Shiptheory is going Stateside: Our new US office
We're excited to announce that Shiptheory is in the process of opening its first office based in the USA! Our founders James and Mark have just returned from a productive view weeks scoping out the location of our new office and meeting some great people from Brightpearl, FedEx and BigCommerce.
"But what does this mean for me?"

Our support times are now extending to 11pm GMT/BST, making it easier for US retailers to reach our support team. Keep an eye out for updates on the location of our new office!
New Integration: what3words
We're delighted to announce that Shiptheory is now fully compatible with what3words, whose unique solution could revolutionize shipping and logistics.
what3wordshave divided the whole planet into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and given each a unique combination of three words, making it easy to designate incredibly specific delivery locations, helping to eliminate frustration at the latter stages of the delivery process.
Companies using Shiptheory can now replace certain address fields in Shiptheory with a what3words field. To learn more about what3words and how to set it up in your Shiptheory account, check out our launch blog and support docs.

Customer Spotlight: Jimmy's Iced Coffee
This month, we'd like to say a big thanks to Jimmy's Iced Coffee, who sent us this thoughtful bundle after our team helped set them up. We're always looking for new products to stock our vending machine with to keep our team refreshed and energized throughout the work week - the only problem is we got through them a little too quickly...
Over the last 15 years Jimmy' has grown from a brother and sister duo packaging orders in a bedsit to become one of the most iconic iced coffee brands, stocked in the UK and beyond. If you're interested in grabbing some Jimmy's for yourself, whether that's in-store or via a subscription, visit their site to explore their range of products and find out where you can pick some up.
Coming soon:
NetSuite: We're about to launch our integration with NetSuite, a cloud-based business management platform that helps companies manage ERP/financials, CRM, eCommerce and inventory. The integration will offer full Shiptheory functionality to NetSuite users.
Canada Post: Canada's reliable national provider, Canada Post, is next up on our list of carrier integrations and will be released shortly, allowing Shiptheory users in North America even greater carrier variety.
