Parcel rates and billing software

The right rate
on every label.

Paved adds its rates to the rate shop you already run. Enter one credential in the system you ship from, and Paved's rates show up next to your other providers. Nothing else about your process changes.

No implementation fees, and no Paved fees added later. When the carrier invoice comes in, every label is reconciled against it.

Getting started

Weeks of integration work before the first label.

With PavedOne credential and a 20-minute call. Rates go live once your balance is funded.

What it costs

Implementation fees, and charges that show up later.

With PavedNo implementation fees. No Paved fees added later.

When the invoice comes

Three weeks later, with dim-weight adjustments nobody matched to a label.

With PavedEvery label reconciled, every adjustment explained.

The rate in your rate shop is the rate Paved bills. If a carrier adjusts a package, you see the line and the reason.
Where Paved sits

A provider, not another carrier.

Carriers move the box. Paved supplies the rate and generates the label. Your system compares it with your other providers, your team prints from where they always have, and Paved keeps the record of what every label cost.

  1. CarriersNational, regional and final-mile carriers

    Rates through Paved's accounts and partner programs.

  2. ProviderSupplies the rate, generates the label

    One credential, one prepaid balance, one record of every label.

  3. Your systemWMS, OMS, cart or your own code

    Your rate shop, where Paved's rates sit next to your other providers.

  4. The packageThe label on the box

    The right carrier for that package, at a price you can explain.

One account, several rate cards

Paved works with national, regional and final-mile carriers through its own accounts and partner programs. Each rate card shows up in your rate shop, so a 6 oz mailer and a 20 lb box each get a rate built for them.

Inside the system you already use

Enter one credential and Paved's rates appear next to your other providers. Paved connects to warehouse and shipping systems directly, starting with the ones our clients run. Onboarding is a 20-minute call.

One prepaid balance

Fund it by ACH, card or wire. Set a floor and a reload amount and it tops itself up. Every label, credit and carrier adjustment is tracked against it, so the balance always explains itself.

The Benchmark

A report built from the last 30 days of your carrier invoices and an order export. It compares what you paid against Paved's rates and shows where your shipping actually stands: savings by lane, margin by client, adjustments that never reached an invoice, and the packages riding the wrong carrier.

For 3PLsIn build

Client Billing and Reconciliation

Paved's billing and reconciliation tool for 3PLs, a product in build now. Invoice day becomes a review instead of a build: every carrier charge lands on the right client at the right price, with the evidence attached.

  1. ImportCarrier invoices come in by FTP, API or upload.
  2. MatchEvery line is tied to a warehouse and a client. A line with no client becomes a task, never a gap in the invoice.
  3. PriceEach client is priced from the profile you set: flat, percentage or a markup on the rate card.
  4. ReconcileManifested against billed, by carrier and client. Each adjustment is rebilled, absorbed or disputed.
  5. InvoiceOne branded invoice per client, exported to QuickBooks or your ERP.
Who it is for

3PLs, merchants and platforms.

3PL

print the right label for every client without anyone thinking about it, bill each client accurately for it, and keep my margin on every one.

Start with
A margin Benchmark across your client accounts: cost against billed, by client and lane.
Then
Paved Rates per client under one balance, and Client Billing as it opens.

Merchant

ship the cheapest label that still arrives when I told the customer it would, and know what shipping really costs me on every order.

Start with
A savings Benchmark from your carrier invoices and order history, by lane and service.
Then
Paved Rates next to the carrier you already have, so each package rides the cheaper one.

Platform

offer shipping inside my product without becoming a carrier expert, make my customers stickier, and have it pay for itself.

Start with
The draft API reference and a conversation about how your tenants ship today.
Then
One integration that lets every tenant print on Paved Rates inside your product.
The Paved API

One call. Rate, buy, reconcile.

In build · draft v0

Send the shipment and get back rates. Or send a rule, such as best value, and get back the label, tracking, the price and the reason for the pick. Every label is reconciled against the carrier invoice. Sub-accounts let a platform or 3PL ship for many shippers under one integration, each with its own prepaid balance.

The API is in draft v0. The reference is written, and the sandbox comes next.

For carriers and partners

Working with Paved.
