Flexport, a global leader in supply chain technology, has announced the launch of the Flexport app on Shopify – a one-stop, integrated solution designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to meet their global trade needs. The flagship app is the first milestone in Flexport’s strategic partnership with Shopify to empower SMBs with the technology and tools they need to grow their businesses globally.
Through the Flexport App, millions of merchants can now quote, book, track and ship products to the US, with additional port coverage coming this year. Merchants can seamlessly integrate their product library from their Shopify store, gain SKU-level visibility to inventory in transit and choose the right ocean freight shipping solution for their business – including Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) and Full-Container-Load (FCL) services – along with customs clearance and enhanced cargo protection. Merchants will also have access to real-time cost estimates and the ability to leverage enterprise-grade reporting and analytics to remove common barriers to freight forwarding.
“Shopify and Flexport share a joint vision of breaking down global supply chain barriers for businesses of all sizes. The Flexport app’s integration with Shopify and the Shopify Fulfillment Network app enables any merchant to connect their supply chain to Shop Promise, without requiring any supply chain expertise,” said Aaron Brown, CEO of Shopify Logistics.
Combining Shopify’s merchant platform with Flexport’s logistics expertise and technology simplifies end-to-end supply chain management. Shopify became a strategic investor through Flexport’s Series E funding round in 2022.
