The Story

From fragmented carriers across 4 warehouses to scalable European logistics

Founded in 2005, Gorilla Sports has grown into one of Europe's most recognised home fitness brands, selling gym equipment for home training across the continent. With more than €40 million in annual revenues and operations spanning 4 warehouse locations, the company faces the unique challenge of shipping bulky, heavy products to more than 25 countries while managing 15 different carriers.

Before ShippyPro, operations were highly fragmented: larger warehouses relied on unstable legacy integrations, while smaller ones depended on manual and email-based processes — including manually copy-pasting data into carrier software to create hundreds of labels a day. This approach was slowing growth and limiting scalability.

The ShippyPro partnership began with a pilot in Romania, immediately eliminating hundreds of hours of manual data entry per week. The success of the Romania pilot paved the way for a structured European rollout: Spain went live just before peak season 2025, followed by the two main logistics hubs in Switzerland and Germany in Q1 2026 — all within less than 6 months.

This is how logistics became a growth engine, not a bottleneck.

Before ShippyPro, some locations relied on manually copy-pasting data into carrier software to create labels. Not speaking about a few orders a day — but hundreds. Now it is just working at their fingertips, and efficiency has peaked.
