CourierManager vs Numus

CourierManager combines dispatch, hub sorting, linehaul, COD settlement, partner routing, and customer tracking in one platform. It is built for courier operations handling 5,000 to 100,000 shipments per month, and one instance can support an own fleet, partner couriers, or both. Built-in integrations route shipments to more than 20 courier companies. Premade e-commerce plugins cover WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, and Shopify, while a documented API and webhooks support adding and tracking shipments. The Android mobile app includes route views, shipment scanning, pickup and delivery actions, barcode bulk operations, and Bluetooth printing. Customers can view real-time shipment status and download proof of delivery with an electronic signature, courier photos, and GPS coordinates. The company says hosting and backups are in EU countries and the service is GDPR compliant. Monthly billing is based on shipment volume, with allowances and per-piece charges for extra shipments rather than per-user or per-feature fees. The Starter plan costs €100 a month and includes 1,000 shipments, with €0.35 shipment. Its first-month trial provides the full platform at no cost.

Numus is delivery software for managing orders, dispatch, tracking, proof of delivery, and payment. Orders from a booking site, staff-entered phone calls, and walk-ins enter one queue. Dispatchers can check driver availability, assign work, and send route and customer details to drivers’ phones. A fleet map refreshes every ten seconds, while customers can follow orders through a public link without an account or app. Proof of delivery uses a one-time code recorded on a timestamped order timeline described as immutable. Paystack supports card, bank transfer, USSD, and mobile money; rider cash collections are logged in daily reports. The fleet map uses OpenStreetMap, and driver navigation opens Google Maps or Apple Maps. Team tools include role-based staff logins, activity logging, and in-app chat with push notifications and message history. Business Suite and Driver apps are listed for iOS and Android and are free on the App Store and Google Play. Numus is aimed at delivery owners, dispatchers, riders, and counter staff, including teams on low-bandwidth networks. Its free plan is free and includes 10 monthly orders, one driver, five routes, live tracking, proof of delivery, and email notifications. WhatsApp Business ordering remains in development with no release date announced.
