Scaling Deftship from MVP to 2M+ shipments a year

Scaling Deftship from MVP to 2M+ shipments a year

Project overview

Kodeas is the core engineering team behind Deftship, a US-based multi-carrier shipping platform that now processes over 2 million shipments a year for merchants across North America. Bertug is the founding CTO. The platform compares rates across 50+ carriers including UPS, DHL, FedEx, and USPS, prints labels, automates fulfilment, and connects directly to Shopify, Amazon, eBay, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, Walmart, Square, Wix, and Zapier.

Kodeas built the platform and still runs the engineering today. That's why this case study can show the work in the depth it does.

Execution

Deftship grew the way real businesses grow, by solving each problem as it arrived. We launched fast to prove the idea, then kept it running flawlessly as more and more merchants came on board, adding new carriers and sales channels without ever disrupting the people already relying on it.

Today it is the shipping engine behind millions of orders, quietly doing the heavy lifting so merchants can print a label and get back to selling. The biggest wins:

  • One place to ship everything. 100+ carrier services and every major online store, from Shopify and Amazon to Walmart, connected and ready out of the box.
  • Unshakeable at any scale. Deftship doesn't blink on Black Friday, through carrier outages, or sudden surges in orders.
  • Shipping that runs itself. Merchants set their own rules and let the platform pick carriers, package, and route automatically, with no technical know-how required.

Project results

Deftship has been live for eight years and now processes more than 2 million shipments a year for merchants across the US and Canada. It has grown from a simple first version into a dependable platform that works with every major online store.

For Kodeas, Deftship is the project that proves we don't just build and hand over. We build, scale, and stay, and the products we work on are still running years later, in front of real customers every day.
