“Starshipit is a global solution for us. I can see all my orders, track any order. All my teams are all using the same platform. Training is easier, because it’s one platform we’re pushing out there. It’s a simple, cost-effective solution because it’s a global solution for us.”
“We would have really struggled to scale if it wasn’t for Starshipit. Before using their app, our tech platforms weren’t talking, and we would have had to login to multiple carrier accounts to get orders out the door. Now, all of that is handled automatically, meaning we save 1000s of hours and dollars in fulfilment time."
