Digital freight forwarding platform for supply chain management MoreLess
Shypple is a digital freight forwarding company that provides a centralized platform for managing supply chains. The company was founded in 2016 by Jarell Habets and is headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Habets, who had experience in finance and an internship at a freight forwarder, identified a gap in the market for a more modernized and digital approach to the traditionally fragmented and paperwork-heavy freight industry.
The Shypple platform is designed to offer end-to-end transparency and control over the supply chain for importers and exporters. It allows businesses to search for and compare shipping rates, book freight services, manage documentation, and track shipments in real-time. The platform aims to increase efficiency by centralizing communication and data, which can reduce the time spent on tracking shipments and managing paperwork. Key features include real-time tracking of vessels and containers, automated notifications for delays, a centralized document hub, and tools for analyzing shipment data and performance. The company serves over 3,000 businesses.
Shypple's business model is based on providing freight forwarding services through its digital platform, covering ocean, air, and rail freight. It generates revenue by simplifying the shipping process for its clients, offering competitive rates negotiated with carriers, and providing a suite of tools to optimize logistics operations. The platform connects all supply chain partners, including carriers and terminals, to provide a single source of information. In 2021, Shypple acquired Milestone, a Dutch company specializing in logistics for perishable goods, to enhance its capabilities in air freight and temperature-controlled transport. This acquisition positioned Shypple as a digital forwarder for perishables, expanding its network into Asia and Central America. The company has raised a total of $32.2 million in funding over four rounds.
