ShipBlu의 사업 내용

ShipBlu provides Amazon level logistics for eCommerce companies in MENA - one of the fastest growing eCommerce markets in the world. As it stands, the majority of delivery providers are still using pen and paper to manage delivery and fulfillment operations, leading to 5x the rate of failed deliveries and 3x the operating costs as compared to global benchmarks. At ShipBlu, we've built an infrastructure that handles every aspect of delivery and fulfillment operations. We've also added some unique features that tie in various business functions, allowing us to realize significant efficiencies compared to other players. Our platform is managed by ShipBlu AutoPilot - our collection of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms that constantly make operational predictions and decisions to reduce costs, meet delivery constraints, and refine our operating assumptions. Designed by ShipBlu's CTO, Abdelrahman is currently completing his PhD at Brown University where he explores the applications of AI and ML in optimization problems. We built a nationwide delivery network in Egypt in about 2.5 months, kicking off operations on Aug 1st, 2021. In under 4 weeks, we have signed on over 40 merchants, and when those merchants fully go live in October, we will be making over $40k in MRR.

Amazon Level Logistics for eCommerce in MENA

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

We built a platform that manages all delivery and fulfillment operations for eCommerce companies in MENA. It replaces pen-and-paper processes and uses our AI system, ShipBlu AutoPilot, to make operational decisions that reduce costs and failed deliveries.

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

We live in Cairo, Egypt, and plan to base the company here after YC.

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 ShipBlu의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. ShipBlu과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
