Zim scoops up international shopping platform


The technology company Ladingo, which just closed a USD 1 million funding round, also counts the Haifa-based carrier Zim among its investors. The start-up, founded in January 2018, claims to be the world’s first company to offer a comprehensive solution to online shops selling large and bulky items such as furniture, bicycles, fitness equipment, garden equipment, electronics etc. – directly from overseas retailers or manufacturers to the shoppers’ door.

 

Ladingo’s technological platform offers a transparent digital integration of the entire process. Today, nearly all B2C e-commerce purchases, estimated at USD 2.5 trillion annually, are shipped as airfreight.

 

In view of latest developments in retail logistics, both Zim and Ladingo want to provide a technological solution to introduce ocean freight to this market. (kd)
