Shipmate joins the Patchworks connector marketplace

Shipmate is now on Patchworks

The way high-volume retailers build their tech stacks has changed. Rather than stitching point-to-point integrations together and hoping nothing breaks, the smart operators are building around an integration layer, one that connects every part of the business, from storefront to warehouse to finance, and keeps data moving cleanly between them.

Patchworks is that integration layer for thousands of ambitious retailers. And from today, Shipmate is part of it.

What this means in practice

Patchworks is an iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) built specifically for eCommerce. It connects ERP, WMS, 3PL, POS, CRM, marketplace and sales channels into a single, automated data fabric so that orders, inventory, fulfilment status, and other data all flow where they need to go, without manual intervention.

With Shipmate now available as a native connector in the Patchworks marketplace, you can wire your parcel management and carrier despatch directly into that same fabric.

This means:

• Orders flowing into Shipmate automatically as part of a wider Patchworks workflow

• Shipmate sits neatly alongside your ERP, WMS and online store - no awkward middleware or manual exports

• The ability to build end-to-end fulfilment automation that stretches from the moment an order is placed, to the moment it's despatched.

For operations teams managing high volumes across multiple carriers, it closes one of the more frustrating gaps in the stack.

Why Patchworks?

Patchworks is trusted by over 1,700 retailers including brands like Gymshark, Mint Velvet, and Castore. It's built for businesses that have outgrown out-of-the-box integrations and need something more robust - a platform that gives them full control over how data moves across their systems, without depending on development resource every time something needs to change.

That's a natural fit for Enterprise Merchant shippers. Our customers typically manage carrier relationships across multiple services, run complex despatch workflows, and sit within broader technology ecosystems. Patchworks gives them a way to connect all of that, and now Shipmate is a first-class partner in that ecosystem.

What this means for Shipmate customers

If you're already using Shipmate and running Patchworks, or evaluating it, the integration is ready to go. Shipmate is now available as a connector in the Patchworks marketplace, so you can start building it into your process flows straight away.

If you're not yet on Patchworks but your tech stack is growing in complexity – multiple sales channels, an ERP, a WMS, marketplaces – it's definitely worth a look.
