Flexport: Larger digital forwarder with deeper capacity and broader lane coverage
Shippabo
Freight forwarder with its own import management platform, priced on container volume
As of 31 August 2026, Shippabo's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Shippabo is a digital freight forwarder that sells the software as an annual service agreement priced on container volume, not per user. Softwr lists it under Logistics. Shippabo is made by Galleon Technology, Inc. (Shippabo), available on Web.
Overview
What Shippabo does
Shippabo, operated by Galleon Technology, combines ocean and air freight forwarding, customs brokerage, drayage and trucking with a cloud platform for import management. The software covers purchase order tracking from the factory, container and shipment visibility, landed cost and document handling, with supplier and partner logins so a factory can update a PO directly rather than by email. It operates in both the United States and China. The commercial fact buyers should register is how it is sold. Shippabo describes its visibility product as an annual software service agreement priced on container volume and partners, so the fee scales with freight, not with headcount, and the software relationship is tied to the forwarding relationship. That is efficient while Shippabo is moving your boxes and awkward the moment you want to tender freight competitively, because the visibility layer you have trained your team on sits with one forwarder. Buyers are mid-sized importers, wholesalers and retailers bringing goods from Asia who want PO-level visibility without building it. The trade-off is coverage and independence: Shippabo is a small forwarder against Flexport, Expeditors and the global incumbents, so its network depth on unusual lanes and its ability to secure space in a tight market are weaker, and a forwarder-owned platform will never be a neutral multi-carrier control tower in the way an independent visibility vendor is.
What people use it for
- A mid-sized importer bringing containers from China that needs PO-level visibility without building it in-house
- A wholesaler that wants factories updating purchase order status directly instead of by email
- A retailer needing landed cost per shipment to price goods before they arrive
- An importer consolidating forwarding, customs brokerage and tracking with one provider

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Shippabo.
- The software is priced on container volume under an annual service agreement, so the fee moves with freight rather than usage and a soft import season still carries a committed cost.
- Platform and forwarding are bought together, which makes tendering freight to a cheaper carrier expensive because you risk losing the visibility layer your team uses.
- As a small forwarder it has less network depth and weaker space allocation than the global incumbents, which bites hardest in a tight ocean market when capacity is rationed to large accounts.
- Nothing is published about price, so importers cannot benchmark the software fee against independent visibility vendors without a sales process.
- Coverage is concentrated on the trans-Pacific import lane, so companies with significant intra-Europe, Latin American or export flows need a second provider anyway.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Is Shippabo still trading?
Yes. The platform and freight services are active, operated by Galleon Technology with United States and China operations.
Can I buy the software without using Shippabo as my forwarder?
The visibility product is sold as an annual agreement priced on container volume and partners, so it is structured around the freight relationship rather than as a standalone subscription.
How is it priced?
On container volume and partner count under an annual software service agreement. No figures are published.
Is it a neutral multi-carrier platform?
No. It is a forwarder's own platform, so it will not give you a genuinely carrier-agnostic view of freight you tender elsewhere.
