How a patient-first team scaled shipping volume by over 65% after making the switch
Meds.com is a fast-growing digital pharmacy platform fulfilling high-volume prescriptions and healthcare products each month. As orders grew, maintaining internal shipping integration development became an engineering burden, diverting focus from patient care.
The Meds.com team needed a partner who could handle logistics at scale while empowering them to stay focused on their mission.
Meds.com adopted ShipWise, an API-first, enterprise-grade shipping platform that automated fulfillment workflows, unified carrier integrations, and restored engineering focus to product innovation.
Together, Meds.com and ShipWise implemented a high-volume logistics stack designed for reliability, visibility, and speed - all without adding internal technical debt.
“ShipWise delivers both operational efficiency and peace of mind. It’s become a core part of our logistics infrastructure, enabling us to scale confidently while ensuring a seamless experience for our customers.”

By choosing ShipWise over building in-house, Meds.com transformed shipping from a maintenance-heavy burden into a scalable advantage, freeing their team to focus on innovation and patient experience.
