Our take
The existing infrastructure of the U.S. shipping industry is becoming antiquated, with the complexity of shipping logistics being siloed and requiring manual organization. Shippers must directly communicate with freight companies to organize their shipping logistics, in addition to organizing and paying drivers and managing vehicle fleets en-masse.
Shipwell provides an online marketplace and toolkit to help companies manage the booking, organization, and analysis of their shipping systems through an all-in-one service. The aim of the company is to improve the customer's ability to upscale their business and shipping fleets through automation and data insights.
Shipping management software is on the rise, so Shipwell finds itself within a competitive market. However, the company had a very successful 2024, having been recognized as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Transportation Management Systems (TMS), as well as experiencing exceptional growth. Going forward, the company remains focused on delivering even greater value for its customers, and with 16 consecutive quarters of growth since its launch, it's sure to continue impressing.
