ShipBlu ne yapar

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.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Cairo is our home and where we understand the logistics market best. Building local infrastructure here gives us a competitive edge in MENA's unique delivery challenges.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, ShipBlu şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, ShipBlu'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. ShipBlu gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
