Alternative to Seven Senders

For companies in the Nordics and Europe shipping more than 100,000 parcels a year.
Last updated 06 August 2026.


Seven Senders is a Berlin-based cross-border platform with 100+ European carriers and a well-documented product for international parcel delivery. If your main challenge is getting parcels delivered locally across European markets, they do that well. If you ship from the Nordics, or you need pallets, B2B freight or a partner that brings all of logistics into one contractual relationship, Seven Senders is not built for it.

Homerunner is a single logistics service for companies shipping more than 100,000 parcels a year across the Nordics and Europe. Platform, carrier agreements, customs clearance and day-to-day operations are part of one agreement, so you can spend your time on the business instead of on the system. Add direct access to your live freight data through MCP services, and you stay ahead of the business at all times.

Five questions that decide whether a switch is worth it

Seven Senders is built primarily for Central European distribution with a focus on Germany, France, Benelux and the UK. Denmark and Sweden are not highlighted as core markets.

Norway appears only in connection with customs clearance. If you ship from and to the Nordics, your logistics partner should treat that as home ground, not as a footnote.

Seven Senders is a parcel platform. If you ship pallets, have B2B deliveries to retail chains, or mix parcels and heavy goods, you need a separate solution with its own setup and its own support. That is not one unified setup.

Seven Senders offers DDP customs clearance to Switzerland, the UK and Norway for outbound e-commerce. The EU customs changes from 1 July 2026 have made correct HS codes and product data a requirement, not a detail, and the rules tighten further towards 2028.

Ask whether the customs coverage matches your actual markets and product types, and who owns the compliance responsibility the day something gets stuck.

Seven Senders has a claims platform (claim.me) that automates the claims process. That is useful. But it is reactive — it assumes something has already gone wrong.

Ask whether you get one dedicated contact who knows your setup and acts proactively before the customer writes to you.



Seven Senders connects you to a carrier network through a single API. That solves integration and standardisation. It does not solve who owns the commercial carrier relationships and negotiates prices. Ask what your freight price actually is, and who negotiates it.

This is what you get with Homerunner

Carrier agreements, platform and operations in one agreement
At Homerunner you are not buying a software licence and building the rest yourself. You get the platform, the carrier agreements and the day-to-day operations in the same agreement, with one invoice and one place to call.


One setup for every carrier
A multi-carrier network without having to negotiate, integrate and maintain every single carrier agreement yourself. We orchestrate across carriers in the Nordics and Europe, so you can switch, combine and add without a new integration project every time.


Nordic roots and European reach
Homerunner is built with the Nordics as its core market. It is not a peripheral market we cover through a European network — it is home ground. From there we expand into the rest of Europe.


Customs and customs clearance as part of what is delivered
Cross-border is where logistics costs the most when it fails. At Homerunner customs clearance is part of what is delivered: documentation, DDP and DDU per market, and help when a shipment gets stuck in customs.


Parcels and pallets in the same flow
Parcels, pallets and groupage freight are handled in the same flow, with the same data and the same support. B2B and B2C do not need separate systems, and store replenishment runs alongside the customer orders.


Live freight data through MCP
Your freight data should work for you, not sit in a report. At Homerunner you can connect your own AI tools directly to live shipment data through MCP and ask freely: delivery quality per carrier, broken logistics chains, checkout setups that cost you conversion. The answer arrives while there is still time to act on it.


Click & Collect and parcel lockers
Delivery choice has become a competitive factor in checkout. We support Click & Collect to your own stores and delivery to parcel lockers, so your customers can choose the collection option that suits them without you having to build and maintain the integrations. You can also rent parcel lockers from us if you want your own for handovers.


Containers and imports
If you also bring goods in from Asia, Homerunner handles container transport from production to warehouse. That connects inbound and outbound logistics in one holistic setup instead of across two suppliers. From container to the customer's door, all handled in the same intuitive platform.


Support with product depth
Our support is built on a strong mix of people and AI. We monitor your shipments 24/7 to anticipate events that could disrupt delivery, and if something does happen, we send a notification to the recipient. If you have questions about parcels or setup, we are ready to help. You are never on your own with Homerunner.

What does switching take?

A system change has four phases, whichever system you are coming from. We start by mapping your current agreements and integrations. Then comes setting up the new flow alongside the old one. Next is a test period with both systems running to make sure everything works, and finally the move of your full volume.

Integrations to ERP and WMS are typically the heavy part, and we build that into the plan from day one. Our onboarding team makes sure you know the procedures thoroughly before we go live.

Moving to Homerunner can take from around 14 days and up, depending on complexity and any special agreements.

Frequently asked questions ...

It depends on your geographic focus and your logistics needs. Seven Senders is strong on cross-border parcel delivery in Central Europe. Nordic companies shipping more than 100,000 parcels a year that want a single logistics partner with carrier agreements, customs and operations included — and with the Nordics as the core market — should consider Homerunner.

Yes. But it is a different choice with a different geographic starting point. Seven Senders is strongest from Central Europe outwards. Homerunner is strongest from the Nordics outwards.

Both deliver cross-border, but with different home ground and different breadth in the logistics service.


Homerunner is built on an API-first way of thinking, so we can integrate with most things.

Yes. Automatic customs clearance and handling of dangerous goods (both inside and outside the EU) is in fact one of our core capabilities, and it saves our customers an enormous amount of time.


Yes. Parcels, pallets and groupage freight run in the same flow with the same data and the same support, so B2B and B2C do not need separate systems.

Yes. Click & Collect to your own stores and delivery to parcel lockers are available as delivery options, alongside home delivery and parcel shops.
