If you had the option for same-day delivery versus standard shipping when checking out on your favorite eCommerce site, wouldn’t you take it? 

Assuming the answer is a resounding yes, you’re not the only one — today people expect to receive their parcels no later than the day after they order, and 46% of respondents abandoned shopping carts online as a result of shipping times taking too long. 

Swyft is a software-enabled B2B marketplace that enables any sized merchant, brand or retailer with same and next-day delivery at rates comparable to 2+ day delivery. Our mission is to create magical delivery experiences for shoppers & help merchants grow sales with the most scalable and flexible same/next-day delivery service. 

We aren’t just a shipping and logistics company, we are building the data and framework layer for how a trillion parcels will move within hundreds of cities. Swyft is air traffic control for parcels routed from your favourite store to your door, and you can help us realize this vision.

We’ve raised over $20M and are backed by the world’s best investors including Inovia Capital, Forerunner Ventures, Golden Ventures, Trucks VC and Shopify.
