Pacejet and Oracle NetSuite: shipping and transportation planning

Pacejet runs multi-carrier parcel and LTL rate shopping and shipping inside NetSuite, and 3Gtms adds transportation planning that consolidates orders and chooses mode and carrier. It is a Built for NetSuite SuiteApp, so users work from NetSuite records.

How Pacejet (3Gtms Pacejet Transportation Planning) connects to Oracle NetSuite

Built for NetSuite SuiteApp

Pacejet is installed as a SuiteApp and is described as achieving Built for NetSuite status for the transportation planning offering. Shipping actions occur from NetSuite fulfillment and order screens.

What usually breaks

  • !Item dimension and freight class gaps produce wrong LTL rates.
  • !Rate tables that are out of date cause margin surprises.
  • !Ship method mapping differences between sales orders and fulfillments give inconsistent carriers.
  • !Consolidation that ignores customer delivery windows creates late orders.
  • !Multi-location ship-from setup errors produce incorrect origin rates.

A private AI layer across both systems

Carrier decision review

A private assistant explains why a carrier was chosen on a shipment and flags cases where a cheaper compliant option existed, for logistics to review.

Freight spend questions

It answers spend by lane, carrier and customer from NetSuite and Pacejet data, with the query visible.

Item data audit

It finds items with missing dimensions or classes before they cause rating errors.

When something else fits better

  • ShipHawk is another NetSuite shipping SuiteApp with similar rate shopping.
  • A single-carrier native integration is enough when you use one carrier.
  • If you have a dedicated TMS already, integrate it instead of adding planning here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pacejet inside NetSuite?

Yes. It is delivered as a SuiteApp, so rating and shipping occur on NetSuite transactions rather than in a separate application.

What does the transportation planning add?

Beyond rating a single shipment, 3Gtms describes planning that consolidates orders and chooses mode and carrier. It adds value mainly when you ship many orders over shared lanes.

What data matters most?

Accurate item weights, dimensions and freight classes, plus current carrier rate tables. Rating errors usually trace back to those rather than to the software.
