Velocity5.0

ShipHero's rebuilt Wholesale flow is the center of gravity — mobile redesigns, LPN pallet picks, tighter API governance.

Current state
ShipHero's April release cadence is almost entirely Wholesale-focused, layering features and polish onto the new Wholesale flow that replaced the legacy system on April 1. Mobile gets standardized redesigns (Cycle Count, Wholesale Dashboard); the workflow gains LPN pallet/carton picks, default-settings governance, and inline API label voiding. On the platform side, unhealthy webhooks get auto-disabled — a real reliability tightening for integration partners.
Where it's heading
ShipHero is consolidating around a unified, mobile-first Wholesale experience for 3PLs running high-volume operations. The post-cutover work mostly closes capability gaps the legacy flow had (LPN handling, settings), suggesting confidence in the rebuild and budget freed for adjacent investment. Replenishment got a V2 UI alongside, hinting at a broader app-wide redesign cycle.
Prediction
Expect similar treatment for Returns and Receiving — both still on older mobile patterns. The webhook-disable policy is a precedent that more API governance (rate limits, scope controls) will follow.

    Redesigned Mobile Cycle Count Experience

    Mobile Cycle Count gets a redesign aligned with the rest of the mobile suite — clearer progress, discrepancy and pending-action visuals. Continues the platform-wide push toward a single mobile UI vocabulary.

    Public API - Customer Webhooks: Unhealthy endpoints will be automatically disabled

    From April 20 ShipHero auto-disables persistently failing webhook endpoints. A real API-governance change — partners must monitor delivery health or lose endpoints, tightening platform reliability at the cost of integrator vigilance.

    New: Wholesale - Entire LPN Pick Support

    Pick and move entire LPNs (pallets or cartons) end-to-end through Mobile and Manual Wholesale flows. A meaningful capability for pallet-in/pallet-out 3PLs and one of the higher-impact items in the post-cutover Wholesale stream.

    New: Wholesale Order Default Settings

    New Wholesale Settings page gives 3PLs and warehouse managers explicit control over picking flows, mandatory scanning, and order-type defaults. Operational governance — the kind of admin surface mature WMSes need to hand to ops leads.
