Alternative to Webshipper

For companies in the Nordics and Europe shipping more than 100,000 parcels a year.
Last updated 12 August 2026.

Webshipper is an effective piece of freight software for webshops that want to automate their order flow and save time on labels. That is exactly what it solves. If you ship more than 100,000 parcels a year, the problem starts to look different — not because the software fails, but because software alone is not enough. You still have to negotiate carrier agreements yourself, handle customs and coordinate with the carriers when something goes wrong.

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

Webshipper is a BYOC system — Bring Your Own Carrier. You upload your own carrier agreements. That means you still have to negotiate, renew and maintain agreements with every single carrier yourself. The software is new; the work is the same.

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. Webshipper's customs function handles export documentation, not full customs clearance. Ask who owns the process the day a shipment gets stuck in customs.

Webshipper is built for e-commerce parcels. B2B orders, store replenishment and heavy goods should not live in a separate system with its own setup, its own data and its own support.

Webshipper offers a Customer Success Manager as a paid add-on. It is not standard. Ask whether you get a named contact who knows your setup as part of the agreement, or whether you pay extra for it. You only feel the difference the day something is urgent.

With Webshipper you have the software. The carrier agreements are yours. And customs you handle separately. When a shipment gets stuck, you are the one coordinating across all of it. Ask yourself who owns the problem, and whether that is the best use of your time.

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.


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.


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 size and complexity. Webshipper is a strong self-service tool for webshops shipping up to around 60,000 parcels a year that want to manage the freight process themselves.

Companies shipping more than 100,000 parcels a year with customs, B2B or pallets in the mix should consider Homerunner, where platform, carrier agreements and operations are delivered as one combined service — without you having to negotiate with the carriers yourself.

Yes, but it is not a direct substitute.
Webshipper is software; Homerunner is a service. At Homerunner you do not own the system yourself: carrier agreements, customs clearance and day-to-day operations are part of the agreement. It is a different choice, not simply a different system.

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.

You can choose to use your own if they are better than the ones we have negotiated, or a mix of yours and ours.

With Homerunner you get access to our agreements, which are based on large volumes with the biggest carriers — and therefore a more attractive price.


Webshipper is part of the nShift group, one of Northern Europe's largest logistics software conglomerates. That brings infrastructure strength in the background, but it does not change the fundamental model: you are still using software, and you are still coordinating with the carriers yourself.
