Regional last-mile and same-day delivery in select Canadian metros, integrated alongside your national carriers in one workflow. Rate-shop where FleetOptics serves, fall back to Canada Post, UPS, or FedEx everywhere else.
FleetOptics fills a gap the national carriers can't: fast, reliable, regional last-mile in the metros where most Canadian ecommerce demand is. We integrate it the way operators actually use it, alongside national carriers in the same fulfillment workflow.
Every FleetOptics service is supported. Pick by speed at the order level, set defaults at the SKU or client level, or let rate shopping pick the cheapest eligible service for each shipment in the served metros.
FleetOptics rates pulled live for every shipment, sized against actual package weight and dimensions. Quoted in Canadian dollars. The cheapest eligible service that meets your delivery deadline ships.
FleetOptics serves Greater Toronto, Greater Vancouver, Greater Montreal, and Greater Hamilton, with continued expansion. Roughly 7 million households nationally. CanShip auto-detects whether a destination is in coverage. If yes, FleetOptics rates appear in the rate-shop. If no, your national carriers handle the shipment.
FleetOptics' same-day service in served metros is a competitive edge for ecommerce brands serving local customers. CanShip surfaces it as a delivery option at the order level when the shipment is in coverage.
Industry-standard 4x6 thermal labels printed directly from CanShip. Compatible with Zebra ZD420, Brother QL-1100, Dymo LabelWriter, and any thermal printer. Same printer, same workflow as your other carriers.
The moment a FleetOptics label prints, CanShip captures the tracking number and writes it back to the originating order in Shopify, Amazon, or Extensiv. Customer notifications fire automatically. Your client portals update instantly.
Below is the setup flow for bringing your own FleetOptics account. Marketplace path is even simpler: toggle FleetOptics on in CanShip's Carriers page and skip directly to shipping. About 30 seconds.
From CanShip's Carriers page, add your FleetOptics account number and API access credentials. Stored encrypted at rest, transmitted over TLS only.
Print test labels for an in-coverage destination (a major Canadian metro address) and an out-of-coverage one. CanShip validates that FleetOptics rates appear when expected and your fallback carriers take over when not.
Set your FleetOptics defaults (preferred service tier, fallback rules when out-of-coverage) and start shipping. Total setup including testing: about fifteen minutes.
Most US WMS treat regional Canadian carriers as third-party afterthoughts, if they support them at all. CanShip integrates FleetOptics natively, with the same rate-shopping, label, and tracking-writeback workflow as the national carriers. Same dashboard, same picker UI.
Breakthrough Studio, our own 3PL in Metro Vancouver, ships FleetOptics for our local BC customers every day. Same-day and next-day delivery is a real conversion-driver and we built the integration around how it actually works on the floor.
FleetOptics doesn't serve every Canadian destination. CanShip's rate-shop logic detects coverage automatically and surfaces FleetOptics only where the carrier delivers. Out of coverage, your national carriers take over. No manual carrier-selection logic to maintain.
For ecommerce brands serving customers in Canada's major metros, same-day delivery is one of the most powerful conversion levers. FleetOptics makes it possible without an in-house delivery operation, and CanShip wires it directly into your fulfillment workflow.
FleetOptics is included starting on the Grow plan ($299 CAD/mo). Free and Starter tiers focus on the national carriers (Canada Post, UPS, FedEx). Brands shipping enough volume to justify FleetOptics typically hit the Grow tier anyway.
Default is BYOC: your own FleetOptics account, your negotiated rates, no per-shipment fee from us. Or opt into the CanShip marketplace per carrier (transparent $0.50 + 6% fee, same as the marketplace path on other carriers) and skip the account setup. Toggle either way, any time.
We'd rather flag the practical limitations up front than have you discover them in production. The two below cover almost all real-world questions Canadian operators ask about FleetOptics.
FleetOptics serves major urban and suburban markets across Canada (Greater Toronto, Greater Vancouver, Greater Montreal, Greater Hamilton, with continued expansion). Outside the served metros, shipments fall back to your national carriers. We surface this clearly during rate shopping so there's no surprise at the order level.
Same-day service has hard cutoff times (typically morning or early afternoon, region-dependent). CanShip enforces cutoff windows on the order level so customer expectations match what FleetOptics will actually deliver.
