Shypple

Shypple is a Rotterdam-based digital freight forwarding platform that aims to streamline the global trade process through its user-friendly online platform. Launched in 2017, the company provides a central dashboard for businesses to book freight shipping, compare sailing times and prices, track shipments in real-time, and facilitate communication among various stakeholders involved in the supply chain.

Shypple's platform integrates with customers' existing systems, offering real-time visibility into shipment status, costs, delays, and adjustments. It leverages technologies like artificial intelligence and optical character recognition to automate processes and minimize manual data entry. The platform enables businesses to book shipments, communicate seamlessly, and anticipate potential disruptions through features like weather forecasts integration.

In August 2021, Shypple raised EUR 25.5 million in Series A and A2 funding rounds, acquiring air and ocean freight forwarder Milestone in the process. This acquisition expanded Shypple's reach into the perishables market, making it the first digital freight forwarder for air freight and perishables. Through Milestone, Shypple gained a stronger foothold in Asia, with seven offices in China, as well as increased presence in Europe and Central America.

In April 2022, Shypple launched the world's first digital freight forwarding platform tailored specifically for perishables, addressing the unique needs of shippers in this industry through features like near real-time terminal data integration.
