What ShipHawk is

ShipHawk describes its offer as a unified warehouse and fulfillment solution: a warehouse management system (WMS) and advanced shipping (TMS) for any ERP and every shipment, parcel, LTL and full truckload. On its NetSuite page it calls itself a Hybrid SuiteApp. It says shipping rates come on demand when you click Get Rates on the item fulfillment, business rules automate carrier and service choices, and shipping data is written back to item fulfillments. It lists parcel, LTL, FTL and freight broker services, Smart Packing (cartonization that picks the box or pallet), a handheld Dimensioner that writes weights and dimensions to the NetSuite item record, and ShipHawk Audit for parcel and freight audit and reconciliation. It also says its advanced shipping and WMS offer customers unlimited users.

ShipHawk says its default NetSuite plugin is a standalone web tool where warehouse employees generate the label and dispatch the shipment, and that a deeper in-NetSuite process is possible through its APIs as a custom setup. Its site positions the product for high-volume, omni-channel shippers, and its carriers page names UPS, FedEx, USPS, FedEx Freight, DHL Express, Amazon Shipping, Canada Post and Purolator among many others; carriers it marks with an asterisk may carry additional integration requirements or fees.

What NesoTMS is

NesoTMS is a web workspace for NetSuite shipping and nothing wider. It reads item fulfillments or sales orders from NetSuite, lets packers record boxes at the Packing Station, rates your connected carrier accounts side by side, buys UPS and FedEx labels, books FedEx Freight LTL with its bill of lading, prints at the packing computer and writes tracking numbers, package weights and sizes, cost and ship status back to NetSuite. What a TMS for NetSuite should do covers the longer version.

NesoTMS has no warehouse management, no automatic box selection and no truckload. It is a good deal narrower in scope than ShipHawk.

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. NesoTMS is not an Oracle product and is not a Built for NetSuite SuiteApp.A Hybrid SuiteApp. Rates on demand from the item fulfillment, business rules, and shipping data written back to item fulfillments. The default NetSuite plugin is a standalone web tool for warehouse staff. Unlimited users.
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.Smart Packing cartonization selects the box or pallet and calculates packed dimensions and weights; no hardware is required, though many hardware integrations are supported. Its WMS adds dynamic scan-pack verification, cycle counting and license plating. A handheld Dimensioner writes weights and dimensions to NetSuite items.
Parcel carriersUPS and FedEx labels from your own accounts, US to US and US to Canada (a commercial invoice for Canada). USPS rates show next to them; USPS labels are sandbox only today.

ShipHawk also offers parcel and freight audit.

Stated limitsYour 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.

NoteChecked October 14, 2026 from the sources listed below. Vendors change plans and pages, so confirm anything that matters with them.

When ShipHawk is the better fit

  • You ship full truckload or use freight broker services as well as parcel and LTL. NesoTMS has one LTL carrier and no truckload.
  • Box and pallet choice drives your costs. ShipHawk's Smart Packing selects the box or pallet and calculates packed weight and dimensions; NesoTMS leaves box sizes to the packer or to the cartons NetSuite supplies.
  • You want rates inside the NetSuite item fulfillment itself. ShipHawk describes clicking Get Rates in NetSuite on the item fulfillment; NesoTMS shows rates on its own ship page, outside NetSuite.
  • You want one vendor for warehouse management, packing and shipping, with scan-pack verification, cycle counting and license plating from ShipHawk's WMS.
  • Your product records lack weights and dimensions, and a handheld Dimensioner that writes them back to NetSuite items would help.
  • You want parcel and freight invoice audit from the same vendor. ShipHawk lists it; NesoTMS doesn't offer it today.

When NesoTMS fits

  • You want to see the price before a demo: Basic $99/month, Advanced $499/month, a 15-day free trial that needs no card, and no per-label fee.
  • Your shipping is UPS and FedEx parcel plus an occasional FedEx Freight pallet.
  • Your packers already know which box they use, or NetSuite supplies the carton sizes, and you just need rates, a label and a clean write-back.
  • You want to set it up yourself from a short guide: connect NetSuite, connect your carriers, choose which orders to list, start shipping.
  • 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 send return labels. From a shipped order, Create return label fills in the customer's address, your return-to address and the boxes from the original label (UPS and FedEx, US to US).
  • You want shipping reports without a separate analytics project: 14 ready-made reports, your own saved and shared reports, and CSV or Excel export.

NesoTMS's limits, stated plainly

Against a platform of ShipHawk's scope, these are the gaps to weigh:

  • 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

    Decide if you need a WMS-class tool

    If you are replacing manual pick, pack and cycle count processes as well as shipping, a platform with a WMS fits. If NetSuite already handles the warehouse and only shipping is the problem, a narrower tool may be enough.

  2. 2

    List the freight modes

    Truckload and broker services point to ShipHawk. Parcel with the occasional pallet on FedEx Freight is what NesoTMS covers.

  3. 3

    Ask about packing

    Estimate what box selection is worth to you. If dimensional-weight charges are a large share of your carrier bill, packing optimization matters.

  4. 4

    Request prices from both

    ShipHawk doesn't publish prices, so ask for a quote. NesoTMS's plans are on its pricing page, and its demo runs in your browser.

Link to this answer

Does NesoTMS pick the right box like ShipHawk's Smart Packing?

No. NesoTMS doesn't select boxes. The packer enters the box sizes at the Packing Station or on the ship page, or they prefill from the package lines or cartons NetSuite already has.

Link to this answer

Does NesoTMS support full truckload or freight brokerage?

No. NesoTMS quotes and books LTL with FedEx Freight (US origin) and buys parcel labels from UPS and FedEx. ShipHawk lists LTL, FTL and freight broker services.

Link to this answer

Can NesoTMS replace a WMS?

No. NesoTMS isn't a warehouse management system. It handles packing records, rates, labels, printing, voids and the write-back to NetSuite, not receiving, put-away, picking or scan-pack verification.
