Our take
ShipMonk was created when its founder realized how US merchants would often refuse to ship to certain locations internationally. The company has grown to allow small to medium size e-commerce brands to scale through its 4-in-1 cloud based software, which integrates with a company's inventory management, orders, warehousing and shipping systems.
To supplement its SaaS and offer real logistical value, ShipMonk operates a growing number of strategically located warehouses throughout the US, Canada, Mexico and the UK. This means that even the smallest eCommerce brands are able to deliver goods within just two days, while reducing shipping costs compared to traditional delivery channels.
Since launching in 2014, ShipMonk’s trajectory has been remarkable for a company that was largely bootstrapped without major funding. However, 2020 saw a boom in demand for its services, and since then ShipMonk has scaled up enormously, receiving huge financial investment and acquiring complementary businesses along the way. Having now established fulfilment centres in Birmingham (UK) and Texas, ShipMonk is eyeing up strategic acquisitions and additional expansion within the US and Europe.
