  • Shipway Cargo Launched as SaaS Logistics Platform for Quick Commerce and B2B Shipments

    Shipway Cargo

    New Delhi: Shipway, Unicommerce’s logistics technology platform, has announced the launch of Shipway Cargo, a dedicated logistics SaaS solution designed to support quick commerce, high-frequency B2B shipments, and heavy and bulky B2B logistics operations.

    The launch of Shipway Cargo marks Shipway’s strategic expansion beyond parcel logistics into the rapidly growing B2B logistics segment.

    Shipway Cargo has been developed to address operational challenges faced by brands and sellers involved in dark-store replenishments, distributor supplies, inventory transfers, and bulky consumer deliveries – areas where slab-based parcel shipping models often prove inefficient and costly.

    The platform is tailored to serve logistics use cases that require predictable, structured, and technology-enabled shipment workflows.

    As manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers increasingly depend on frequent B2B shipments to maintain agile supply chains, structured distribution has become essential.

    This need is particularly pronounced in inventory-intensive models such as quick commerce, where rapid and consistent replenishment cycles are critical for operational continuity.

    The Shipway Cargo solution supports a wide range of B2B workflows, including warehouse-to-warehouse movement and bulky last-mile deliveries.

    It enables enhanced control, transparency, and operational efficiency through a dedicated dashboard that allows sellers to manage B2B shipments independently from parcel operations. Key features include slot-based delivery scheduling and access to specialised courier partners.

    Shipway Cargo targets high-frequency and bulky B2B logistics needs

    Early adopters of Shipway Cargo include D2C brands, manufacturers, and B2B sellers with complex and high-volume shipment requirements across multiple distribution formats.

    Commenting on the launch of Shipway Cargo, Kapil Makhija, Managing Director and CEO of Unicommerce, said that B2B shipping plays a critical role in supporting India’s retail expansion across general trade, modern trade, quick commerce, and omnichannel models.

    He noted that high-frequency B2B logistics requires specialised workflows, partners, and service expectations that go beyond traditional parcel shipping, and that Shipway Cargo has been built specifically to address these requirements.

    The launch comes at a time when India’s e-commerce logistics market continues to expand, driven by increasing automation, real-time visibility, and the adoption of connected logistics platforms that are reshaping B2B shipping operations at scale.
