Shippr connects businesses across various sectors with a network of professional couriers and transport companies, offering customized delivery solutions. The platform caters to industries such as food wholesale, pharmaceuticals, retail, and events. Its services range from cargo bikes for smaller items to refrigerated trucks for temperature-sensitive goods. The company's technology is designed to optimize delivery routes, which can reduce the ecological footprint by avoiding empty volumes and decreasing mileage. Key features for clients include real-time delivery tracking, proof of delivery, and 24/7 operational support. For transport professionals, the platform offers an application with features like personalized guidance and automatic invoicing.

The company's business model is centered on acting as a logistics aggregator, providing a single platform for businesses to manage deliveries. It works exclusively with professional transport providers, including self-employed couriers and established transport companies, who undergo a legal document check during registration. Shippr has shown significant growth, reporting a 300% increase in 2020. In 2021, the company raised €2 million in a seed round, followed by a €10 million fundraising round in 2022. This funding has supported its expansion into France in 2019 and the United Kingdom in 2023. The company has stated its commitment to sustainability, with goals to become B Corp certified and operate as a carbon-neutral company.
