Shipster has taken its first step into the Dubai logistics market, with 4 new couriers in the United Arab Emirates and a new tech-led fulfilment centre in Dubai.
The online shipping platform has been developed by Manchester-based Oddsphere and now connects more than 100 ecommerce warehouses with 50+ couriers.
The software creates custom shipping rules for documentation, service types, parcel building, partial despatch, order value and destination to speed up the process.
“We’re really excited to be getting in to the Middle East market,” said Tony Cheetham, Founder & MD, Oddsphere / Shipster.
“Shipster is well equipped to work with fast growing markets, and the UAE is rapidly expanding. Adding new couriers to our ever growing list of supported platforms is also a major bonus for us”
Shipster’s new courier integrations include global logistics company, Aramex, DHL Express V10, Quiqup, and AGL and it says more are in the pipeline. It has also partnered with Dubai-based PackRovers.
“It was a pleasure working with PackRovers on this project, leveraging Shipster’s flexibility to meet with their detailed requirements covering automated selection of couriers and services for different regions, COD services, varying Incoterms, currencies and customs documents. Exciting times, to be reaching into the UAE market!,” added Damian Donnelly, Client Services Director, Oddsphere / Shipster.
