ShipHero

ShipHero is no longer an outsourced 3PL. In August 2024 it spun off its fulfillment business as LVK Logistics, an apparel-focused 3PL led by former ShipHero COO Maggie Barnett. ShipHero today is a SaaS warehouse management system led by founder Aaron Rubin. Merchants looking for outsourced fulfillment should evaluate LVK directly or alternatives like ShipBob, ShipNetwork, and Red Stag.

ShipHero spun off its 3PL business into LVK Logistics in August 2024, so the apples-to-apples comparison for merchants is now LVK vs Flowspace. Pick LVK if you're a mid-market apparel DTC brand who values owned-warehouse consistency and the ShipHero WMS underneath, shipping 500+ orders per month. Pick Flowspace if you need software-led orchestration across a much wider partner network, with omnichannel DTC + retail (EDI) + B2B from one inventory pool.

ShipHero is the odd one out here, on purpose. As of August 2024 it spun off its outsourced fulfillment arm as LVK Logistics, and shiphero.com is now the warehouse-management software product. So it isn't a drop-in replacement for Red Stag's done-for-you service. It's the alternative for brands whose real conclusion is that maybe they should run this themselves. If you have your own space and staff, ShipHero's WMS gives you the pick-accuracy tooling and multi-channel order management to run a tight operation in-house, and the same software also powers third-party 3PLs, including LVK, its former fulfillment business. It's the wrong answer if you want to outsource, and the right one if the honest takeaway from shopping 3PLs is that you'd rather own the operation.
