SEKO Logistics has entered a partnership with shipping software provider ShipStation to offer its e-commerce merchants the ability to grow in new cross-border markets.

According to SEKO, merchants can now connect to SEKO via ShipStation and see reduced transit time and lower cost to international markets, reduced cart abandonment rates internationally with lower shipping costs, an easy and monetized returns solution with international in-country return capabilities, unified tracking internationally regardless of final-mile postal carrier, and retailer/seller custom-branded tracking portals.

“We’re excited by the opportunity to partner with ShipStation and to be combining our respective strengths to open up new markets for dynamic and ambitious merchants, especially those exporting from our major markets in the United Kingdom, United States and Australia,” said Brian Bourke, VP of marketing at SEKO Logistics. “SEKO’s reputation for cross-border e-commerce solutions means we are also a first port of call for smaller shippers that want to expand globally. We will now be able to migrate those companies to ShipStation and they can just ‘flip a switch’ to use our cross-border e-commerce solutions because ShipStation is integrated with so many e-commerce platforms.”

ShipStation helps e-commerce retailers import, organize, process and ship their orders from any web browser. It features the most integrations of any web-based e-commerce solution, with over 150 shopping carts, marketplaces, package carriers and fulfilment services.

“We can see substantial growth opportunities to expand our partnership,” said Bourke. “ShipStation is already the largest e-commerce TMS provider in the US, but they also want to expand more in the UK and Australia, which we can support with our established operations in both countries. We will also have the ability soon to extend our White Glove services to ShipStation merchants selling heavier-weight products in the US. This is a dynamic partnership that will help ShipStation merchants expand their brands and sales across our international network.”

SEKO Logistics provides cross-border e-commerce shipping solutions through its Omni-Channel Logistics division. The company has over 120 offices in 40 countries around the world.
