CourierManager vs RutaLive

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.
