Shipmates provides software designed for last-mile and middle-mile logistic players to manage their orders efficiently. They also assist online businesses in booking shipments in bulk with local and international couriers across the Philippines.
Problem
- Lack of affordable software: Local last-mile and middle-mile couriers often lack access to sophisticated and affordable software to manage orders.
- Outdated methods: Many are stuck using SMS or facing the high costs of custom SAP implementations to handle riders, deliveries, and warehousing.
- Fragmented market: With over 7,000 islands in the Philippines, each city has different local players, making coordination tough. Online merchants struggle to arrange bulk deliveries due to this market fragmentation.
Solution
- Order management: Shipmates equips local couriers and middle-mile players with software that streamlines order management, helping them coordinate packages between riders, deliveries, and warehouses.
- Cost-effective alternative: Unlike expensive enterprise solutions like SAP, Shipmates offers a more affordable option by charging a small usage fee for deliveries made through their software.
- API-based courier aggregation: Shipmates provides an API-based platform for online merchants to easily ship products using local and international couriers, simplifying the shipping process.
