The Shipping Counter That Fits in a Brazilian Seller’s Pocket
SuperFrete bundles small merchants into a bigger logistics customer - turning rate comparison, labels and tracking into a few taps instead of a stack of carrier contracts.
The Dashboard Between the Parcel and the Door
Bigship does not promise to reinvent the cardboard box. It is building the control layer around it - one dashboard that helps Indian sellers choose a carrier, print the label, chase a failed delivery and keep the buyer informed.
The Shipping Company That Doesn't Own the Trucks
eShipper built its business in the space between a merchant's checkout button and the customer's front door. Its wager is simple: small and midsize sellers can borrow the buying power, software and supply-chain discipline of a much larger company.
EasyPost
EasyPost is a Utah-based logistics technology company that built the first RESTful shipping API, giving developers a single integration point to rate-shop, buy and print labels, verify addresses, track packages and insure shipments across 100+ carriers worldwide. Founded in 2012 by Jarrett Streebin, it removes the technical complexity of shipping so e-commerce brands, marketplaces and fulfillment providers can ship like Amazon without rebuilding carrier plumbing from scratch.
