ShipShape Software has introduced specialised system modules for the express parcel industry, designed to streamline workflows and enhance visibility across high shipment volumes.

According to JL Koekemoer, the company’s general manager and systems architect, users can pinpoint outstanding tasks and identify next steps for each parcel in real time, enabling more efficient and precise operations using these models.

“E-commerce has truly turned this industry on its head. While the concept itself isn’t entirely new, what has been disruptive for many operators – along with key stakeholders such as customs authorities and government agencies – is the sheer scale at which volumes in this sector have surged over the past 12 months, and continue to grow at an unrelenting pace,” he told Freight News.

With this in mind, it has become crucial for companies like ShipShape to provide solutions that help logistics providers navigate this fast-paced environment with enhanced control and agility.

"As with many industries, technology is playing an increasingly pivotal role in supporting every aspect of the supply chain. From origin to final delivery, software platforms are now essential for automating processes, providing real-time visibility, monitoring exceptions, and ensuring compliance – on a scale that was unimaginable just a few years ago."
