About Shiprocket
ShipRocket is one of India’s leading E-commerce logistics and shipping solutions providers. The ShipRocket platform is a highly sophisticated courier aggregator that offers individual and enterprise customers an option to choose from more than 17 courier companies. It specialises in providing bespoke and cost-effective courier solutions to a broad array of businesses that rely on direct-to-customer (D2C) shipments in a time-bound window. It was founded on India’s Republic Day, January 26, in 2017. The company is headquartered in New Delhi and provides shipping solutions to more than 220 countries globally. However, it has placed special emphasis on the APAC region. Its global aspirations have received a fillip thanks to a series of fundings in early-2021 and in late-2020 from leading investment firms including March Capital and Bertelsmann India.
Leveraging its grip over advanced logistics technology and using the corpus it has managed to garner, ShipRocket is planning to expand its operations and provide deliveries to more countries. The start-up aims to divert a significant portion of the funds generated via investments to increase warehouse capacity and scale up its engineering operations. Currently, Shiprocket handles over 2 Lakh shipments each day and covers more than 27,000 Pin Codes across India. More than a Lakh sellers are satisfied with their service. This gives it unfettered access to some of the most under-served regions as well. Shiprocket offers extremely competitive pricing for its courier deliveries both across the vast Indian market and for its overseas destinations.
The company provides both carrier and channel integrations. Once a client has integrated Shiprocket’s API, they can access the company’s tracking system which provides real-time data on a unified dashboard. Shiprocket has made it remarkably easy for new businesses and individual customers to use its platform. Step 1 of the process begins with choosing the shipment that needs to be delivered. To this end, the automated channel sync the Shiprocket platform offers is of great benefit as it helps import orders easily. Once a shipment has been chosen, a client can then select a courier partner which offers the best value for money among other requirements.
This is step 2. In Step 3, the shipment has to be packed and readied for dispatch once the service provider has been chosen. To simplify and streamline the process at this stage, the courier aggregator has recently launched ‘Shiprocket Packaging’. It is a nifty new idea which promises to make E-commerce packaging easier and more budget-friendly. These packaging solutions may disrupt several sections of the courier delivery supply chain as more companies will look to join the bandwagon. Shipping a parcel completes this step. Finally, step 4 allows customers to keep a keen watch on the journey of their couriers.
