Software developer Shipsy plans to expand its presence in Europe
Shipsy, a global leader in logistics operations management, has announced the opening of a new centre in the Netherlands. The decision comes as the company plans to expand its presence in the global market.
The company provides SaaS software services to logistics operators. Shipsy works closely with major industry players in Europe and other regions. However, the company has recently decided to focus on the European market for several reasons:
- the local sector is currently undergoing a significant transformation, with many logistics processes being reviewed and improved;
- the e-commerce market is growing rapidly, with new strong players emerging and consumer demand increasing.
- European legislation is changing, requiring the development of new operating principles.
The European Union is striving to meet environmental targets and move towards a sustainable economy, which will have an impact on the logistics sector. Analysing the current trends, Shipsy’s management has decided to extend the possibilities of cooperation with its European partners.
Shipsy’s new strategy
The Innovation Centre in the Netherlands focuses on developing and supporting a new platform based on artificial intelligence technologies. With this product, Shipsy partners will be able to:
- increase the level of service, extend the list of services;
- optimise costs;
- automate a number of operations, thereby increasing efficiency.
Also, the company focuses its services on current market challenges, including reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Shipsy offers state-of-the-art technical solutions for operators to strengthen their position and respond more flexibly to changing market conditions.
The company is active in 7 countries. Every month, its logistics software solutions help manage the movement of more than 650,000 containers and 150 million parcels.
Shipsy also offers partners the opportunity to work together to achieve climate goals. The company has already helped customers reduce carbon emissions by more than 800,000 tonnes and cut total mileage by 1 billion miles.
Shipsy’s expansion plans
In addition to strengthening its position in Europe, the company plans to expand in Africa by transforming its logistics operations. The aim is to attract more local customers, including last-mile and express delivery services.
E-commerce is the main driver for the development of the African logistics market. Shipsy has all the necessary solutions to help local operators meet the growing demand for these services. The company is currently studying the challenges and requirements of the market to offer favourable terms of cooperation to logistics operators. Shipsy’s primary focus is on reducing costs and speeding up delivery times.
