Our mission is to help online commercial businesses grow and reach their goals by providing our outsourced logistics service. Our information platform connects webshops, invoicing and delivery companies, and manages all order fulfillment activity of an online shop better than ever before.
The developers at Webshippy were dissatisfied with the state of fulfillment in Hungary, which is what spurred them to develop a service that they, as webshop owners, would expect to have. The company has increased the number of its employees in 2018 from 5 to 22. Its customer base skyrocketed from 15 to nearly 200 and they delivered 40 000 packages monthly in the end of the year period.
