Shipmates

Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines

Overview

Shipmates consolidates multiple courier services into a single platform that allows online sellers to compare rates, book standard or on-demand pickups, and automates waybills and address validation. The platform is integrated with nine courier companies and the founders say it is the only aggregator in the Philippines offering both on-demand and standard couriers. Shipmates targets small- to mid-sized online sellers with typical basket sizes of $20–$50 and reduces a day‑long shipping process to under 10 minutes. The startup monetizes by charging $0.30 per order booked through the platform. Shipmates launched its platform last December and reports revenue growing 30% month-over-month since then. Founded in July 2021 by CEO Josh Supan and CTO David Marquez, the team previously ran an e-commerce enabler and pivoted to solve merchants’ shipping problems.
