  Chief Executive Officer

  20+ years of e-commerce innovation lead to development of the simplest and most intuitive shipping software available to small and medium sized businesses. It has always been a passion of mine to think outside of the box and with the fact no other software satisfied our business requirements, it was time to write my own. Fast forward to four years later, we have completely re-engineered the code and made it even better. A complete mobile and desktop solution to compliment any standing warehouse management system.
