The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. After months of planning, building, and refining, ShipX is officially live.
ShipX, born from the strategic partnership of Amilo and SG LINK, represents more than a logistics platform. It is a bold step forward in empowering ASEAN small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to confidently enter and scale in the world of cross-border trade.
For years, SMEs across Southeast Asia have faced the same daunting obstacles: unpredictable shipping costs, opaque customs procedures, and fragmented supply chains that drain time, energy, and resources. ShipX was built to eliminate those pain points, enabling SMEs to operate with the same speed, visibility, and cost efficiency that global enterprises enjoy.
Now, with ShipX live, SMEs across ASEAN have a new ally—one that understands their challenges and is committed to their success.
Why ShipX Matters for ASEAN SMEs
ASEAN is a region brimming with opportunity. Home to over 650 million people, with one of the fastest-growing middle-class populations in the world, it’s a vibrant marketplace that’s increasingly interconnected. Cross-border e-commerce sales alone are expected to surpass $200 billion by 2025, creating unprecedented opportunities for SMEs.
Yet, these opportunities come with barriers:
- Inconsistent logistics providers that force SMEs to juggle multiple partners.
- Customs delays and unclear compliance rules that create frustration.
- Unpredictable shipping costs that make planning difficult.
- Limited visibility that leaves businesses in the dark once products leave their warehouses.
For many SMEs, these obstacles are deal-breakers. They prevent companies from taking the leap into new markets or force them to operate at thin margins.
ShipX was built to solve these challenges head-on. By combining Amilo’s robust infrastructure with SG LINK's deep regional expertise, the platform provides SMEs with an end-to-end solution that simplifies trade and fuels growth.
What ShipX Offers: Key Features and Services
At launch, ShipX brings together a comprehensive suite of features designed to meet the needs of SMEs that want to scale beyond their borders.
1. All-in-One Dashboard
ShipX provides a single platform where SMEs can manage every aspect of their logistics journey. With one login, businesses can:
- Book shipments.
- Track deliveries across borders in real time.
- Monitor performance metrics to improve efficiency.
- Access customer support when needed.
This means fewer spreadsheets, fewer phone calls, and far less guesswork.
2. End-to-End Logistics Coverage
One of the biggest pain points for SMEs has been fragmented logistics. ShipX addresses this by offering full supply chain coverage:
- First-mile pickup from the seller’s warehouse or office.
- Customs clearance and compliance support, removing roadblocks.
- International shipping through a unified network.
- Last-mile delivery to customers in multiple countries.
With ShipX, SMEs no longer need three or four different service providers to move a single shipment—it’s all under one roof.
3. Customs Made Simple
Navigating customs has historically been one of the hardest parts of cross-border trade. Every country has its own regulations, documentation requirements, and compliance risks. For SMEs, one mistake can mean costly delays.
ShipX simplifies customs with:
- Expert guidance on documentation.
- Pre-cleared shipping processes.
- Built-in compliance support that minimizes delays.
This ensures goods move seamlessly across borders, giving SMEs the confidence to scale without fear of regulatory hurdles.
4. Transparent and Competitive Pricing
Pricing is often unpredictable when working with multiple providers. ShipX introduces a model that prioritizes clarity and fairness.
SMEs receive upfront, transparent pricing that includes all relevant costs—no hidden fees, no sudden surprises. This allows businesses to calculate margins more accurately and plan for sustainable growth.
5. Regional Reach, Global Ambition
At launch, ShipX connects SMEs across major ASEAN markets including Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. But it doesn’t stop there. With Amilo’s established global connections, ShipX also positions SMEs to expand into markets like the United States, Europe, and beyond.
This means a small brand in Ho Chi Minh City can confidently sell to customers in Los Angeles or Berlin, backed by logistics that scale with them.
The Amilo + SG LINK Advantage
What makes ShipX possible is the partnership between two logistics powerhouses.
- Amilo brings years of experience helping brands expand across Asia and into the U.S., with a backbone of infrastructure that ensures reliability and scale.
- SG LINK contributes its expertise in ASEAN cross-border trade, with a nuanced understanding of customs, regional regulations, and last-mile delivery networks.
Together, they’ve created a platform that merges global standards with regional expertise—a rare combination that directly benefits SMEs.
Real-World Impact: How SMEs Can Use ShipX
To illustrate the power of ShipX, let’s look at a few real-world scenarios:
- A fashion SME in JakartaPreviously, expanding into Singapore meant coordinating three providers: one for domestic pickup, another for customs, and a third for last-mile delivery. With ShipX, everything is managed in one dashboard, cutting both time and cost.
- A beauty brand in ManilaCustoms delays used to make international orders unreliable. With ShipX’s compliance support, the brand now ships consistently to customers in Malaysia and Thailand without disruptions.
- A tech accessory seller in Ho Chi Minh CityWith ShipX’s transparent pricing, the business can confidently offer international shipping rates to customers in Europe, knowing there won’t be hidden costs.
These examples highlight the tangible benefits SMEs can expect—efficiency, reliability, and scalability.
The Bigger Picture: ShipX and ASEAN Integration
ShipX is not just about solving logistics challenges; it’s about contributing to the broader vision of ASEAN integration. As regional trade agreements expand and e-commerce adoption accelerates, the role of logistics becomes increasingly strategic.
By simplifying cross-border trade, ShipX helps ASEAN SMEs take advantage of these macroeconomic shifts. It ensures they are not just participants in this growth story, but leaders who drive it forward.
