Another novelty that Amazon has presented at its event Accelerate is Veeqo. This multi-channel shipping software built to simplify fast-growing e-commerce was acquired by Amazon earlier this year. Now want that sellers can use it for reduce shipping costs while increasing the speed of fulfillment of customer orders.
Sellers using Veeqo can connect their sales channels, including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Shopify, and access discounted rates at UPS, US Postal Service, DHL and FedEx. Veeqo’s rate comparison feature imports seller orders and automatically finds the lowest available shipping rate based on size and weight.
Veeqo CEO Matt Warren, founded the company in 2013, when he was an online seller who needed software that would make it cheaper and easier to send orders from multiple sales channels.
“As a seller, I found shipping orders and managing inventory across channels time-consuming and error-prone“, said Warren. “Available shipping management software was complicated, lacked the right features, or designed for an enterprise-sized retailer. I created a system built with the needs of all multi-channel marketers in mind. Sellers should be able to track, quote, sell and ship orders across multiple channels with just a few clicks, and with Veeqo they can.”.
I used to have a average price of $450 per month, while now Veeqo will be free for all sellers. Sellers who ship through Veeqo pay only for labels from their chosen carrier, with no monthly fees.
