Amilo has finalized its fourth acquisition within four years, incorporating Vietnam-based cross-border specialist SG Link into its operations. SG Link, now operating under the name ShipX, connects merchants to over 220 destinations and consolidates shipment volumes, enabling smaller exporters to access freight rates typically reserved for larger players.
This acquisition highlights Amilo's strategy of purchasing operators with licenses, trade lanes, or specialist capabilities, then integrating them onto a unified technology platform rather than allowing them to operate independently. CEO Arun Mambully asserts that artificial intelligence will be layered onto this standardized foundation to optimize routing, customs procedures, and customer support.
Although Amilo faces competition from Ninja Van, J&T Express, and global entities like DHL, the company believes that owning the entire supply chain, from warehousing to cross-border shipping, is more advantageous than renting individual components.
