gaining improved access to cross-border
eCommerce
solutions in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific
and
Australia through their new global partnership with SEKO Logistics. Customers looking for
fast and cost-efficient global shipping solutions can now book deliveries directly through SEKO on the Easyship platform – seamlessly connecting sellers of all sizes with best-in-class, worldwide shipping services. Along with providing a
shipping gateway for every seller’s online store, Easyship’s all-in-one shipping tool
calculates tax and duties for worldwide deliveries, provides rate comparisons, service analytics, pre-filled customs documentation for
all countries, and a shipping management dashboard allowing sellers to view all transactions. In addition, Easyship’s tool offers storage and pick-and-pack fulfilment services, shipping labels, the ability to arrange pick-ups and global tracking. For sellers, showing
customers real-time shipping options and full cost visibility triples the likelihood of online purchase completion and significantly reduces shopping cart abandonment rates. Also, Easyship now provides merchants US domestic returns, and branded email and tracking, regardless of the final mile postal carrier. Brian Bourke, VP of
Marketing at SEKO Logistics, commented:
“2018 was our
busiest year ever for cross- border eCommerce traffic
and, in Asia Pacific, this was partly due to our partnership with Easyship. By creating a global partnership between our

onboarding,” and

bundled parcel and freight solutions for the past five years and has seen many changes in the market over this time; specifically, in relation to technology tools. “Last year, we made a
strategic decision to partner more with technology providers that are

Bourke said. “This initiative has allowed us to scale faster by taking away the need for system integration with different retailers.” Easyship has done this with
over 40,000 sellers and, with a rapidly growing base. “What we especially
like about Easyship is that, from day one, they have been thinking as a global eCommerce channel,” he added.
“For example, we
know that their duty and tax
calculators are exactly
what sellers are looking for to increase their confidence of trading internationally. This is a key partnership for SEKO Logistics which
will
generate a lot more interest in our cross-border services and huge growth opportunities.”

DoKaSch will supply its Opticooler for Turkish Cargo, the largest carrier in the world by number of passenger destinations and a member of the Star Alliance network. “Turkish Airlines serves more destinations than any other airline. This means that our Opticoolers are now available to many more clients that need reliable temperature- controlled air freight,” said Andreas Seitz, Managing Director of DoKaSch Temperature Solutions. The Opticooler, electric air-conditioned

can keep pharmaceuticals exactly within their temperature range, regardless of a tropical summer or arctic winter. The Opticooler has a very high fail-safety and is considered to be reliable product for pharmaceutical transportation. Just like in a normal warehouse, a constant temperature can be maintained if the Opticooler is occasionally connected to the power grid. With the move of Turkish
Cargo to the Istanbul Airport in 2019, Turkish Cargo’s clients will benefit from spacious and state-of-the-art cargo facilities and will provide a safe hub for transportation of
temperature-sensitive
pharmaceuticals all over the world.
