Hours, not months: Parsel’s self-serve onboarding app gives shippers regional carrier access in under 24 hours
An alternative to nationals you can try in hours and scale with for years.
You may already know regional carriers are cheaper, but the perceived cost of adding them to your mix keeps you stuck with the nationals. Months-long rate negotiations, figuring out how to accommodate more sorting and pickup windows without decreasing efficiency, and ongoing relationship management make carrier diversification time consuming and risky.
Enter Parsel.
We’re a regional carrier network built for operators who want the savings without the complexity. We handle sortation, which means just one daily pickup for you, regardless of how many carriers you’re using. Just one integration, no carrier minimums, and no new SOPs. And now, no lengthy onboarding either.
Parsel’s new self-serve onboarding experience takes a shipper from sign-up to integration-ready in minutes and to shipping their first package in under 24 hours.
Most carrier or software onboarding looks like this:
Week 1: Intro call
Week 2: Technical scoping
Week 3: “We’ll get you your API credentials soon”
Week 4: Still waiting
Week 5: Your integration engineer has moved on to other projects
We decided to just…not do that. No onboarding calls. No waiting on our team to provision access. No billing until your first pickup.
“We were connected and shipping with our WMS in 15 minutes,” says Richard Hurley of Highline Commerce. “Labels print fast, with cheaper rates with no disruption. Parsel is seriously a game-changer.”
Try It Small. See It Work. Scale When You’re Ready.
With our new self-serve onboarding app, get your API key and a starter rate card on day one. Schedule a pickup the moment you’re integrated. Test our network at your own pace and when you’re ready to move to a regular cadence, we’ll set you up on a daily milk run and refine your rates.
You get:
→ Your API key
→ Your starter rate card
→ Configured sort-center routing
→ Your preferred contact method with our team
Your integration proceeds on your timeline. You can purchase real labels within hours. We stay available to accelerate, but no one is ever waiting on us. If you’re a 3PL or large shipper evaluating multi-carrier shipping intelligence, this is the fastest path from “interested” to “in production” in the industry.
How It Works
- Sign up at partner.parsel.app
- Grab your API key from the dashboard
- Plug it into your TMS or WMS
- Start purchasing shipping labels right away
- Schedule your single daily pickup
