Import automation for SMBs
Forward the supplier email. Shiphoppa turns inbox threads, PDFs and partner updates into one live product order record with supplier chasing, payment approvals, customs, trucking and delivery. No workflow rebuild.
We automate the entire import, from order to arrival.
Here's the first phase: managing your purchase order, supplier payments, production, inspections and documents until cargo is ready to ship.
Phase two: getting it here. Choose full container, shared container, or contracted freight. We handle pickup, loading and tracking from origin to destination port.
Final phase: port to your door. Customs clearance, duty, quarantine, trucking and proof of delivery.
All handled, all in one place.
How it works
Supplier emails, purchase orders, invoices, shipping documents. Forward them to Shiphoppa and we turn them into a live import that moves itself from order to arrival.
Forward the emails and documents you already get from suppliers, freight forwarders, brokers and couriers. One address. That's it.
Shiphoppa manages the full import across Order, Ship and Deliver. Supplier chasing, payments, shipping, customs, trucking and delivery all move without manual work.
Suppliers, couriers, warehouses and brokers get secure links to upload what's needed. No accounts, no access to your data.
Three products, one engine
Import automation is the core. The same clean data also powers shared container space for smaller importers and spare-space recovery for FCL owners.
Order to arrival in one app. Supplier management, shipping, customs, delivery and approvals across all three phases.
For smaller importers who want FCL economics without buying the whole container. Powered by the same automation engine.
For FCL owners with empty CBM. Shiphoppa finds compatible demand while protecting the owner's cargo, sailing and controls.
What we automate
Each phase runs automatically. Your team only steps in for approvals, and each one comes with the context attached.
Purchase orders, supplier payments, production tracking and inspections. All automated from the moment you forward.
Missing documents, photos and updates are requested through secure links. No manual follow-up needed.
FCL, MCL or LCL. The system finds the best option, books it, and tracks transit to the destination port.
Duties, GST, quarantine and broker coordination. Prepared and queued for your approval.
Port trucking, warehouse handling and proof of delivery. Tracked in the same place, start to finish.
Across all three phases
Each approval comes with the full context attached. No chasing, no digging through email threads.
FAQ
No. Forward the emails and documents you already receive. Shiphoppa takes over from there. Later, you can connect Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for automatic inbox sync.
No. They keep emailing you as usual, or use secure upload links. Suppliers, couriers, brokers and warehouses can each contribute what's needed without seeing your private data.
Order covers everything from purchase order to cargo ready to ship: supplier payments, production, inspections and documents. Ship handles transport from origin to destination port. Deliver handles customs, duty, quarantine, trucking and proof of delivery to your door.
They run on the same automation engine. Smaller importers can find shared container space at better rates, and FCL owners can recover empty CBM when the system proves the cargo is compatible.
Everything runs automatically, but decisions with real risk (payments, customs releases, large commitments) come to your team as approvals with the full context attached.
