SingPost Partners with Tech Startup Shippit to Accelerate Small Business Growth in Asia

The deal enables Shippit to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to scale by giving them instant access to more delivery options —including packages to be delivered directly to letterboxes and Pick Own Parcel Station (POPStations)—a service typically reserved for larger companies.

FREMONT, CA: Shippit, a fast-growing logistics technology company, announced a new partnership with Singapore Post(SingPost), Singapore’s leading homegrown e-Commerce courier. The deal enables Shippit to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to scale by giving them instant access to more delivery options —including packages to be delivered directly to letterboxes and Pick Own Parcel Station (POPStations)—a service typically reserved for larger companies. As part of the deal, Shippit will also provide SingPost’s Speedpost Express Service to SMEs, alongside discounted, pre-negotiated rates for next day and economy delivery services.

Now, SMEs on the Shippit platform would also offer end-customers parcel collection at any time by tapping into the island-wide POPStation network that SingPost currently operates. This brings more convenience to end customers, since parcels can be deposited directly at their nearest available POPStation for pickup, without the need to wait for delivery at home.

These SingPost services are integrated directly into Shippit’s existing online platform, which allows SMEs to access data-driven delivery insights that can be utilized to optimize shipping costs and share better customer experiences. SMEs also get access to pre-negotiated, delivery SingPost rates on the platform, allowing them to tap into SingPost’s large delivery network and fleet, at a lower cost.

Lavneesh Arora, Director of Market Development at Shippit, commented, “Shippit aims to disrupt the way legacy logistics firms operate. We are always looking for great partnerships to expand our capabilities and give clients a competitive edge. Through the latest partnership with Singapore’s largest and most prominent logistics company, SMEs can use Shippit to get direct access to SingPost’s premium, enterprise-grade delivery services at a fraction of the cost.”
