Flexport presents an innovative, AI-based end-to-end solution for global trade. This solution offers completely new possibilities, especially for small businesses and entrepreneurs. The user-friendly platform provides one-click access to a wide range of supply chain services, including finance, ocean freight, air freight, fulfilment and sourcing.
Flexport's innovative technology gives retailers access to more than 20 integrated supply chain services. This makes sales easier and brings products seamlessly from a manufacturer to consumers. Its aim is to 'democratise' the global supply chain. This allows companies to increase sales, reduce costs and focus on their core business - their customers. The new Flexport solution is available worldwide. Even retailers outside the US can use it to operate in the US market, as long as they have a physical presence in the US.
"Global trade is as old as the road to Rome, but delivering goods from the factory floor to the customer's door is always a complex task for companies," says Ryan Petersen, founder and CEO of Flexport. "In particular, entrepreneurs much prefer to focus on developing and trading their products rather than on complicated logistics processes. With the launch of our new all-in-one solution, we offer entrepreneurs a helping hand in this challenging task."
Free
Companies can use Flexport's all-in-one solution for free. For those who want to take their business to the next level, Flexport+ is available. This exclusive membership programme offers premium shipping services, supply chain financing solutions and advice from proven industry experts. Flexport+ is free to try for 90 days and then costs $149 per month.
Retailers can use Flexport's new solution to offer their stock directly through Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) and more than 15 other wholesaler channels, including Costco, Target and Nordstrom. The company also offers customised fulfilment and door-to-door delivery services, both for platforms such as Shopify and Amazon's Seller Fulfilled Prime, and for its own e-commerce shops. These smart integrations create a centralised warehouse inventory, allowing Flexport customers to sell anywhere without the hassle of dealing with different suppliers. In addition, Flexport guarantees transparent and reliable delivery promises throughout the process - including express deliveries within two days or even overnight deliveries - and on more than 20 e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, Walmart and eBay.
"Developing a product from concept to final delivery is often a difficult and time-consuming process. Here, it does not matter whether you are just starting out in the mail-order world or have already built a thriving business. The focus of many entrepreneurs is on growth and not on logistical challenges. Until now, no service provider has offered a fully automated logistics solution. We wanted to change that," stresses Parisa Sadrzadeh, Executive Vice President SMB at Flexport. "With our new total package and Flexport+ membership, we make logistics so simple that entrepreneurs save time and energy by working with us and thus fully realise their growth potential."
