ShipRocket assures a better shipping experience with a faster delivery time. As quick delivery of orders becomes a necessity, ShipRocket motivates entrepreneurs to up their game and catch up with the market trend with its ‘Logistics Recommendation Engine. Merchants can optimize the speed of delivery; the cost of overall shipping and choose from multiple courier partners to the best of their benefits per pin codes and locations.
Elaborating on the story behind ShipRocket, Saahil Goel, CEO and Co-Founder of BigFoot Retail Solutions Pvt. Ltd, (an ecommerce enablement company that owns Kraftly, Kartrocket and Shiprocket products) said, “Led by technological advancements in the country, more and more people are moving towards convenience and demand faster delivery time. While ShipRocket was rolled out to provide KartRocket merchants with shipping and logistics services, we soon realized the intensity of logistics issues for every seller. That’s when we launched ShipRocket in a new avatar and started taking on clients such as market places and shops independently. Ever since the launch of the new version in November 2016, we have noticed an improvement in the delivery time by 20% in its 2 months of existence. With ShipRocket, we aim at enabling shipping through any mode, from any shop, on any platform, be it national or global.”
Furthermore, the new version of ShipRocket is an all-inclusive solution for its target market such as homepreneurs, SMEs, marketplace sellers, social sellers and so on. Corresponding to the popularity of COD that still drives 60-70% of online orders, ShipRocket provides end-to-end fulfillment for COD orders and enables merchants to reconcile their COD payments automatically on its panel. With ShipRocket there is no need for merchants to go through the hassle of having multiple contracts with different courier companies and can now track all their orders/shipments across different courier companies on a single interface.
“After looking into data of millions of shipments fulfilled in the last couple of years, we have been able to now rate all logistic providers on our platform for shipments between a pair of pin codes. This rating gets updated in real-time, based on an extensive machine learning algorithm which is built into the product. The product now rates courier partners on our platform on various factors, ranging from – pickup performance, delivery performance, RTO percentage, COD remittance and much more. This makes shipping an easier process, which won’t burn holes into the sellers’ pockets” added Saahil Goel, CEO & Co-Founder, ShipRocket
