Stamford, Conn. – Pitney Bowes Inc., a global technology company that provides commerce solutions in the areas of shipping and mailing, data, ecommerce, and financing, and Easyship, a leader in global ecommerce shipping, have partnered to provide merchants with seamless access to a host of tools and technology that better enable domestic and cross-border commerce. The Pitney Bowes Carrier Connect platform (formerly shipping APIs) is available immediately for Easyship customers and no downtime is required for software updates. Merchants are able to ship worldwide in minutes by leveraging Easyship’s platform.

“Easyship has long made it the top priority to put customers first and address their biggest challenges with best-in-class technology,” said Augustin Ceyrac, Co-founder, Easyship. “For many small and medium-sized businesses, disconnected systems, manual processes, inefficient operations, and high shipping costs are among the top barriers to profitable growth.
