ShipPlus Logistics

What ShipPlus Logistics does

ShipPlus Logistics is a privately held, full-service freight forwarding and logistics company headquartered in Karachi, Pakistan, founded in 2019. The company provides import, export, and global freight services to Pakistani B2B clients, with a particular focus on the country's five largest export verticals: textiles, food and agriculture (including perishable cargo), sports goods, leather products, and surgical goods. Operations are run from a single office at Land Mark Plaza, I.I. Chundrigar Road, Karachi, by a team of 5 employees. The company presents itself as serving customers "worldwide" through a global network of carrier and partner relationships, though its physical footprint is single-country.

The company's core product portfolio comprises six interconnected service lines: Ocean Freight (FCL, LCL, and buyer's consolidation), Air Freight (express, standard, door-to-door), Road Freight (truckload, intermodal, refrigerated, LTL, plus rail options for containerized cargo across Pakistan), Customs Brokerage (clearance and compliance with fast-track capability), Perishable Logistics (24/7 reefer handling for fruits, vegetables, and seafood), and Consolidation (small-shipment aggregation into FCL). All six are marketed as integrated into a door-to-door solution spanning origin to destination including destination customs clearance, duties, and taxes.

The underlying technology consists of a company website with online shipment tracking — provided by third-party web developer TJ Solutions — and phone/email direct contact channels. There are no APIs, no proprietary digital platform, no AI/ML capabilities, and no mobile applications. The business model is purely transactional: ShipPlus earns fees on each shipment handled, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue derives from per-shipment transaction fees across the six service lines, with carrier purchasing power (twelve global shipping line contracts including Maersk, MSC, COSCO, CMA CGM, and APL) cited as the primary source of competitive rates. No funding rounds, investor backing, or institutional ownership has been disclosed.
