William On and Rob Hango-Zada from Shippit: Building a Last-Mile Delivery Powerhouse | #406

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by William On and Rob Hango-Zada, Co founders and Co CEO’s of Shippit, a multi carrier shipping software specifically for Ecommerce.  After seeing eye to eye at uni (quite literally) and watching their Attlassian mates do well, the friends decided to get in on the action and launch their own logistics solution. Now, millions of packages are sent with the help of Shippit every month, and the company has expanded beyond Australia and New Zealand to Singapore and Malaysia with revenue of more than $66 million.  In this chat, Will and Rob share how they use data to optimise delivery performance, the pros and cons of brands owning their own fleets and a surprising shipping paradox which has led to the pioneering codeshare solution they have in development.Links from the episode:ShippitDeliver in PersonShopify Plus (sponsored)Questions answered:Tell me about the moment you decided to pivot the business from being a 3-hour delivery provider to a multi-carrier logistics platform?How long does it take for retailers to connect to Shippit and start offering new fulfilment partners?What do you think is coming in fulfilment that retailers need to plan for?About your co-hosts: William On from ShippitWill On is the Co-Founder and CEO of Shippit, APAC’s fast-growing shipping technology company founded in Australia.
