Managing multiple carriers, tracking shipping costs, meeting tight deadlines, and staying aligned with Oracle ERP is a daily challenge for logistics teams. Switching between tools often leads to errors, delays, and extra costs. That’s why ShipConsole’s smooth integration with both Oracle and MercuryGate is a game-changer.
This powerful solution combines everything into one platform. It gives users a single screen to manage multi-carrier shipping, perform real-time rate shopping, and coordinate with a TMS—without jumping between systems.
Without integration, businesses deal with disconnected systems, overspending, and shipping delays. ShipConsole fixes these issues by uniting MercuryGate’s TMS and Oracle ERP into one validated solution. The result? Streamlined workflows, lower costs, and full control over shipping—all in one place.
What is ShipConsole, and Why Does it Matter?
ShipConsole isn’t just another shipping tool—it’s enterprise-grade software made for Oracle users. It provides out-of-the-box integration with Oracle Cloud ERP (Fusion Applications), Oracle E-Business Suite, JD Edwards, and NetSuite.
Built for Oracle systems, ShipConsole connects your ERP to top transportation platforms like MercuryGate. It brings everything together—multi-carrier shipping, rate shopping, freight quoting, outbound and inbound shipping, and even employee campus shipments.
It also offers a document repository, powerful APIs, and automation tools like print-and-apply labeling. ShipConsole helps businesses ship faster, smarter, and with fewer errors—while staying fully connected to their ERP.
How ShipConsole Simplifies Shipping with MercuryGate Integration
Rate Shopping API: Speed + Savings
Everything starts with ShipConsole’s smart Rate Shopping API. During the Oracle pick release process, this API connects with MercuryGate and pulls real-time quotes from multiple carriers. Users can compare price, delivery time, carrier, and service level—all inside Oracle.
You don’t need to guess. You don’t need to switch tabs. Just get fast, clear quotes and pick the best option based on your business rules.
Real-Time Integration: Because Timing is Everything
One of the biggest benefits of this integration is real-time communication. Oracle, ShipConsole, and MercuryGate stay in sync at every step. This includes:
- Pickup and delivery addresses
- Carrier and service level
- Shipping costs
- Freight class, weight, and package size
- Item-level shipment details
Whether you’re sending one carton or handling hundreds of orders a day, real-time syncing keeps things accurate, quick, and flexible.
Business Rules: Automate the Smart Way
ShipConsole does more than speed things up—it makes them smarter. You can set custom business rules to automatically pick carriers based on delivery dates, package size, customer preferences, or cost.
This reduces the need for manual decisions and ensures consistent choices. It’s like giving your shipping software built-in logic that works for you.
Multi-Carrier Rate Quotes Made Easy
ShipConsole gives you access to live rates from many carriers through MercuryGate. Whether you’re shipping with FedEx, UPS, DHL, or local carriers, you can view them all in one place.
And you won’t have to manage each carrier’s API yourself. MercuryGate handles those technical details—ShipConsole simply delivers the results inside Oracle.
Shipment Execution + Data Sync: All in One Place
Once you select a carrier and book a shipment, ShipConsole handles the next steps. It sends all the shipment data back to MercuryGate, including:
- Origin and destination
- Carrier and service type
- Freight cost
- Weight, size, and freight class
- Item-level shipping data
Everything updates in both Oracle and MercuryGate, so the systems stay aligned. No rework. No missing data.
Need to Void a Shipment? No Problem.
Mistakes happen, and when they do, ShipConsole lets users void shipments right from the interface. The voided shipment is also automatically canceled in MercuryGate, so there’s no need to manually delete it in two places. No double entry. No risk of errors.
Complete Ship Confirmation from ShipConsole
When you’re ready to ship, confirm, you can do that right inside ShipConsole. It updates tracking numbers and shipping costs in Oracle ERP and completes the confirmation—all in one smooth step.
Final Thoughts: Why This Integration Matters
The integration between ShipConsole and MercuryGate isn’t just technical—it’s a strategic upgrade. It helps companies:
- Cut costs with real-time multi-carrier rate shopping
- Remove manual steps using automated rules
- Keep shipment data accurate across all systems
- Speed up shipping and improve customer satisfaction
If you use Oracle ERP and want better control over your shipping process, the MercuryGate + ShipConsole integration is exactly what your operations need. It simplifies logistics, reduces errors, and gives your team the tools to make smart shipping decisions from one place.
