Why ShipyBox
Logistics-first, not pricing-first
Pricing matters, but in Indian COD ecommerce 20–40% RTO can wipe out any saving on freight. ShipyBox optimises the metrics that actually move your P&L — RTO incidence, weight disputes, NDR conversion and COD remittance speed.
Owned by a 23-office logistics network
ShipyBox is operated by Reliable International. Your shipments are handled by partners with an on-ground presence — not just by software.
AI you can defend in a P&L review
Every AI decision shows its reasoning. Your founder, your CFO and your ops manager all see the same explanation. No black boxes.
