299: Modernize Your Ecommerce Supply Chain, with Shipium
Jason Murray is the co-founder of Shipium, a logistics technology company. With a 20-year career at Amazon in VP and Director roles, he was instrumental in developing the company's fulfillment center software and fast shipping programs, including helping launch 'Fulfilled by Amazon'. Murray's experience showed him that fast, affordable shipping was a major growth lever, but the necessary technology was unavailable to most retailers. He co-founded Shipium to provide a data-driven platform that helps other ecommerce businesses modernize their supply chains and compete on delivery speed and cost.
Today I’m joined by Shipium, a powerhouse logistics tech company who are on a mission to modernize the ecommerce supply chain, and help you turn logistics into a strategic differentiator for growth.
