The global economy is moving faster than ever before. Technology, consumer demand, and international trade agreements are reshaping how businesses operate and compete.

For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those in Southeast Asia, the opportunities are bigger than at any point in history. Digitalization and e-commerce have given even the smallest brands the chance to sell to customers across the globe. Yet, one persistent barrier remains: logistics.

Moving goods across borders in ASEAN has traditionally been complex, costly, and unpredictable. SMEs often find themselves navigating fragmented supply chains, inconsistent regulations, and opaque cost structures—all of which limit their ability to grow. Recognizing this challenge, two logistics leaders—Amilo and SG LINK —have come together with a shared vision: to make cross-border trade easier, smarter, and more accessible for SMEs. The result of that vision is ShipX, a new joint platform designed to transform logistics in ASEAN.

ShipX is not just another logistics tool. It is a carefully built ecosystem that blends infrastructure, technology, and expertise to give SMEs the kind of logistics advantage once reserved only for global enterprises. By bridging the gap between ambition and execution, ShipX enables businesses to compete more effectively in both regional and international markets.

The Timing: Why ShipX, Why Now?

The launch of ShipX comes at a critical juncture. ASEAN is emerging as a powerhouse in the global economy, with its collective GDP forecast to exceed $4 trillion in the coming years. The region is home to over 600 million consumers and a rapidly expanding middle class, making it a fertile ground for growth.

SMEs form the backbone of ASEAN’s economies, accounting for more than 95% of all businesses and a significant share of employment. However, despite their importance, many SMEs remain limited in scale because of challenges in international trade.

These challenges include:

• High shipping costs that erode margins.
• Lack of transparency in customs procedures and delivery times.
• Fragmented supply chains, where businesses must juggle multiple providers for one shipment.
• Unpredictable regulations that vary from one country to another.

For many SMEs, these hurdles make cross-border trade feel intimidating, if not impossible. ShipX was created to change this narrative.

What ShipX Brings to the Table

ShipX is designed to simplify, unify, and empower. It’s a platform built specifically for SMEs that want to expand without being weighed down by the complexities of international logistics.

Here are the core benefits SMEs can expect:

1. A Unified Network

At its heart, ShipX integrates Amilo’s regional infrastructure with SG LINK's cross-border expertise, creating a network that covers multiple countries seamlessly. From first-mile pickup in one city to last-mile delivery in another, SMEs no longer need to piece together services. ShipX manages it all.

2. Clarity and Transparency

One of the biggest frustrations SMEs face is unclear pricing. With ShipX, pricing structures are transparent and competitive, giving businesses full visibility into their logistics costs. This helps with budgeting, forecasting, and maintaining healthy profit margins.

3. Technology That Simplifies

ShipX comes with an easy-to-use digital platform that centralizes logistics management. SMEs can book shipments, track deliveries in real time, and access analytics to understand performance. What once took countless phone calls and manual tracking now happens in just a few clicks.

4. Scalable Solutions

Whether a business is shipping a handful of packages each month or scaling to thousands of orders, ShipX is designed to grow with them. SMEs can start small and scale seamlessly without changing systems or providers.

5. Support with Customs and Compliance

Customs has always been a sticking point for SMEs. ShipX simplifies the process by providing expert guidance and support. This ensures that shipments move smoothly across borders, reducing delays and compliance risks.

The Power Behind ShipX: Amilo + SG Link

The strength of ShipX lies in the expertise and vision of its two founding partners.

• Amilo has long been recognized for its robust logistics infrastructure and ability to help brands scale across Asia and into the United States. It provides the backbone of operations for ShipX, ensuring reliable, efficient, and cost-effective logistics solutions.
• SG Link brings deep knowledge of ASEAN cross-border logistics, with years of experience helping businesses navigate the unique challenges of customs, regulations, and local delivery networks.

Together, these two companies have pooled their resources, insights, and capabilities to build ShipX. It is more than a partnership—it is a strategic alliance that gives SMEs access to tools they could not otherwise afford or develop on their own.

How ShipX Changes the Game

Imagine a small Vietnamese coffee brand that has been selling successfully in its local market. The founders want to expand into Singapore and Malaysia, where demand for specialty coffee is booming. In the past, the complexity of shipping, customs, and last-mile delivery might have forced them to delay or abandon their plans.

With ShipX, they can:

• Use the platform to book shipments online.
• Access transparent pricing that allows them to calculate margins before shipping.
• Track every package from their warehouse to the customer’s door.
• Rely on customs support to ensure smooth entry into new markets.
• Scale from dozens of monthly orders to hundreds or even thousands without having to switch systems.

This is the kind of empowerment ShipX brings. It takes the stress out of logistics so SMEs can focus on growth, innovation, and customer relationships.

ASEAN Integration and the Global Vision

ASEAN is becoming increasingly integrated, with trade agreements and policies designed to encourage cross-border activity. As tariffs lower and digital adoption accelerates, SMEs have never had more opportunities to expand. Yet without a reliable logistics partner, those opportunities can remain out of reach.

ShipX fills that gap. By combining local expertise with global best practices, it gives SMEs the confidence to enter new markets, compete with international players, and build sustainable businesses.

Moreover, ShipX is not limited to intra-ASEAN trade. With Amilo’s established routes into the United States and beyond, the platform positions SMEs to step into truly global trade.
