Flexport Launches a Self-Service, AI-Driven Global Trade Solution for Finance, Freight, and Fulfillment Enabling the Benefits of Scale for Everyone

HO CHI MINH, Vietnam, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexport today launched a supply chain revolution for entrepreneurs, creating the first truly all-in-one, end-to-end global trade solution powering instant access to financing, freight, fulfillment, and replenishment to all major marketplaces and retail stores. Joining Flexport's supply chain revolution provides one-click access to 20+ supply chain services on a single page, enabling entrepreneurs to seamlessly sell in more places and automate the movement of their products from factory floor to customer door.

"Global trade is as old as time, but for entrepreneurs, it hasn't gotten any easier to move your goods from factory floor to customer door," said Ryan Petersen, Founder and CEO of Flexport. "I started my entrepreneurial journey selling scooters, so I know first-hand that entrepreneurs want to focus on innovating and selling their products everywhere their customers are, instead of getting bogged down by the complexity that often comes with logistics. That's why, today, I'm super proud that we've launched a new all-in-one, instant solution to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses."

Entrepreneurs can access Flexport's new all-in-one solution at no cost, and those who want even more can join Flexport+, a new membership program offering exclusive access to industry-leading supply chain financing, priority shipping services, and easy access to supply chain experts to provide heightened support for their business if and when they need it. With Flexport+, entrepreneurs get more capital at terms uniquely oriented to the needs of small businesses, as well as priority services and access to an exclusive community of like-minded business owners and industry experts. Flexport+ is available for a 90-day free trial and will be $149/month.

Powered by artificial intelligence, the new end-to-end supply chain solution offers replenishment injection directly into Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS), and 15+ wholesale channels, including Costco, Target, and Nordstrom. Additionally, merchants can leverage fulfillment and last-mile delivery services for Shopify and Amazon's Seller Fulfilled Prime program, as well as for their own e-commerce stores. Flexport also helps enable transparent and reliable delivery promises – including two-day and next-day delivery – on 20+ e-commerce marketplaces, including Shopify, Walmart, and eBay storefronts. This capability allows merchants to build trust with their customers and significantly boost sales. For example, Shopify merchants using Flexport's fast fulfillment capabilities saw up to a 25% sales increase.

The membership includes priority handling of shipments that cut shipping times by up to 15%, exclusive access to apply for up to 120-day term financing to enable "pay as you sell" capabilities, additional savings on inventory storage and preparation, special access to community events, and dedicated support teams throughout the entire supply chain journey.
