International Lifting & Shipping
Simplifying complex heavy lift and shipping logistics for a specialist with global reach.
Neutral courier gateway
The courier gateway is a neutral platform that brings together a selection of couriers to assist with the return of courier shipments. Your agreement is with your nominated courier, with all terms and conditions of carriage relevant to your selected provider.
We built a system that provides courier options based on criteria such as destination, weight, and the dimensions of each shipment — making complex shipping decisions simple.


Tackling complex logistics
Any changes in weights are billed according to the courier’s check weights. Most cut-off weights per parcel are dependent on size, but as a guide, all single items up to 30kg are considered courier shipments. Anything above this is considered freight, affecting the available service options.
The platform integrates with world-leading shipment systems so that customers globally receive their orders on time and in the way that suits them best.
Everything an exhibitor needs to send goods home
Exhibitors use the gateway during breakdown, from inside the exhibition hall. We built it to:
- Compare courier quotes through Metapack, from the weight and dimensions of each parcel
- Tie every booking to the show, with the event, stand details and a collection date and time
- Offer a separate collect-from-stand service at a set price for each event
- Find addresses from a UK postcode and take card payments through Sage Pay with 3D Secure
- Produce courier labels, address labels and commercial invoices as PDFs
- Give the ILS team an admin area to set up events and cut-off dates and follow each shipment
