SHIP.com Introduces AI Shipping Manager and Agentic Commerce Tools for Online Sellers

Published

on

SHIP AI proactively analyzes orders, recommends shipping options and prepares shipments while keeping financial approval in the seller. SHIP MCP extends more than 35 shipping capabilities into Claude and AI-built applications, allowing developers to embed rating, labeling, tracking, and other shipping functions directly into agentic commerce workflows.

OLEAN, N.Y., Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ship.com today announced two artificial intelligence tools designed to streamline shipping processes for sellers and AI builders: SHIP AI™, a proactive AI shipping manager for online sellers, and SHIP MCP™, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration that brings Ship.com shipping capabilities directly into Claude Desktop CLI as an MCP connector while enabling builders to incorporate shipping into AI applications and agentic commerce workflows.

The launches come as artificial intelligence becomes embedded in everyday business operations, while shipping still requires significant manual work. In the second quarter of 2026, 61% of surveyed U.S. small and midsized businesses reported actively using AI, while another 29% were experimenting with it, according to Pax8.

Now, with SHIP AI, ecommerce businesses can automate order processing and label generation while gaining greater visibility into shipping costs, delivery options, and fulfillment workflows. The system proactively prepares shipping work, reducing the manual steps sellers need to complete.

“A general chatbot gives you an answer. SHIP AI does the work,” said Joe DiSorbo, founder and CEO of Ship.com. “It works like a shipping manager sitting next to you, not another chat bot waiting for the right question.”

SHIP AI is at the Seller’s Side

SHIP AI is designed to analyze incoming orders, fix order issues, and optimize cost and deliverability – all before the sellers begin fulfillment.

Available within the Ship.com web platform, the tool was built specifically for ecommerce shipping workflows rather than as a general-purpose chatbot layered onto shipping software.

SHIP AI can determine package details, choose shipping options, correct addresses, flag inconsistencies, and prepare multiple orders to ship at once.

By helping sellers identify more cost-effective shipping methods and eliminate repetitive tasks, the system is designed to reduce shipping costs while improving fulfillment efficiency. Users can also direct SHIP AI to update dashboards, run reports, and analyze costs and delivery times.

“We built the software to work like a new employee,” DiSorbo said. “It can analyze the orders, identify the problems, and recommend solutions, but ultimately the user decides how much authority to give it. As the system learns and becomes more reliable, the user can opt in to more SHIP AI automation.”

Automation Expands with Seller Trust

The system is fully interactive, allowing users to ask SHIP AI to update dashboards, run reports, and analyze costs and delivery times, giving sellers greater visibility into their shipping operations and control over what work the AI performs.

SHIP AI automates shipping preparation and analysis while keeping financial decisions under the seller’s control. By default, monetary transactions, including purchasing labels, adding insurance, and reloading an account balance, require seller approval, with costs displayed before completion.

“The goal is to move the seller from manual order processing to approving work that has already been completed,” DiSorbo explained. “Users are already asking SHIP AI how to save money, reduce their shipping costs, choose optimal shipping methods and assess which plan makes the most sense for their account.”

SHIP AI has been live for Ship.com users since August 11, 2026, with the complete experience free to try for at least 30 days. In the first week of the beta launch, more than 30% of orders were purchased through SHIP AI.

“Shipping a twenty-order batch could take about 25 minutes when a seller has to work through each order one by one,” DiSorbo said. “With SHIP AI, depending on how much automation the seller allows, that same work could take even less than a minute.”

SHIP MCP Connects Claude and AI Applications to Shipping Workflows

SHIP MCP brings more than 35 Ship.com shipping capabilities to Claude and other AI-built products. It is available through Claude Desktop CLI, by searching “Ship.com” in Claude’s connector directory, and directly to AI builders and creators through the Ship.com website.

Through the MCP standard, SHIP MCP allows developers to incorporate capabilities such as rating, labeling, and tracking directly into AI applications. Rather than requiring users to leave an application to complete shipping, developers can make those functions part of the products they are building.

“We’ve found that the first customers have embedded Ship.com into their own AI application, with orders rated, labeled, and tracked. The first steps in fully autonomous agentic commerce,” DiSorbo said. “The world will soon be filled with billions of agents conducting commerce directly with each other. We strive to be the leader in agentic commerce shipping solutions for the AI economy.”

Saledock Gives Celerant ONE Retailers One Place to Market, Message and Manage Every Customer Conversation

Published

on

By

CES gives UK retailers a central marketing hub connected to live sales data.

KINGSTON UPON HULL, England, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saledock, a Celerant company, today launched Customer Engagement Suite (CES) for Celerant ONE, giving UK retailers a central hub for email marketing, SMS, social media, reputation management and every customer conversation, from website live chat to WhatsApp messages.

Because CES connects in real time to Celerant ONE’s ePOS and eCommerce, retailers can automate targeted, personalised messages based on what customers do in-store and online, using the customer, sales, and product information already in their system.

Marketing That Knows What Your Customers Bought

Most independent retailers manage customer communication across a patchwork of tools: one for email, another for text messages, a social media scheduler, review sites, a WhatsApp inbox and a separate live chat on their website. None of those tools know what a customer bought last week, so campaigns stay generic and staff waste time exporting lists and copying product details between systems.

CES closes that gap. It sits inside Celerant ONE and draws directly on the data retailers already have, including customer records, in-store and online sales history, and product images and information. The result is marketing that reflects real buying behaviour, built and sent from the same platform the retailer uses to run the shop.

How It Works

Retailers can set up automated workflows triggered by what happens at the till or on their website, and get as creative as they like. A workflow might thank a customer after their first purchase, follow up with shoppers who bought a particular brand or category, or win back customers who haven’t visited in a while, by email or SMS. Once it’s set, it runs in the background.

For retailers who don’t want to build workflows from scratch, a built-in AI agent can create them, so even a small team can put automated marketing to work.

Building a campaign is faster too. Product images and descriptions come straight from Celerant ONE, so there’s no need to recreate content that already exists in the catalogue.

With CES, Celerant ONE retailers can:

Automate email and SMS campaigns based on in-store and online purchase activityLet the built-in AI agent build workflows for themAnswer website live chat and WhatsApp messages from a single inboxSchedule posts and engage with followers across Facebook, Instagram, and their other social channelsMonitor and respond to customer reviews to protect their reputationReduce the number of separate marketing and messaging tools they pay for and manage

“Retailers already own their most valuable marketing asset, which is their customer and sales data,” said Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer at Celerant Technology. “The problem is that data usually sits in one system while their email, texts, reviews, and social media live somewhere else. CES puts all of it in one place and connects it to every sale, so a retailer can send a message that’s actually relevant to that customer without exporting a list or logging into a handful of different tools.”

“Running a shop leaves very little time for marketing, and jumping between different apps to do it doesn’t help,” said Layla Gladwin, Managing Director of Saledock. “With CES, everything a retailer needs to talk to their customers is inside Celerant ONE and connected to what’s happening at the till and online. Set up a workflow once, or let the AI agent build it for you, and it keeps working while you get on with serving customers.”

Availability

Customer Engagement Suite is available now as an optional add-on for Celerant ONE retailers. Existing Celerant ONE retailers can contact their Saledock account representative to get started. Retailers considering new ePOS and eCommerce software can request a Celerant ONE demonstration to see CES and the complete platform at [https://www.saledock.com/customer-enagagement-suite/]
