About Shipium

Shipium is on a mission to solve the ‘Prime problem’ that modern retailers face today—how to make fast, free, and on-time delivery promises a cornerstone of the customer’s shopping experience. We work with both fast-growing companies and well known large retailers to cut costs, speed deliveries, and increase flexibility through great APIs, easy integrations into existing infrastructure, and powerful services optimizing the full retail supply chain.

We’re building tech that connects previously fragmented systems and automates complex supply chain decisions to deliver speed and value across operations.
