ShipUniversal has expanded its carrier network to reach more than 220 countries and territories, adding over 14,000 active routes through new partnerships with regional and last-mile carriers across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
The expansion targets a gap that many India-based exporters know well: strong coverage to major hubs in North America, Europe and the Middle East, but slower, less reliable options into emerging markets where demand is growing fastest. By adding direct partnerships in these regions instead of relying solely on long-haul consolidators, we've cut average transit times to several previously underserved markets and improved delivery reliability across the board.
What this means for shippers:
- New direct lanes into markets across West and East Africa, the Andean region of Latin America, and secondary cities in Southeast Asia that previously required multi-leg routing.
- Shorter transit times on routes that were rerouted through fewer intermediate hubs.
- Improved tracking granularity, since new last-mile partners feed scan events directly into our tracking system rather than batching updates.
- More competitive rates into these regions as volume consolidates onto direct partnerships instead of third-party brokers.
This is part of an ongoing effort to make ShipUniversal a genuinely global network rather than one optimised only for the largest trade lanes. We're continuing to add carrier partnerships in the coming months, with a focus on the regions where our customers are seeing the fastest order growth. If there's a destination where you'd like to see better coverage, let us know — customer demand is exactly how we prioritise the next round of partnerships.
