Shippit, the Australian logistics technology platform, has announced a pivotal new integration with Australia Post, through which retailers using Shippit can seamlessly connect with MyPost Business to automate tasks and reduce manual fulfilment by as much as 30%.
Through the integration, retailers can save time fulfilling orders, share better customer experiences and scale their shipping operations with their business growth. Easily connected with major eCommerce platforms, the integration gives retailers a better and faster way to automate manual tasks such as managing orders, printing shipping labels and booking out-of-home delivery services, like pick-ups or drop-off collection points.
The integration - available from November - will streamline the operations of all retailers, including Enterprise, but has a specific focus on SMBs and smaller, low-complexity businesses.
Shippit is an eCommerce logistics software company founded in Australia in 2014. Its powerful shipping engine saves retailers time, and money and provides better experiences for delivery recipients.
By simplifying omnichannel fulfilment, enabling retailers to accept cash on delivery and removing friction from the cross-border shipping process, Shippit simplifies shipping for retailers so they can focus on growing their business.
Commenting on the announcement, Rob Hango-Zada, Co-founder and Co-CEO, Shippit, says, "Adding another layer to our already strong partnership with Australia Post is hugely exciting. It represents the latest move in our commitment to continue evolving and producing new products that will revolutionise the logistics industry and create a better delivery experience for our customers."
“Running a retail business isn’t easy, but every task and process that can be automated enables businesses to save time and spend it on more valuable tasks. This is particularly the case for smaller, less complex retail businesses. Time is money for them, and through this integration, we’re allowing businesses to run smarter, more cost- and time-effective operations.”
With no eligibility criteria and up to five bands of savings on eligible products and services, Australia Post's MyPost Business account is an ideal parcel-sending option for smaller-volume senders shipping domestically and internationally.
With Shippit's automated packaging decisions and smart carrier allocation technology, retailers can access everything they need for consistent, error-free shipping and more time to focus on what matters.
Through Shippit's agnostic carrier network, retailers can also drive loyalty by offering customers multiple delivery options and consistent and predictable tracking experiences. And whether retailers keep shipping with MyPost Business or switch to eParcel Contracts, Shippit's industry-leading technology provides access to the carriers, insights and tools they need to scale their shipping.
Shippit powered over 40 million deliveries in 2021 - a 300% increase on pre-pandemic levels - for customers including Target, Myer, Cotton On and BIG W. Since its launch in 2014, AU$5.5 billion worth of eCommerce orders have been fulfilled through Shippit, with 40% of all Australians receiving a delivery powered by Shippit.
