With e-commerce booming globally, the demand for reliable and affordable logistics solutions is higher than ever. Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and SkyNet Worldwide Express have responded by forming a strategic partnership and developing a new cross-border e-commerce solution offering a comprehensive, end-to-end service that connects consumers and brands worldwide. The solution covers all aspects of the e-commerce supply chain, including warehousing, fulfilment, re-fulfilment, B2C deliveries and returns management.
By combining Hellmann’s global freight expertise with SkyNet’s advanced e-commerce capabilities, the partners have created a new approach to cross-border trade. SkyNet´s decades of experience in B2C delivery and partnerships with leading global retailers enable seamless digital integration, advanced customs clearance, and reliable last-mile operations. Together, they deliver a service faster than postal shipping yet significantly more cost-effective than express options. Integrated systems provide end-to-end tracking across all regions and transport modes, while SkyNet’s digital tools and API connectivity allow merchants to manage global shipments through a single integration. Hellmann contributes the freight infrastructure and worldwide warehousing expertise to scale operations efficiently.
While Hellmann’s previous e-commerce solutions have been geared toward B2B and warehousing, the new joint product with SkyNet focuses on cross-border B2C distribution: from pick-up, linehaul, import/export customs clearance and delivery, to returns management and customer service, SkyNet delivers complete cross-border solutions daily in more than 190 countries. This positions both partners as a strong alternative to established providers — not only for global corporations but also for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The new cross-border e-commerce solution will be initially available for shippers based in EU or UK and then rolled out globally.
“Global parcel shipping is our core business. With this partnership, we are combining Hellmann’s infrastructure and market reach with SkyNet’s deep e-commerce expertise to create a true end-to-end solution for merchants of all sizes,” says Tommy Erasmus, Group CEO, SkyNet Worldwide Express.
“Fast cross-border deliveries are essential for sustainable global growth. With SkyNet Worldwide Express as our new partner, we are embarking on an exciting and ambitious journey. Our new cross-border e-commerce solution connects warehouses directly to customers around the world. Together with SkyNet, we combine Hellmann´s global logistics expertise with reliable last-mile delivery in over 190 countries,” adds Martin Habisreitinger, COO Airfreight, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
