Custom Data & CSV Export Options in Shipmate

Custom Data & CSV Exports in Shipmate

At Shipmate, we know how important data flexibility and control are to your daily operations. That’s why we’re excited to roll out one of our most-requested enhancements: Custom Data & CSV Export Options.

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all CSV reports. With our new Data & CSV Export Tool, you decide what gets included in your data exports, ready to download, right from the Shipments list page.

Why We Built It

The standard CSV export was helpful, but limited. Users told us they needed:

  • Control over which fields appear in their exports

  • Data formats that matched their internal systems

  • A way to prevent unnecessary or sensitive data from being downloaded

This upgrade solves all of that, and more.

Key Features

  • Custom Export Formats
    Choose exactly which data columns appear in your CSV or spreadsheet file and in what order. Tailor your exports to suit your workflow or third-party system requirements.

  • Flexible Output Types
    Generate exports at either the Shipment or Parcel level depending on your needs.

  • Format Options
    Customise delimiters, character encoding (e.g., UTF-8), file extensions including .csv, .txt, .xls, and more.

  • Real-Data Previews
    Instantly preview your export format using a live Shipment reference – see exactly how the data will look before downloading.

  • Smart Download Buttons
    Shipmate remembers your default or last-used export preference and shows the right button in the right place – no fuss, no clutter.

  • Granular Permissions
    Admins can assign specific export formats to different user roles – especially useful for Enterprise customers.

Built With Security in Mind

Admins can disable CSV downloads entirely for General Users. Plus, the new system ensures that only permitted formats are shown and accessible.

What This Means for You

You get cleaner, more relevant data with fewer workarounds. Whether you're feeding data into ERP systems, sharing reports with partners, or running internal audits, Shipmate now fits your process, not the other way around – Your Data. Your Format. No Compromises.

Ready to Try It?

This feature is now available across all Shipmate Enterprise accounts. To enable Custom Data & CSV exports, visit:
