E-commerce facilitator ShipStation eyes major global expansion

ShipStation, the largest provider of multi-carrier parcel shipping software for online merchants in North America, is planning to expand its international footprint through acquisitions and other means while also broadening freight transportation modes available on its platform, CEO Tom Madine said on the FreightWaves Today show . The automated shipping platform this week began facilitating less-than-truckload freight shipping in the same workflow customers use for parcel shipping and other logistics operations, a capability made possible by private equity owner Thoma Bravo’s summer acquisition of Worldwide Express Group and its portfolio of freight brokerage companies. Beyond more modal integration, ShipStation is eager to expand its logistics management technology offerings in Europe and other key markets, Madine said Sept. 1 during a live interview conducted at the company’s Austin, Texas headquarters. ShipStation currently operates in Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Australia.
