AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Shipwell, a leading cloud transportation management, visibility, and freight procurement solutions provider, announced today exceptional financial and customer satisfaction highlights for 2022. Despite a difficult year for tech companies and continuing challenges in global supply chain execution, Shipwell achieved notable new milestones in growth, revenue, customer satisfaction, and other areas, including:
- A 3.5x increase in revenue year-over-year in its SaaS platform business
- Doubling its unique customer count

The customer growth marks Shipwell’s meteoric rise among supply chain technology vendors during a year when many businesses and markets still struggled to find post-pandemic stability. Headwinds for the supply chain industry in 2022 included continued volatility in port congestion, shipping rates, capacity availability, ongoing inventory imbalances, growing inflation, and capital costs toward the end of the year. Where these challenges saw many tech companies in the supply chain space announcing layoffs or staff reductions in the latter half of the year, Shipwell continued to innovate and continue their rapid growth.
Shipwell CEO and co-founder, Greg Price, commented on the year’s breakthrough results: “We’re proud to be able to deliver both immediate and tangible business value to our customers and honored to be a strategic partner and trusted advisor on their journeys toward digital supply chain transformation.”
The past three years have witnessed increasing recognition of the value of transportation management as a competitive differentiator by shippers of all sizes. The Shipwell cloud-based transportation management system (TMS) offers real-time visibility and data analytics. It employs artificial intelligence to speed better decision-making, with a uniquely streamlined user experience that enables even new logistics hires to become productive more quickly.
“We’re confident that our technology provides the best advantage to shippers, with the intelligence, agility, and efficiency they need to compete effectively, efficiently, and with predictability,” added Price. “Our goal is to bring the most advanced technology and services to optimize every aspect of supply chain and logistics processes.”
