The platform

One dashboard for every delivery partner you use.

Motho sits between your store and the delivery partner networks. Orders come in, rates come back, waybills print, parcels move — and everything is tracked in one place instead of five portals.

01

Rate comparison

Live pricing across every connected courier for the exact parcel — weight, dimensions, service level and destination. Pre-negotiated Motho rates sit below retail, so comparison is a saving, not just a sort.

02

Booking & collections

Book a single order, a filtered batch, or your whole day in one action. Collections are requested with the courier automatically and confirmed back into the dashboard.

03

Waybills & labels

Correct paperwork generated per courier, printed to thermal or A4, with packing slips and manifests. No re-keying addresses into a courier portal.

04

Order sync

Orders flow in from Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or the Motho API. Addresses are validated on arrival, so failures are caught before a driver is dispatched.

05

Tracking & notifications

One tracking experience across all couriers, branded as yours. Email, SMS and WhatsApp updates keep the buyer informed and your support inbox quiet.

06

Returns & exceptions

Customer-initiated returns, failed-delivery recovery and re-routing handled in the same flow — no separate process per courier.

07

Automation rules

Cheapest under R100. Fastest for VIP tags. Pickup points for outlying suburbs. Write the rules once and Motho books to them.

08

Reporting

Spend per courier, delivery success by suburb, average time in transit and claim history — the numbers you need to renegotiate or reroute.

Under the hood

Delivery partners and systems that never talked to each other.

South African logistics runs on dozens of delivery partner platforms, road freight operators and accounting systems. Motho is the layer that makes them speak the same language, so your store, your delivery partners and your books stay in sync.

Delivery partner APIs

Rates, bookings, waybills, tracking events and PODs, normalised into one schema.

Road freight

Palletised and bulk movements alongside parcels, quoted in the same view.

Back office

Shipping costs pushed into your accounting and order systems automatically.
