Shipium, the leading Shipping AI platform for modern operators, today announced a partnership with International Bridge (IB), a logistics provider with over 20 years of dedicated expertise in shipping to non-continental U.S. destinations. Through this partnership, IB’s flagship service, IB Non-Con, is available to Shipium customers, bringing 2 – 5-day delivery to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories.
International Bridge has spent more than two decades building dedicated logistics infrastructure for the destinations most carriers treat as an afterthought. IB Non-Con is a zone-skipping air network with on-the-ground presence at every destination – including all major Hawaiian Islands, Anchorage and Juneau in Alaska, and San Juan and surrounding facilities in Puerto Rico. The service consistently delivers parcels in 2-5 days at approximately 30% savings versus standard carrier rates, with bilingual customer support and full accountability through every stage of the journey.
Shipium provides the system-of-record for shipping data within enterprise supply chains, serving brands, retailers, and logistics service providers who need fast, affordable, and on-time delivery. As enterprise shippers look to expand reach into underserved markets, the ability to add a specialized non-continental partner directly into a single platform is becoming a competitive necessity. With this integration, Shipium customers can route eligible orders to IB Non-Con through the same workflow they use for mainland shipments – no separate operations, no zone surcharge surprises.
Together, the two companies are addressing a commonly overlooked opportunity. More than 5 million U.S. residents in Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico depend on e-commerce for everyday goods, yet most mainland retailers either exclude these destinations or surcharge them out of viability. The combination of IB’s purpose-built infrastructure and Shipium’s optimization platform makes serving these customers reliably and profitably feasible at enterprise scale.
“Non-continental shipping has been an afterthought in this industry for too long, and the result is millions of customers who deserve better service,” said Shoshana Grove, CEO at International Bridge. “Shipium’s platform is the right place for IB Non-Con to reach modern shippers. Their customers can plug into our network in days, not quarters, and start serving Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico with the same reliability they expect on the mainland.”
“International Bridge has built something genuinely rare – twenty years of operational expertise on the routes that everyone else treats as edge cases,” said Jason Murray, Co-founder and CEO of Shipium. “Adding IB Non-Con to our pre-integrated carrier network gives our customers a credible, fast, and cost-effective option for destinations that have historically forced them to either absorb the cost or skip the order entirely. We’re proud to partner with IB.”
