus five LTL a day for Core. Compare your own numbers to those, and to what one NesoTMS plan covers.

  2. 2

    Name your LTL carriers

    If your freight moves on more carriers than FedEx Freight, NesoTMS isn't enough on its own. If it is mostly parcel, it probably is.

  3. 3

    List your compliance needs

    Retailer labels, EDI data and scan-pack validation are Pacejet features that NesoTMS does not have.

  4. 4

    Ask for the full cost

    Ask Pacejet for the implementation fee, the billing period and the renewal terms in writing. NesoTMS's plans are on its pricing page, with no setup or implementation fee.

Questions about NesoTMS and Pacejet

Is Pacejet more expensive than NesoTMS?

Pacejet's published starting prices, $700 and $1,200 a month for Emerging and Core, are higher than NesoTMS's $99/month and $499/month, and Pacejet says implementation fees may apply. The products are not the same size: Pacejet covers many ERPs, LTL and 3PL carriers and retail compliance, and NesoTMS covers NetSuite, UPS and FedEx parcel and FedEx Freight. Compare them on what you need, not on the price alone.
