AfterShip is an eCommerce experience SaaS company[2] offering branded shipment tracking, returns management, product discovery personalization, and more.[3][4] It was founded after winning the Startup Weekend Hong Kong 2011[5] and Global Startup Battle 2011.[6][7][8][9] As of 2024, it is headquartered in Singapore[10] with offices in Toronto, Austin, Columbus, Barcelona, London, Sydney, Shenzhen, and Dehli.

The company received $1 million series A investment from IDG Capital Partners (IDG-Accel) in May 2014.[11][12] AfterShip raised $66 million led by Tiger Global in April 2021.[13]

Technology[edit]

AfterShip offers several customizable eCommerce solutions to support brands at each stage. AfterShip is most recognized for its automated shipment tracking,[14] supporting over 1,100+ shipping services worldwide, including UPS, FedEx and DHL.[15][16] Users can check the status of shipments across multiple carriers, and automatically receive emails and notifications at different stages of shipment delivery.

AfterShip integrates with major e-commerce platforms like Shopify, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Bigcommerce, eBay, and Magento.[15][17]

In January 2014, AfterShip launched a package tracking API[18] that allows online retailers to get tracking information from different carriers via AfterShip as a single source.[19] Online retailers can use AfterShip API to display tracking details and information on the website, and monitor carriers’ delivery performance over time.[20]
