Mexican-founded logistics company WeShip aims to expand into the US market

WeShip: Mexican Logistics Tech Firm Targets U.S. Market

A rapidly expanding logistics technology company from Mexico, founded by former e-commerce professionals, is preparing to enter the United States this year. Their strategy is to leverage software tailored to real-world shipping challenges, aiming to compete in the highly consolidated American parcel delivery sector.

WeShip, headquartered in Monterrey, is a multi-carrier shipping platform. According to co-founders Luis Alanis and Adrian Galan, the company will begin offering domestic parcel shipping within the U.S. in 2026. This move marks the initial step in a larger plan that will eventually include cross-border shipping between the U.S. and Mexico, as well as freight services.

WeShip’s initial U.S. rollout will focus on domestic parcel delivery, primarily serving its current clients who already operate on both sides of the border. The company intends to introduce cross-border parcel solutions next, followed by freight offerings.

Unlike Mexico’s fragmented last-mile delivery landscape, the American parcel market is controlled by a handful of major carriers—a factor the founders believe will streamline their expansion process.

“Mexico has a much larger number of carriers and integrations,” explained Alanis, WeShip’s CTO. “In the U.S., the market is more centralized, which we think will make our launch smoother.”

Established in 2021, WeShip connects various parcel carriers with e-commerce platforms, enabling merchants to handle shipments, compare pricing, monitor delivery metrics, and track customs status—all from a single dashboard.

“Our platform links carriers like FedEx, UPS, Zafeta, and soon the United States Postal Service, with e-commerce platforms,” said Galan, WeShip’s CEO.

“We also integrate with online marketplaces. Businesses using our software can save up to 75% compared to standard carrier rates. Our primary customers are small and medium-sized enterprises, with over a thousand clients in Mexico alone.”

In addition to SMBs, WeShip also serves large organizations such as Costco and Movado.

Enhanced Cross-Border Transparency

For international shipments, WeShip’s platform allows users to input customs information, tariff codes, and shipment purposes directly, while offering real-time updates on customs clearance status—whether a package is held, cleared, or still in transit.

Clients can also evaluate carrier performance and pinpoint delays across warehouses, suppliers, and delivery partners.

“Such transparency is vital, especially for cross-border parcel shipments,” Galan noted.

WeShip’s cross-border customers ship a wide range of goods, from clothing and jewelry to industrial machinery. Some large clients manage intricate international supply chains, supplying U.S. manufacturers and aerospace companies like SpaceX through their own networks.

Impressive Growth Without External Funding

Despite being entirely self-funded, WeShip has experienced rapid growth. The company reported $95,000 in revenue during its first year, which soared to $2.2 million last year—an average annual growth rate of about 120%, according to the founders. The team remains small, with around 10 employees, and is already profitable.

This strong performance has drawn interest from major parcel carriers such as FedEx and UPS, and WeShip participates in the USPS partner program through its U.S. subsidiary.

“FedEx actually invited us to open a U.S. account,” Galan shared. “That invitation was a major catalyst for our decision to expand there.”

Operator-Driven Innovation

Unlike many logistics tech startups, WeShip did not begin as a technology company. Alanis and Galan previously managed their own e-commerce business, shipping parcels domestically and internationally, and developed WeShip to address their own operational challenges.

“We were our own first clients,” Galan explained. “We handled daily shipments, juggled multiple carriers, dealt with manual processes, limited visibility, and unreliable tools. So, we built the solution we wished we had.”

This hands-on experience shaped the platform’s features. WeShip automates shipment creation by pulling order data directly from connected online stores and offers analytics on carrier transit times, pickup delays, warehouse efficiency, and delivery performance.

“All our technology is developed internally,” said Alanis, who also serves as chief product officer. “Adrian and I design the product together, focusing on what customers truly need in their daily operations.”

Looking Forward

The founders credit Monterrey’s entrepreneurial spirit and its emergence as a tech hub for much of WeShip’s success.

“There’s a strong tradition of building businesses here,” Galan remarked.

Looking ahead, WeShip anticipates reaching $3.5 million in revenue this year, with early contributions from the U.S. market. While the founders are open to seeking outside investment to support further U.S. growth, they stress the importance of sustainable, measured expansion.

“We’re profitable and committed to growing responsibly,” Alanis said. “We’ve seen the pitfalls of scaling too quickly.”

For now, WeShip’s priority is flawless execution—first in the U.S. domestic market, then across the increasingly active trade corridor between Mexico and the United States.
