Starshipit is a multi-carrier shipping app for Australia and New Zealand that connects many platforms to many carriers. OrderOps is Shopify-only fulfilment software that runs the whole floor, from picking to the printed label. Here is where they overlap and where they do not.

Ivory & Deene, where OrderOps was proven, moved from Starshipit. Their story says what changed and what did not, and switching from Starshipit covers the move step by step.
Two-way live sync, seconds after checkout. Orders land the moment they are paid, and fulfilment, tracking and stock flow straight back.
One queue, one pack panel, one key to print and move on. Keyboard first, scan when you want it, no print dialogs.
Shortest-walk pick routes through your racks, and box suggestions learned from how your team really packs.
For a Shopify store that picks and packs in-house, yes: OrderOps does the shipping job and the picking, packing, printing and inventory jobs around it. If you sell on other platforms too, Starshipit covers more of them.
Yes. Both tools connect your own carrier accounts. On OrderOps you connect Australia Post eParcel, StarTrack, Team Global Express, TNT and DHL Express directly, plus Aramex in beta, and other carriers on request.
Partly. Map each Shopify shipping method to a carrier service and it is pre-selected on every order; without a mapping, the cheapest live quote is picked. There is no rules engine for weight, value or destination, which is a real difference from Starshipit.
