Who are we?
Shipup is an early growth startup currently with 50 employees, predominately based in our Paris HQ, and we are expanding our US team rapidly. Shipup is looking for truly passionate people to help build something great.
At Shipup, our mission is to create a seamless, proactive, and branded post-purchase experience for online retailers.
If you have ever bought online, you know that waiting for your delivery to arrive can be extremely frustrating. There is little to no communication on where your package is and if it is delayed the customer is given no information that the issue will be resolved. Think of the last time you had a bad delivery experience when ordering from a company, how likely are you to buy from them again?
For online retailers, a poor post-purchase experience is a costly nightmare: it drags down customer satisfaction, online reputation, and repeats purchases while increasing the volume of complaints for customer support.
Shipup is a SaaS company that tracks in real-time, the orders and deliveries of online retailers in order
to create a seamless, branded, and reassuring post-purchase experience (proactive and live notifications, customized tracking pages, customer surveys at delivery…). Thanks to Shipup, ordering online is less stressful. Online shoppers are more satisfied and go from one-time buyers to lifelong customers.
Shipup was created in late 2016 by 3 Cofounders who used to work for Rocket Internet, Casper, and Dashlane.
Shipup works with more than 600 brands in Europe and North America, some of which are very successful
DTC and digital-native brands (Purple Carrot, Nation Photo Labs, SSENSE, Peak Design, Na-Kd …) while others are large Enterprise accounts (Carrefour, Yves Rocher, Morrocan Oil…).
We are
now a team of 50 people and growing fast! Our ambition is to become the leader in the eCommerce post-purchase experience.
Our values
