During the first five years, ShipBob\u2019s founders, Dhruv Saxena and Divey Gulati, focused their time and energy into building a foundation. They grew up in India together and came to the United States in 2007, both graduating with a degree in engineering. As engineers, they\u2019re always looking for ways to automate pretty much anything.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>They started a few ecommerce companies together and, like many of our merchants have experienced, found themselves standing in line at the post office in the Willis Tower in Chicago with a load of orders to ship.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Dhruv and Divey noticed a massive gap in fulfilment services for direct-to-consumer brands, so they started asking other people in line at the post office two questions:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span>If there was a service that would take care of fulfilment for you, would you stop coming to the post office?&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li><span>How much would you be willing to pay for fulfilment services?<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Based on the responses, it was clear how massive the problem was.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>What ecommerce brands often don\u2019t realize is putting fulfilment infrastructure in place is expensive, and there\u2019s a lot more to it than packing boxes and shipping orders. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Between racking, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/inventory-management\/#:~:text=ShipBob%20is%20not%20a%20standalone,stores%20and%20ShipBob's%20fulfillment%20centers.\"><span>managing inventory<\/span><\/a><span>, and investing in equipment, every time you reach higher order volumes, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/calculating-cost-per-order\/\"><span>cost per order<\/span><\/a><span> increases. It\u2019s not uncommon for brands to miscalculate how much it\u2019s going to cost them to do it all themselves \u2014 and it\u2019s not just money, it\u2019s time too.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>We were accepted into the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ycombinator.com\/shipbob-yc-s14-helps-small-business-owners-avoid-post-office-purgatory\/\"><span>Y-Combinator<\/span><\/a><span> program, completed it in Spring 2014, and brought our idea of building a fulfilment service for growing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/direct-to-consumer-brands-and-3pl\/\"><span>direct-to-consumer brands<\/span><\/a><span> to life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Our goal was (and still is) to help ecommerce brands of all sizes be successful online with access to a fulfilment infrastructure that allows them to \u201cdo it themselves\u201d while saving on costs, time, and energy. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>DTC brands shouldn\u2019t have to build the fulfilment infrastructure themselves \u2014 that\u2019s why we continuously work on building and expanding the infrastructure that works for all ecommerce brands.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-blog is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><i><span>\u201cWe want to be the de facto standard of shipping and logistics for ecommerce\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Dhruv Saxena, CEO and Co-Founder of ShipBob&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Soon after ShipBob opened its first Chicago fulfilment centre, Dhruv and his small team found a nice-looking location in Brooklyn, which they initially thought would be perfect due it its close proximity to so many New Yorkers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Looking back, it probably wasn\u2019t the best idea to sign a multi-year lease on the fifth floor with an elevator that could only hold one palette at a time, but it got the company to where it is today.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-always-growing-always-improving\">Always growing, always improving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>We\u2019re constantly evaluating our efficiencies.

We\u2019ve taken the pandemic very seriously from the beginning, from ordering our employees in our Chicago headquarters to work from home in mid-March to being proactive and beginning fulfilment centre contingency planning back in February. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Our fulfilment centre leaders and associates have put in the extra time to prepare, change processes, and problem solve on how to stay fully operational while staying safe.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>We continue to do everything we can to make our buildings safe and keep our staff safe, we continue to require PPE for all staff (as we have for the past nine weeks), conduct heightened cleaning, and even require PPE for all courier partners in our yards who are not allowed in the buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>The last several months have proved that much of the hard work in the last six years is truly paying off. During this time, we\u2019ve also grown and expanded, seeing order volume increases each week, greater than what we handled in peak season 2019 when we had months to plan for it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>In this time, we\u2019ve been able to hire over 150 people and add more shifts, and we plan to hire another 100. Maneuvering through this challenging situation while being able to thrive, adapt, and grow has been a continuous learning lesson.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>One of the many benefits of splitting inventory across multiple ShipBob fulfilment centres is that if one fulfilment location needs to shut down for any reason, orders can be fulfilled by a secondary location. It requires more cost upfront but is often outweighed by servicing the end customer by getting the packaged shipped and delivered on time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>We listened closely to what our merchants\u2019 challenged and what they needed during COVID-19 and our focus was to fully support them in however way we can during these trying times.
