What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that automates shipping for e-commerce and retail in Mexico. Our product lets businesses select carriers, buy and print shipping labels, track packages, estimate delivery times, and handle returns through our AI Dispatch system. It eliminates manual logistics headaches and helps companies control the entire delivery experience.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We picked Monterrey because it's where we are from and where we know the logistics market challenges firsthand. Local expertise matters since we focus on Mexican e-commerce and retail shipping problems.
