In this episode of Software Spotlight, we sit down with Bill Carlin, CMO of Racklify and COO of Shipmate Fulfillment. After a decade of running a successful third-party logistics company, Bill identified a critical gap in how warehouses and merchants connect. This insight led him to launch Racklify, a groundbreaking marketplace platform that has already attracted 3,000 warehouses since its beta launch in July 2024.

Bill shares how his platform is transforming the traditional consultant-driven warehouse selection process into a streamlined, technology-enabled marketplace. With 40% of traffic coming from international clients, Racklify is addressing the evolving needs of global commerce while helping specialty warehouses connect with merchants who have unique requirements like hazmat storage, cold chain logistics, and light manufacturing.
