We’re really excited about our latest integration launch, with Shiptheory onboarding their first Descartes Peoplevox customers this summer.

Since they’re a new face in our ecosystem, in this article, we thought we’d get to know them a little better with a quick interview. Here’s Shiptheory’s Head of Partnerships, Rita Jenkins, and Marketing Manager, Alex Lervy, chatting with Descartes’ own, Leo Connolly.

Q: Tell Us About Shiptheory – Where Are You Based, What Do You Offer, Who Are Some of Your Big Name Clients?

A: Shiptheory is a cloud-based shipping management platform that connects online retailers to carriers, automatically booking shipments, printing labels, and returning tracking numbers within seconds.

Automation is king. We help thousands of merchants ship 5-10x faster and save up to seven hours on shipping per day. Shiptheory operates globally with two headquarters, one in Bristol, United Kingdom and Miami, United States.

We are a product-driven platform with a customer-centric focus. We enable businesses of all sizes to scale their shipping operations and automate boring and repetitive tasks so they can focus on growing their business.

Shiptheory is able to cater for a range of businesses, from marketplace sellers shipping around 50 shipments per month to enterprise operations shipping around 400k per month. The software is scalable and configurable to suit customer needs.

We often get asked ‘what verticals can you work with?’ The answer is ‘Any!’ From coffee companies to healthcare brands, clothing brands to DIY companies, we do it all.

One of the many household names we work with is ScrubDaddy. Starting off as a success on Shark Tank to now being the sole distributor for some of the largest supply companies in the world, we are so happy to be part of scaling Scrub Daddy’s Shipping Operations.

We have also helped one of the first pet food subscription businesses PetShop.co.uk automate their shipping process, saving them the equivalent of £10,000 per year.

Take a look at a bunch of Shiptheory Shipping Success Stories.

Q: What Are Some of the Key Selling Points of Shiptheory? Why Do Customers Love You?

A: Here at Shiptheory we genuinely love to get to know every single one of the merchants we work with.

Each business gets a dedicated onboarding specialist and an account manager throughout their journey with us, and our response times are unmatched within the industry, averaging under three minutes! The level of support we offer really does set us aside from other shipping solutions and our customer reviews reflect this.

Alongside this, we offer a range of direct integrations into over 90 global carriers and 60 ecommerce, marketplace, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and order management system (OMS) solutions. These integrations are closely managed by our in-house development team with a consistent launch of new integrations each month.

Shiptheory is configurable enough to set things up once and leave it running in the background. This mode is called the ‘set it and forget it mode’ which is extremely appealing to businesses who want to control things from another platform like Peoplevox and for labels to print out on demand.

On the flip side, Shiptheory does have a user interface that can be used to manage shipments manually, produce handwritten notes and important international data, offset carbon footprint and much more.

Q: Tell Us About the Integration with Peoplevox? Why Have You Built It? What Is the Opportunity?
