shipitwise is for intrepid travellers

​Shipitwise's decision to focus on niche markets, and integrate with Travelport may turn out to be masterstroke."

​You have just days before the latest fundraising round on Funderbeam closes for Estonian start-up Shipitwise. 

Shipitwise has sharpened its trajectory, and partnered with booking giant Travelport, having integrated its unique service offering to travel agents. Travelport is a billion-dollar travel commerce platform where travel providers, travel agencies, corporations and developers can search, share, buy and sell travel.

Shipitwise is a start-up based in Estonia. Shipitwise addresses the challenge faced by travellers who need to move specialist equipment, for example, cycling enthusiasts, or items that often commercial passenger airlines might immediately classify as just 'special' luggage. Airlines only fly you from the airport to another airport, and generally, see your journey as one that starts from home to your final destination, such as your hotel.  Shipitwise aims to make this process more convenient and cost effective for travellers overall.

Shipitwise's decision to focus on niche markets, and integrate with Travelport may turn out to be masterstroke. It gives Shipitwise credibility and access to the trillion-dollar travel market.
