What is Shiply and how can it help my company?

Shiply is the UK's online shipping & transportation marketplace where users can list items they want to ship/transport, and receive competitive bids from service providers like you wishing to secure shipments.

Shiply provides independent transportation companies with revenue opportunities that are no longer limited to your location, area of specialisation, size of your sales force or marketing capabilities. Enabling you to become more efficient and profitable.

In an industry facing many threats including the most expensive fuel prices in Europe, increasing congestion and low emissions zones it is unsurprising that over 13.6% of small independent transportation companies with turnovers less than £100,000 have ceased trading in the last three years¹. Shiply helps level the playing field.

You are notified when there are shipments that match your company profile and the tools are in place to assist you in placing your bid. Registering is simple and free, so start searching through shipments, winning jobs, and building your feedback score today.

What's more, because we're so confident in Shiply and want you to get a feel of the possibilities for your business, your first accepted bid is fee free!

Shiply is independent and has no affiliation with any user or service provider. We are fully committed to providing a secure, objective and trustworthy marketplace.
