Shippeo vs Terminal49

Shippeo provides real-time transportation visibility and predictive ETAs for shippers, carriers, and logistics providers. Its platform tracks shipments across road, sea, rail, and air, with coverage also described for ports and terminals, intermodal rail, parcel, and last-mile transport. Teams can follow shipment milestones and receive early warnings about disruption risks. Operations tools include shipment communication, branded recipient portals with live shipment information, digital transport documents, proof of delivery, carbon visibility, and detention and demurrage functions. Shippeo AI uses specialized agents for work such as tracking and data quality, and can analyze data and propose fixes in workflows. The Integration Hub connects enterprise systems including TMS, ERP, road planning tools, CRMs, and data lakes; named partners include SAP, CGI, HARDIS Supply Chain, e2open, and Elemica. Shippeo says data is stored in the European Union, access is role-managed, and customers retain ownership. It also says default collection does not involve continuous 24/7 tracking. Pricing is on request, and businesses are directed to contact sales or book a demo. The platform is listed for web, iOS, Android, and API.
