About ShipShape Software

What we do

ShipShape is a leading and well-established (35 years) software development company in the Logistics Industry with its primary clients being freight forwarders and clearing agents. Because we operate in a niche business-to-business market, you may not have heard of ShipShape but our solid reputation in the market and large customer base (+/- 400 hundred firms using our software across Southern Africa)

The product itself can be described as an ERP system for the Logistics Industry covering a diverse range of functionality and features in a single platform. It is a vast product covering all aspects of shipment management from initial order through to international transport, Customs clearance, local warehousing and distribution, financial management and much more.

A strong focus emerged in recent years on data exchange, automation and integration – and our robust internally-developed middleware plays an important role in this space, and is an area where we continue to innovate and invest in.

Why Work For Us

ShipShape has embarked on a large-scale project to redesign its current Windows-based product from the ground up. This includes a complete re-design of the underlying data model as well as a new Web Application Architecture for the Cloud.

With our wealth of experience in this industry (and software development) our goal is to deliver a state-of-the-art product that can compete with the best in the international market.

The technologies that are being used includes, but is not limited to:
• Angular & TypeScript
• C#
• GraphQL
