Your supply chain is a mosaic of systems. Next Horizon orchestrates it.

One thread per item, one digital passport, every handoff in step, from the purchase order to the front door. Shipping, tracking and compliance on one system.

01 · LINEHAUL FOLLOWING ONE SHIPMENT

Two ways to plug in.

One account, from the first PO to the final delivery. Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, TikTok Shop and eBay connect natively, and Next Horizon plugs into the rest of your stack: ERP, WMS, TMS, OMS, PLM and carriers.

Carrier and fulfilment partners under one contract with Next Horizon: last mile, pickup points and lockers, warehousing and returns, ready to switch on from your account. Your own carrier accounts plug in beside them.

How our rates work

A verifiable passport per item, from purchase order to return.

Next Horizon serialises each item (SGTIN) and mints its digital passport, ready for your sector's regulation. The same identifier follows it everywhere, and each audience sees the right view: consumer, partner, regulator.

Every step writes to a different system. One number ties them together.

Each system keeps its own slice of the story. Next Horizon assigns one number at the origin and writes it everywhere.

The item keeps living, on the same passport.

The passport does not stop at delivery. It carries returns, repair, resale and take-back, and ownership passes from one owner to the next.

Returns The customer scans the QR, the brand already knows the exact item, batch and order. A return label in one tap.
Repair History, parts and warranty attached to the item.
Resale & recommerce Put the authenticated item back on your second-hand channel. Ownership passes to the new buyer.
Collection and recycling When a product reaches end of life, take it back. Sorting, materials and recycling sit in the passport.

One order on one thread, from your supplier to your customer.

A single order passes through many systems before it reaches a customer. A purchase order here, a label there, a warehouse that does not know tomorrow's arrivals. The thread breaks, and no single system holds the full picture. Next Horizon keeps that thread intact, at the level of each item, the whole way through.

01

The order comes in

Your store, ERP or marketplace sends the order, with no re-keying.

02

Inbound visibility

Know the incoming stock a week ahead, so the warehouse plans space and people in time.

03

The right stock in the right place

Place every item where it sells, before it sells.

04

The last mile

Ship across Europe. Negotiated rates in France and the UK, tracked to the door, on one bill.

05

Returns and passport

Returns in good condition go back into sellable stock, and every product carries its Digital Product Passport.

Agents supervised by your team, each within clear limits.

Each agent acts inside the limits you set and asks for review before anything crosses your threshold. The Auditor, Watchtower and the AI Analyst work for you.

The Auditor

Reads every line of every carrier invoice, flags surcharges, billing errors and weight disputes, and prepares the claims. Your team approves each claim before it goes out.

Watchtower

Watches your network, catches delays and disruption before your customers do, and proposes a reroute for you to approve.

AI Analyst

Answers plain-language questions on your live data (cost, delays, carriers), with sources to back it up.

Questions we get asked.

What is Next Horizon?

Next Horizon is a European logistics system for brands that ship across Europe. It gives every item one identity at the source and reads the systems a brand already runs (store, carriers, ERP, WMS and OMS) through that identity. Multi-carrier shipping, consolidated tracking, returns and the EU Digital Product Passport sit on one subscription, starting at 149 EUR per month.

Does Next Horizon replace my existing systems?

No. Next Horizon replaces none of them. The store, the ERP, the warehouse system and the carrier accounts all stay in place. The difference is that they are read through one shared item identity, so they finally describe the same item in the same words.

Which countries does Next Horizon cover?

Negotiated last-mile rates are live in France and the United Kingdom, domestic and between the two. Everywhere else, customers connect their own carrier accounts and keep their own rates, with tracking, returns, invoice audit and the passport working identically.

How much does Next Horizon cost?

A Free plan covers 20 labels and 20 passports a month on your own carrier contracts. Starter is 149 EUR per month for 330 shipping labels and 350 product passports. Growth is 449 EUR for 1,300 labels and 1,400 passports. Scale is 949 EUR for 3,300 labels and 3,600 passports. Annual billing takes 15% off any plan. Enterprise is quoted on volumes and integrations. Shipping on our rates is rebilled at the carrier price with zero markup.

How is Next Horizon different from a multi-carrier shipping tool?

A shipping tool starts at the label and ends at delivery, so it follows a parcel. Next Horizon starts at the purchase order and follows the item, which survives consolidation, warehouse receipt, re-picking and return. Because the item is followed, the Digital Product Passport is a by-product of shipping, with no separate compliance project.

Is the Digital Product Passport included?

Yes, in every plan rather than as an add-on. Passports are minted at the source and each logistics event appends to them, so ESPR readiness comes from shipping as usual, with no project run alongside it.
