Seven Senders

Founded in Berlin in 2015, Seven Senders enables merchants across Europe to connect with over 100 local carriers via their one-stop solution delivery platform. With their first and last mile expertise and additional software and delivery services, Seven Senders offers online retailers of all sizes a complete 360 cross-border logistics solution.

Intersoft

Intersoft plays a key role in making this cross-border logistics solution possible. As a leader in carrier management software, Intersoft provides the tools that allow retailers to easily generate shipping labels and track deliveries in a seamless integration with carriers through one API. The platform is designed to simplify processes, giving retailers the ability to focus on growing their business without being bogged down by logistical challenges.

Shipping to the UK made easy with Seven Senders

While the UK is no longer part of the EU, it’s still a large and important market for merchants across Europe.

European retailers want to ship goods to UK consumers, but they don’t want the complications or potential high costs that can come with cross-border shipping and clearing customs. This is where Seven Senders steps in, aided by the partnership with Intersoft.

Along with the physical movement of goods, Seven Senders offers shippers an easy, streamlined and cost-effective customs solution via only one partner.

Seven Senders manages the entire customs clearance process. Merchants don’t have the inconvenience of dealing with customs authorities themselves. They simply share their shipping information via the Seven Senders API, ensuring customs requirements are met, administrative costs are significantly reduced, and deliveries are made to end users without them incurring import or VAT duties.

Julian Meichsner, Seven Senders Senior Manager Business Development, explained:

“Our fully digital customs solution simplifies cross-border logistics, making borders virtually disappear for our customers. As their single point of contact, we not only manage the entire customs process, we also leverage our in-depth expertise within Seven Senders to ensure compliance with regulations.”

With a deep understanding of the market, we select the best local carrier, guaranteeing a smooth and efficient delivery experience.” — Julian Meichsner, Senior Manager Business Development, Seven Senders

Connecting seamlessly with Intersoft

Intersoft’s carrier management software is the last puzzle piece in connecting European merchants with UK consumers through Seven Senders. With Intersoft’s integration, a wide network of local carriers, in particular Royal Mail, ensuring that their shipments reach UK customers quickly and efficiently.

Seven Senders is continuously looking for partners who can help provide a best-in-class delivery experience to their customers and, ultimately, their customers’ end consumers.

In eCommerce logistics, the carrier shipping label plays a crucial role in enabling the parcel to move from A to B. With Intersoft, they found a partner that allows them to provide not only higher performance but also a reliable solution for generating carrier shipping labels.

Seven Senders’ Julian Wuertz and his team worked with Intersoft to build the platform that would link Seven Senders with the Royal Mail system via Intersoft.

About the partnership, he said:

“The Seven Senders customs solution is contingent on us obtaining carrier labels. Only shipments that have a label attached can cross the UK border. Ultimately, various components must be seamlessly integrated to provide an excellent experience to our customers.”

“Our customs team is happy about the stable solution established in collaboration with Intersoft.“ — Julian Wuertz, Head of Product,  Seven Senders

Exposing UK businesses to new markets

Through this seamless integration, both partners have made it extremely easy for Intersoft’s network of UK merchants. They can take advantage of the physical shipping and SaaS delivery services and customs clearance solution provided by Seven Senders to ship their goods to European destinations easily and quickly.

Julian Meichsner added:

“We can help both UK and pan European retailers scale up their businesses by facilitating easy access and high customer satisfaction from day one.  Through our shipping and customs clearance services, we can hugely simplify exporting and importing goods to and from the UK.”

A shared commitment to sustainability

Intersoft and Seven Senders also share another common goal – a strong commitment to improving sustainability within the eCommerce industry.

The industry has the potential to significantly cut emissions and reduce waste to lessen its current impact on the environment. Recognising its role at the heart of the eCommerce landscape, Intersoft is leading the way in making environmentally conscious changes.

As well as implementing many sustainable services throughout the organisation, and winning several sustainability awards while doing so, Intersoft looks to partner with like-minded organisations such as Seven Senders.

Seven Senders supports its shippers with an easy way to achieve carbon-neutral shipping with its 7SGreen service. For a small surcharge per shipment, Seven Senders offsets the transport-related CO2 emissions from shipments by actively supporting certified climate protection projects. The CO2 calculation methodology of 7SGreen is certified by DEKRA (DIN EN 16258) and includes first and last-mile CO2 emissions.

Together, Intersoft and Seven Senders make environmentally conscious shipping more accessible to businesses of all sizes, whilst supporting these businesses in scaling their shipping operations.
