Working at
Sendify

Built for small businesses looking to save time and money, Sendify is a web-based shipping service that empowers anyone to optimize their supply chain and ship smarter. Most small business owners would rather focus on their business than have to worry about shipping and logistics. Sadly, getting stuff from A to B is still one of their biggest expenses and sources of frustration. One explanation is that the shipping industry has prioritized high volume shippers, leaving small businesses with both complicated systems and unfair rates. We founded Sendify to level the playing field and empower ambitious businesses to ship smarter. With our digital platform, shippers of any size can access pre-negotiated solutions with world leading carriers, taking their supply chains into the future whilst saving an average of 20% on every shipment. Parcel or pallet, across the globe or around the corner, Sendify has you covered. Since our start in 2016, we’ve helped more than 15,000 small businesses around the world spend less time and money on shipping and more time on growing their business. This makes us known as *the* shipping and logistics solution for growing businesses in Sweden and Germany.
