A bit about Shippit

Shippit is a powerful technology engine for ecommerce that is creating the network that connects people to goods in the leanest way.

From humble beginnings in 2014 working with a handful of fashion and homeware boutiques in Sydney’s Surry Hills, Shippit now powers delivery for thousands of retailers of all sizes across Australia and New Zealand sending millions of deliveries every single month. And since July 2020, our software has also been powering ecommerce fulfilment in Singapore and Malaysia.

In 2020 there was a marked and permanent shift in consumer behaviour as a result of COVID-19 lockdowns, with ecommerce doubling in Australia. Shippit has grown rapidly as a result and, following its $30m Series B funding round led by Tiger Global, is now processing millions of orders every week.
