ShipStation vs 3G Pacejet Shipping Comparison: Everything You Need to Know Before Choosing

3G Pacejet Shipping brings together two complementary pieces of logistics technology: the 3G transportation management suite and Pacejet’s multi-carrier parcel and LTL shipping software. The combined offering is aimed at shippers, third-party logistics providers and freight brokers who need to manage every mode of transport — parcel, LTL, truckload, intermodal and more — with a single, consistent set of rules for rating, routing and execution. The core problem it tackles is fragmentation: many organisations use one tool for parcel shipping at the warehouse dock, another for truckload planning and yet another for freight audit, which obscures total transportation cost and makes it difficult to choose the most economical option for each order. 3G’s approach is built on a highly configurable, rules-driven engine that optimises load building, mode selection and carrier choice while giving logistics teams visibility across their entire network. On the planning side, the suite provides order management, load optimisation, routing guides, tendering, appointment scheduling, tracking and freight settlement, supported by analytics that report on cost, service and carrier performance. The Pacejet components add rate shopping across parcel and LTL carriers at the point of packing, label and document generation, packing workflows and customer-facing shipping cost estimates at checkout. Deep integrations are a notable strength, particularly with ERP platforms such as Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica and Microsoft Dynamics, alongside warehouse systems, e-commerce platforms and carrier APIs. The software is cloud-hosted and is typically implemented for mid-market and enterprise manufacturers, distributors, retailers and logistics service providers that ship at meaningful volume and want to automate decisions rather than rely on manual carrier selection. Implementation usually involves configuration of business rules and integration work with the customer’s existing systems. Pricing starts from around USD 6,500; no free trial or free version is listed.
