Case Study: CrateBase expands into new markets and cuts development costs with ShipEngine

CrateBase expands into new markets and cuts development costs

CrateBase, a platform for sellers in the collectibles space, needed to expand into new markets like the US but found that adding and maintaining shipping carriers was consuming excessive development resources. Their challenge was to offer the right carriers for their customers' often rare items without the high cost and time of direct carrier integrations. They turned to the vendor ShipEngine for a solution.

By integrating with ShipEngine's global carrier library, CrateBase gained access to over 100 carriers through a single API, which drastically cut development time and costs. This solution enabled them to successfully launch in the US within months. The result was significant growth, with 90% of their label creation now processed through ShipEngine, leading to a major return on investment and freeing up resources to focus on other customer operations.
