For finance teams
Move shipping from a cost center to a value center
A proven mix of services and software that reduces landed cost across the supply chain — and reports on it in a form your CFO can use.
- saved in ocean freight through Shippabo contracts during the 2020 rate surge
- $500K
- JR286
- typical reduction in total logistics cost
- 20%+

Cash & cost
Optimize cash and inventory with real numbers
Know where inventory sits in real time, at purchase-order and SKU level, and build forecasts on the position rather than last month's spreadsheet.
Monitor and reduce cost
Most freight overspend isn't the rate — it's demurrage, storage, and customs penalties that follow a delay nobody saw. Live exception handling removes the category.
- Demurrage and storage exposure flagged before it accrues
- Duty minimized with SKU-level classification data
High-resolution data, on a schedule
Visualize supply chain finances on a dashboard you configure, filter to the slice you need, and automate the reporting that currently eats the first week of every month.
- Cost per lane, per SKU, per period
- Exports and integrations into your finance stack
Duty drawback
SKU-level entry records make refund claims on re-exported goods a routine filing rather than a project.
Cargo insurance
Cover every shipment, whichever forwarder booked it — less financial risk showing up unannounced on the P&L.
Contract leverage
Historical pricing context tells you whether a quote is competitive before you commit the volume.
“Shippabo saved me $500K in ocean shipping through their contracts during the 2020 shipping market rate soar.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Shippabo?
Shippabo is a freight forwarder and a supply chain platform in one company. Founded by experienced shippers and supply chain experts, we provide tailored freight services alongside an intelligent platform that makes booking, clearing, and tracking shipments easier.
Is Shippabo easy to install?
There is nothing to install. Shippabo is cloud-based — sign up, open your browser, and your team can start using the platform right away.
Is Shippabo an NVOCC?
Yes. Shippabo is a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier offering ocean, air, drayage, and trucking, plus customs services, duty drawbacks, and related services through our partners.
Is there a platform fee?
Buying freight forwarding from Shippabo includes platform access for those shipments. Tracking shipments booked with other forwarders in the same system is offered as an annual software agreement based on container volume and partners.
Is my supply chain too complex?
We map the roles, processes, and intricacies of your supply chain during onboarding, then keep them in a collaborative platform your partners can work in.
How long does onboarding take?
Typically 2–10 business days depending on complexity. If needed we can onboard you in a single day — upload an MBL or container number and carrier, click Track, and details appear in moments.
Will Shippabo work with my forwarders and partners?
Yes. The platform is built for coordinating with your preferred customs brokers, trucking partners, and suppliers. Every stakeholder sees the same documents and data, including shipments booked elsewhere.
Will Shippabo work with my other software?
Shippabo integrates with other platforms so shipment data flows into the systems your teams already use.
