Flexport acquired Shopify Logistics, including Deliverr, Inc., further strengthening its advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-driven optimization to streamline the full global supply chain.

"For Flexport, this acquisition enables our vision for a full digital transformation of the global supply chain that we will bring to all customers. This democratization and pooling of scale will level the playing field for cost and speed of delivery for all businesses, not just the largest corporations in the world," says Dave Clark, CEO of Flexport. "The end-to-end supply chain industry has not undergone the technological breakthroughs and data platforming we have seen in other sectors. Flexport is changing that. After the past several years of public discourse focusing on what's wrong with the supply chain, it's exciting to look ahead to how Flexport can bring solutions and make the global supply chain better for everyone."

From PR Newswire:

  • Flexport will also become the official Shopify Logistics Partner and provider of Shop Promise for Shopify merchants. Shop Promise enables transparent shipping timelines, including two-day and next-day delivery options to customers of Shopify merchants and will be extensible to all major commerce platforms.

"A key part of the success of Shopify Logistics to-date has been our mission-aligned and deeply knowledgeable partner, Flexport," says Tobi Lütke, founder and CEO of Shopify. "Today's announcement will enable Flexport and Shopify to carry the merchant-centered logistics vision forward, and give more businesses access to a fast, flexible and affordable logistics network that seamlessly integrates with the Shopify tools they know and love."

"Following in the spirit of our partners at Shopify, Flexport has built technology solutions on top of a global, diverse network of logistics partners to make the world simpler for merchants and enterprises selling across all their channels around the world. With this acquisition, we will deepen and expand these partnerships, providing all merchants and businesses more opportunities to grow and succeed because their success is our success," Clark adds.
