Lichfield tech company Minster WMS is eyeing growth through a new software partnership with a leading custom shipping integration platform.
The leading warehouse and distribution management software provider has teamed up with Manchester-based Shipster – which connects online retailers, ecommerce warehouses and distributors with more than 100 leading couriers.
The partnership creates an end-to-end solution, offering new levels of automation and flexibility with packing and shipping in growing e-commerce and logistics markets.
Minster WMS works with the UK supply chain sector supporting e-commerce businesses, wholesale distributors and contract warehousing organisations that move products as diverse as food, sports equipment, cosmetics, stationery, cleaning materials, medical equipment, and furniture.

Phoebus van Deventer, Minster WMS Managing Director, said: “Shipster proved a breath of fresh air to the sector, offering outstanding simplicity and flexibility of integration, an appealing pricing model supporting businesses to scale, and exceptional support to our customers.
“Over the last 40 years Minster has developed a solution designed to streamline warehouse distribution and logistics processes, delivering greater accuracy, control and profitability.
“With our partnership with Shipster, we can extend those benefits to shipping and courier integration, providing a compelling out-of-the-box solution. I look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.”
