Route to Ship
Live production tracking for made-to-order Shopify tores
Production OS for Shopify stores that engrave, embroider, personalize, or make-to-order. Paid orders flow into department queues automatically. Every plan includes a branded Customer Tracking Portal.
Hey Product Hunt — I'm Herman, the maker.
I built Route to Ship for my wife. She runs a Shopify store doing custom, made-to-order products: 3,000-5,000 orders a month, ~20 people on the production line. Her nightmare was never sales — it was orders getting lost between production steps (engraving, QC, packing). She held it together with spreadsheets and Zapier until they corrupted one too many times.
So I built her a tool that runs the whole production pipeline inside Shopify: every paid order auto-routes into the right department queue, each person sees exactly what's on their bench, and managers watch the whole floor live. I also added a branded customer tracking portal, so customers follow their order's production progress themselves — that cut her "where's my order?" messages by ~60%.
To be clear about what it is (and isn't): it's not shipping/label software or a courier tracker. It's a production workflow tool for stores that MAKE their products — engravers, embroiderers, jewelers, furniture makers, small-batch manufacturers.
It's live on the Shopify App Store with a free plan. I'd love honest feedback from the makers and merchants here — what would make this a no-brainer for your shop?
