Certified Problem Solver

Shipmnts is a verifiable, active logistics platform (est. 2015) addressing a high-utility problem in global supply chain management. External search confirms a team size of 20-40 and legitimate B2B operations. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and lacking verified metrics. The score reflects the project's genuine utility and established market presence, heavily discounted by the lack of credible evidence provided in the application.

Description
At Shipmnts, we're working towards fixing the Global Logistics UX. Moving cargo from one country to another requires one to\n- manage complicated documentation, licenses and compliances, \n- coordinate with multiple folks managing different parts of the end to end supply chain, \n- clear customs, organise multimodal (ocean/air + land) transport, warehousing and more in both the countries\nThis all is still unreliably managed using email, phone calls and layers of manual repetitive processes - costing time, money, human intervention related errors, delays, skewed supply chains \u0026 a lot of stress. We are building an intelligent platform that understands global trade flows and can assist in orchestrating its associated logistics and compliance. \n\nWe want to make global shipping as easy as booking a cab. All in an attempt to enable multinationals and Micro-multinationals to easily ship their cargo anywhere in the world. Say hello to Globalisation 2.0!
