We run a 3PL
Breakthrough Studio stores and ships orders for ecommerce brands. It ran on two US-built tools: one for stock and orders, and another for labels, because the first didn't connect to most Canadian carriers.
About CanShip
We built this because we needed it ourselves.
CanShip is made by My Passion Media Inc., a British Columbia company that also runs Breakthrough Studio, a 3PL in Metro Vancouver. We ran the warehouse first, then built the software.
Our story
From our warehouse, to yours.
Every hand-off is a place to break
When stock and orders live in one tool and labels in another, tracking has to travel between them before it reaches the store. Every hop is one more thing to watch.
Stock, orders, labels and tracking in one place
CanShip started as BTS Ship, our in-house warehouse system. Breakthrough Studio now runs entirely on it, and we offer it to other Canadian 3PLs and brands.
The company
Canadian, by ownership and by hosting.

Breakthrough Studio
Our 3PL in Metro Vancouver. Its client orders run through CanShip, so new features get used on real orders by our own team.

Four rules the product follows.
Plenty of warehouse software can ship a Canadian parcel. These are the choices we made because we run a Canadian warehouse ourselves.
Canadian carriers first
Canada Post connects by signing in with your Canada Post account. UPS, FleetOptics, UniUni and Stallion Express connect directly, and Canpar runs through ShipStation today.
Prices in public, in CAD
Our plans are published, from $99 CAD a month. Many warehouse software vendors only give a price on a sales call.
Built for 3PLs
Multiple clients in one account, carriers assigned per client, and read-only client logins on Pro.
Your carrier rates, no label fee
You keep your own carrier accounts and negotiated rates. CanShip adds nothing per label.
