New Delhi, Apr 10 (KNN) Pitney Bowes Inc, a global technology company that provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping, mailing, finance, and data, and Shyplite, a logistics technology company that provides a multi-carrier integrated SaaS platform have entered into a strategic partnership to launch a multicarrier shipping platform for small businesses in India.

This partnership will simplify office shipping and provide cost savings for small and medium sized businesses in India by optimizing parcel delivery.

This new shipping solution will reduce shipping costs for both retailers and office shippers and speeds accurate delivery to Indian customers and online shoppers. Customers will be able to select the most efficient shipping option at the best price creating an improved customer experience with each parcel delivery.

By removing the complexity of everyday shipping, small businesses and e-commerce retailers can focus on delighting customers and growing their business.

This alliance is a step forward in making shipping affordable, simple and reliable for smaller businesses in India that previously did not have access to the improved customer experience and cost savings of a shipping platform like we have developed, said Sugam Jain, CEO and Co-Founder, Shyplite.

According to the Pitney Bowes Shipping Index, India shipped 1 parcel per person in 2017. The overall parcel volume grew 15 percent year over year, reaching a total of 1.5 billion parcels shipped compared to 1.3 billion parcels in 2016.
