Charleston, SC – May 1 st , 2025 – Shipware, an SIB company and a recognized leader in shipping expense management and supply chain optimization, today announced a strategic partnership with ProperSKU, an innovative white-label inventory management platform built specifically for third-party logistics (3PL) providers. Together, the companies are delivering a unified solution that helps 3PLs and their merchant clients enhance inventory visibility, forecast demand more accurately, reduce operational
costs, and ultimately strengthen brand loyalty.

This collaboration addresses a growing need in the logistics space: the ability for 3PLs to offer a more transparent and integrated experience across the entire fulfillment process.  ProperSKU’s platform enables 3PLs to provide their clients with real-time warehouse inventory alongside marketplace visibility, including platforms like Amazon and direct-to-consumer storefronts. The solution also offers advanced forecasting, inventory financing, returns management, and other key services—all under the 3PL’s brand.

“At ProperSKU, we’re thrilled to partner with Shipware to help 3PLs and the merchants they serve unlock even greater value across their fulfillment and shipping operations,” said JD Jernigan, CEO of ProperSKU. “Shipware’s data-driven, cost optimization expertise perfectly complements our demand forecasting and SKU visibility tools—empowering our mutual clients to make smarter decisions, reduce costs, and scale with confidence.”

The partnership enhances both companies’ ability to help 3PLs build long-term brand trust and client retention. As Jernigan  explains, communication gaps around inventory availability, shipping timelines, or returns often cause frustration for merchants and erode confidence in their 3PL partners. By combining Shipware’s best-in-class cost reduction and shipping analytics with ProperSKU’s branded technology solutions, the two firms aim to eliminate those friction points and drive smarter logistics strategies.

“We’re thrilled to partner with ProperSKU to offer 3PLs a real solution for brand engagement and inventory transparency,” said Andrew Wilson, Partnerships Manager at Shipware. “ProperSKU’s platform aligns perfectly with Shipware’s commitment to helping companies improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance client satisfaction. Together, we are setting a new standard for logistics support in the industry.”

As part of the partnership, Shipware will lead joint press and promotional initiatives, with co-branding support and collaboration from ProperSKU. Both companies are committed to helping 3PLs elevate their service offerings through better technology, deeper insights, and actionable cost savings empowering them to deliver exceptional experiences to the brands they serve.
