Rainmakers acquired Shipsi from Auctane to usher in a new era of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, ultra-fast delivery solutions for retailers of all sizes.
"Final-mile instant delivery is one of the most interesting and largely untapped areas in e-commerce and retail today. We've seen our partner retailers boost their sales by an average of 18%, a clear indicator that consumers are hungry for the kind of instant gratification that, until now, only a few retailers could provide. With Rainmakers' AI expertise, we're not just leveling the playing field; we're changing the game entirely,” says Rye Akervik, CEO of Shipsi.
Key takeaways:
- Shipsi’s technology gives retailers the power to offer same-day shipping by mobilizing last-mile networks to deliver goods. To date, Shipsi has given thousands of retailers the power to deliver in under two hours—prior to Shipsi, this has been a massive advantage for only a few select retail giants.
- Rainmakers plans to combine advanced artificial intelligence (AI) with innovative dark warehousing strategies, dramatically expand Shipsi's geographic reach and further reduce delivery times, even in areas outside major metropolitan centers.
- As part of the deal, Shipsi will remain integrated with Auctane products and services. This continued relationship ensures that Shipsi will have the scale and resources to rapidly deploy its enhanced AI-driven delivery solutions.
