About Easyship

Easyship positions itself as a comprehensive shipping and logistics platform tailored for the e-commerce sector, established to streamline the complexities of global fulfillment for online merchants. The company was co-founded in 2015 by Tommaso Tamburnotti and Augustin Ceyrac. Tamburnotti, with a background in banking and experience launching the Asian marketplace Lazaa, and Ceyrac, a supply chain and logistics specialist, identified a significant gap in the market for accessible and efficient cross-border shipping solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The business operates as an all-in-one shipping software that integrates directly with major e-commerce platforms and marketplaces such as Shopify, Amazon, and eBay. This integration allows online sellers to manage their entire fulfillment process from a single dashboard. Easyship's core offering is its network of over 250 courier services, providing businesses with pre-negotiated, discounted shipping rates. Clients can compare shipping quotes in real-time and select the most suitable option based on cost, delivery time, and courier ratings.

The platform's revenue model is primarily based on a subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, offering various tiers of service, including a free plan for startups and more advanced, paid plans for larger businesses that require more features. Additionally, the company generates revenue through its shipping volume, leveraging its aggregated demand to secure favorable rates from carriers.

Easyship's service is designed to handle the entire post-purchase experience. Its software automates the generation of shipping labels, customs documentation, and tracking updates. A notable feature is the platform's ability to provide tax and duty visibility, allowing merchants to offer their customers a clear, landed cost at checkout, thereby reducing cart abandonment and improving the customer experience. The platform serves a global clientele, ranging from individual crowdfunders to high-volume e-commerce businesses, enabling them to expand their international market reach without the logistical hurdles typically associated with worldwide shipping.
