Our story

We build software that delivers.

We're a close-knit team of innovators, passionate about technology and the future of parcel delivery. Driven by a shared commitment to efficiency, we work together to create delightful experiences that simplify the complexities of the courier industry.

Shiplogic was born out of necessity in 2017. At the time, uAfrica (now known as Bob Go, part of Bob Group), a courier aggregator platform, experienced constant frustration working on and integrating with outdated courier software. Clunky systems, unreliable integrations, and poor data validation created friction for couriers, online stores, and ultimately the end customer.

As a tech-driven team that loves building things, we asked ourselves: Why not create something better?

What followed was a multi-year journey of prototyping, testing, and building from the ground up. In early 2021, we softly launched Shiplogic, a modern, API-first TMS designed to help courier businesses run smarter. We didn't just want to replace legacy systems. We wanted to reimagine how a courier operation could work with real-time tracking, comprehensive billing, proactive customer updates, and automation baked in.

In July 2025, we officially spun Shiplogic out of Bob Group as a fully independent company, allowing us to sharpen our focus and double down on solving real courier problems at scale.

Today, Shiplogic powers some of South Africa's most-loved courier brands, including The Courier Guy, Internet Express, MTE Express, Takealot Fulfilment Solutions, and a growing list of regional and niche operators. Our mission is to help courier companies optimise, cut costs, and improve their customers' delivery experience, so they can stay ahead in a rapidly evolving world.
