New York, April 28, 2020 — The winners of Fast Company’s 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards were announced today, honoring the businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to flattening the curve when it comes to the climate crisis, social injustice, or economic inequality.

New York, April 28, 2020 — The winners of Fast Company’s 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards were announced today, honoring the businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to flattening the curve when it comes to the climate crisis, social injustice, or economic inequality.

Cahoot is an eCommerce order fulfillment network that helps online businesses offer nationwide free 1-day and 2-day delivery to its customers at no additional costs. It cuts down the distance packages need to travel by having nearby businesses store and ship products for each other. So instead of flying packages by air long-distance to customers, merchants can ship via economical and greener ground shipping. In 2019 alone, Cahoot has cut down more than 2 million miles of carbon emissions for its network members. Also, Cahoot’s peer-to-peer model allows merchants to offset storage and fulfillment costs by fulfilling orders for each other. Therefore, every merchant on the platform can ship locally and beat fast shipping standards with better margins. This year, Cahoot is awarded Honorable Mentions for The Best World Changing Idea in North America and the Experimental category.

Now in its fourth year, the World Changing Ideas Awards showcase 26 winners, more than 200 finalists, and more than 500 honorable mentions—with Health and Wellness, Corporate Social Responsibility, and AI and Data among the most popular categories. A panel of eminent judges selected winners and finalists from a pool of more than 3,000 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology, and more. The 2020 awards feature entries from across the globe, from Vancouver to Singapore to Tel Aviv.

Illustrating how some of the world’s most inventive entrepreneurs and companies are addressing grave global challenges, Fast Company’s May/June issue celebrates, among others, an electric engine for airplanes that eliminates emissions from flights—and expensive fuel from the tricky financial calculus of the airline industry; a solar-powered refrigerator that finally frees people in remote villages from daily treks to distant markets, transforming the economics of those households; an online marketplace that connects food companies with farms to buy ugly and surplus produce to fight waste; and an initiative to offset all of the carbon costs of shipping, creating a new model for e-commerce sustainability.

Cahoot aims to continue making the world a greener place while leveling the playing field in eCommerce. “The key to sustainable one-day delivery is having fulfillment centers close to customers and shipping them cheaply using ground services,” says Manish Chowdhary, founder and CEO of Cahoot. “It is near impossible for smaller brands to build a distribution network to compete on a level playing field. We need to change the game. We can’t work in siloes building our own facilities trying to compete against Amazon. The only way forward is to work together.”

“There seems no better time to recognize organizations that are using their ingenuity, resources, and, in some cases, their scale to tackle society’s biggest problems,” says Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Our journalists, under the leadership of senior editor Morgan Clendaniel, have uncovered some of the smartest and most inspiring projects of the year.”

About the World Changing Ideas Awards: World Changing Ideas is one of Fast Company’s major annual awards programs and is focused on social good, seeking to elevate finished products and brave concepts that make the world better. A panel of judges from across sectors choose winners, finalists, and honorable mentions based on feasibility and the potential for impact. With a goal of awarding ingenuity and fostering innovation, Fast Company draws attention to ideas with great potential and helps them expand their reach to inspire more people to start working on solving the problems that affect us all.

Cahoot Partners with Walmart Marketplace to Enable Online Retailers to Offer Nationwide 1-Day and 2-Day Delivery

Marketplace Sellers Leverage Peer-to-Peer Fulfillment to Grow Sales with Affordable Nationwide Fast Shipping.

BRIDGEPORT, CT (August 30, 2021) – Cahoot, the world’s first peer-to-peer eCommerce fulfillment network, announced its partnership and integration with Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Cahoot is now a certified shipping and fulfillment solution for Walmart’s marketplace sellers.

Cahoot’s revolutionary peer-to-peer fulfillment model enables brands and online retailers to affordably provide one-day and two-day delivery nationwide. With its rapidly growing network of eCommerce order fulfillment centers coast-to-coast, Cahoot is quickly becoming the fulfillment provider of choice for high-volume sellers on marketplaces such as Walmart, Amazon, and eBay and eCommerce platforms such as Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento.

“We’re excited to integrate with Walmart ahead of the record-breaking holiday season just around the corner,” said Cahoot Founder and CEO Manish Chowdhary. “The industry’s rapid growth has fulfillment capacity bursting at the seams. Our novel peer-to-peer model solves this problem by unlocking thousands of eCommerce merchants’ excess warehouse space and fulfillment capacity. Collectively, the Cahoot network is doing for eCommerce fulfillment what Airbnb did for lodging.”  

A Reliable Solution for Walmart’s Free 2-Day Delivery Program

Cahoot’s Walmart Marketplace Integration enables approved sellers to participate in Walmart’s 2-Day delivery program and display the Free 2-day shipping badge on their marketplace listings. Walmart has observed that sellers with this badge enjoy an up to 50% increase in conversion, making it one of the most powerful ways sellers can grow their sales. To help merchants delight their customers with exceptional delivery experience, Cahoot provides affordable same-day fulfillment 6 to 7 days a week and maintains a strict service level agreement of 99.95% on-time fulfillment and 99.9% order accuracy. 

Flexible Across Channels & Works Seamlessly with In-House Operations

The patented Cahoot eCommerce order fulfillment platform provides eCommerce merchants with unsurpassed ease of use and complete visibility into inventory, orders, fulfillment performance, and package tracking – across all sales channels. Unlike traditional 3PL networks, the Cahoot network can seamlessly integrate with existing merchant fulfillment, which upgrades their strategy without introducing more complexity. With Cahoot, orders automatically flow to the optimal shipping point, whether it’s a Cahoot fulfillment center or the merchant’s own warehouse. 

Cahoot has really helped us grow our multi-channel sales. We use Cahoot to fulfill our Walmart 2-Day orders and our Amazon standard and SFP orders. In addition to saving us money, we really like that their software and their fulfillment network work seamlessly with our own in-house fulfillment operations. Our old 3PL couldn’t do that.

Cahoot Named to Fast Company’s Prestigious List of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2021

BRIDGEPORT, CT (April 14, 2021) – Cahoot, the world’s first peer-to-peer eCommerce fulfillment network, announced that it has been named on the Fast Company’s Prestigious List of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2021. Cahoot enables brands and online retailers to affordably provide one-day and two-day delivery nationwide by storing and fulfilling goods for each other.  

Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies (MIC) list honors the businesses that have not only found a way to be resilient in the past year but also turned those challenges into impact-making processes. These companies did more than just survive; they thrived—making an impact on their industries and culture as a whole. This year’s list features 463 businesses from 29 countries.

“We are honored to be named one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies and recognized for our work. We are enabling businesses of any size to affordably offer their customers the same superfast delivery experience as Amazon” said Manish Chowdhary, Founder and CEO of Cahoot.

Like the Airbnb marketplace of homeowners and travelers, the patented Cahoot fulfillment network brings together the collective power of many SMBs and their warehouses to fulfill orders, thus reducing fulfillment costs and expediting delivery. Cahoot’s optimization algorithm further analyzes all combinations of warehouses, carriers, and shipping services to find the most affordable and efficient way to deliver orders fast.

With consumers flocking to online shopping in 2020 due to COVID, eCommerce grew an unprecedented 44% year-over-year, nearly three times the historical annual growth. At the height of the pandemic, even Amazon’s fulfillment services faltered. Customer orders took almost a month to arrive as warehouses struggled to fulfill orders. Amazon stopped accepting non-essential goods in its warehouses and prioritized its direct sales over those of its marketplace sellers, leaving hundreds of thousands of sellers that rely on its popular fulfillment service (FBA) scrambling for alternatives. Such incidents have caused merchants to always be prepared with a backup provider when they need it.

This eCommerce explosion has led to a shortage in warehouse space, well-priced and available labor, and carrier capacity. Warehouse vacancies reached an all-time low in Q3 2020 while rents were at an all-time high. LinkedIn also reported a surge of 73% job openings for fulfillment workers, the highest among all categories, and wages began creeping up. Moreover, all major carriers, including USPS, increased rates and added surcharges to handle the unprecedented increase in demand. All of this has resulted in much higher operational costs for retailers. And, at a time when most consumers are struggling financially, raising prices is not an option for merchants.

“Traditional solutions do not meet the needs of SMBs – unlike large corporations that have the power to negotiate aggressively with landlords and carriers to stay competitive. With Amazon pushing its popular prime membership program to transition from 2-day free delivery to now 1-day, even the largest retailers are facing logistical challenges. But Cahoot changes all that by intelligently aggregating the power of many,” said Chowdhary.

By unlocking previously unavailable warehouse capacity from tens of thousands of merchants across the U.S., Cahoot is transforming eCommerce fulfillment into a new collaborative model that’s more efficient. Cahoot’s fulfillment model is also environmentally friendly besides scaling up to meet the rising consumer expectations of free and fast delivery. And for the first time, online merchants can monetize their existing warehouse space and labor in a way previously not imagined or possible. “Before Cahoot, we didn’t really know how to leverage our extra space and fulfillment capacity. Becoming a Cahoot Fulfillment Partner has been a great way to make extra money without the hassle of becoming a full 3PL. Onboarding was fast and easy; Cahoot software is so efficient that we pick Cahoot orders before our own!” said Robert Hill, CEO of Seismic Audio Speakers.

With Cahoot, merchants can expand to regions previously too far for fast ground shipping and too expensive for expedited air shipping. “My customers now expect free 1-day and 2-day delivery, which is very expensive and difficult to provide. But with Cahoot, I can now offer 1-day delivery in both the East and the West with ground shipping, in addition to my home state of Kentucky,” said Darren Somerville of Impact Battery.  

By providing fulfillment as a utility-like service as opposed to a competitive advantage previously available only to the largest and highly capitalized corporations, Cahoot aims to fuel even greater innovation – sure to benefit consumers around the world.

“Before Cahoot, we were selling only on Amazon. The inventory restrictions imposed by Amazon FBA were difficult for my business,” said Eli Miller, owner of Twinkle Toy. “Cahoot helped us grow by serving customers nationwide across multiple selling channels, including our own website. It’s a whole new opportunity that I would never have had without Cahoot.”

Cahoot’s shipping volume increased five-fold year-over-year in 2020. Many merchants have found success through Cahoot: 

  • A chocolatier in Brooklyn, NY, added 34% more sales just by outsourcing fulfillment to 2 additional locations.
  • A prominent battery merchant in the Midwest maintained their Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime eligibility by expanding 1-day ground coverage to 45%+ of U.S. consumers.
  • Another merchant selling big, bulky products saved 88% on two-day delivery costs and tripled sales in just three weeks.

Fast Company’s editors and writers sought out the most groundbreaking businesses across the globe and industries. The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides both a snapshot and a road map for the future of innovation across the most dynamic sectors of the economy.  

Cahoot is available for merchants looking to expand their reach for one- and two-day delivery services across all popular selling channels, including Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Shopify, BigCommerce, and more. Merchants can reach a Cahoot fulfillment expert at www.Cahoot.ai

Cahoot has just announced a partnership and integration with Sellercloud so that users of the two solutions can enjoy seamless information sharing and complete data visibility across both platforms. Sellercloud and Cahoot together make multichannel selling easier for merchants by helping brands and retailers convert better by enabling Amazon-like free and fast delivery for shoppers across all channels. With the new native integration, sellers will enjoy powerful listing, products, order and inventory management from Sellercloud along with fast, efficient fulfillment and logistics from Cahoot.

Cahoot Founder and CEO, Manish Chowdhary explained the power of the partnership: “Brands and retailers are finding it increasingly hard to compete and grow profitably on marketplaces because consumers want an Amazon-like experience. However, achieving this is really hard for merchants who operate in slim margins. Together, Cahoot and Sellercloud make the task easier for sellers. With our integration, sellers can now optimize their strategy everywhere they sell, from product listings, pricing, inventory to next-level fulfillment and logistics. Sellers now have all of the data and insights they need to make fast and smart data-driven decisions.

Moving Fulfillment from Cost Center to Profitable Growth Opportunity

Cahoot offers fulfillment services to online sellers who want to turn their operations from a cost center to a profitable growth lever. With its large and rapidly growing network of facilities nationwide, Cahoot is a preferred choice of sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart, and eBay and ecommerce platforms such as Shopify, Magento, and BigCommerce. Cahoot transforms ecommerce order fulfillment from a headache into a fast, reliable, and affordable growth lever. Merchants win more customers with fast shipping, all while paying less for fulfillment thanks to Cahoot’s patented business model and innovative technology.

Sellercloud is always looking for ways to help our sellers improve their customer experience, so we’re excited to partner with Cahoot. Cahoot’s innovative technology and proven ability to power affordable, fast fulfillment across all channels will help our sellers grow faster.” said Shelly Boisvert, VAR Partner Development Manager of Sellercloud

Sellercloud’s mission is to provide merchants with tools that empower them to compete and win in today’s highly competitive landscape. Its products span a comprehensive range of features to help multi-channel sellers manage their ecommerce business in one streamlined and powerful tool. With Sellercloud, merchants can consolidate catalog and inventory management, push changes from one place out to multiple channels, make smarter purchasing decisions, and more.

Growing Fearlessly Without Adding Complexity

Sellers that enjoy success on one channel often find themselves challenged to replicate that success on new ones due to the exponential increase in business complexity. Solutions like Cahoot and Sellercloud are designed to keep the back-office simple so merchants can easily expand and grow on new sales channels.

For most sellers, adding channels increases managerial complexity and puts additional strain on operations. Unlike other fulfillment providers, Cahoot is built specifically to enable sellers to scale fearlessly across channels as diverse as Seller Fulfilled Prime and B2B retail replenishment. No other 3PL can handle such a wide variety of use cases or do so at the high level that Cahoot does.

Sellercloud and Cahoot teamed up to enable a joint customer, Healthyline, to exploit many growth opportunities at once without being overwhelmed.

We have ambitious growth goals for our own DTC site and in physical retail all at the same time. Using Cahoot and Sellercloud together gives us a powerful solution for managing all our channels” said Kristof Hommonai of Healthyline. He continued, “Before Cahoot, we were considering signing contracts with multiple 3PLs to put together a comprehensive nationwide solution for Amazon SFP. It was extremely complicated, expensive and we would have had to still find new technology to glue them all together. Consolidating with Cahoot helped us grow triple digits last holiday season and they’ve saved us money. We are now ready to offer the same Prime-like guaranteed fast delivery on all our channels.”

Cahoot is available for merchants looking to increase their online sales with affordable, fast delivery services across all popular selling channels, including Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Shopify, BigCommerce, and more.

Shipsurance Partners with Cahoot to Offer Discounted Shipping Insurance to eCommerce Merchants

In this article

WOODLAND HILLS, CA (June 9, 2021) –

The Cahoot eCommerce fulfillment network has announced a partnership with the Shipsurance by Assurant (NYSE: AIZ) to offer discounted all-risk shipping insurance to merchants who use the Cahoot platform. With Shipsurance, Cahoot merchant partners have full, integrated access to insure their parcels for loss and damage while in transit.

Cahoot is the world’s first peer-to-peer eCommerce order fulfillment network. It enables online retailers and brands to affordably provide one- and two-day delivery nationwide by storing and shipping merchandise for each other. With its rapidly growing network of over one hundred eCommerce merchants coast-to-coast, Cahoot is quickly becoming the fulfillment choice of high-volume sellers on ecommerce platforms such as Shopify, Magento, and BigCommerce and marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart, and eBay.

Shipsurance provides small to medium-sized businesses and enterprise eCommerce shippers alike with low-cost shipping insurance for packages shipped with major US and International carriers such as FedEx, USPS, DHL, and UPS. Shipsurance provides all-risk insurance with fast and easy claims processing, making it an affordable and convenient alternative to the declared value coverage offered by carriers. 

Merchants who work with Cahoot now have access to worldwide shipping insurance powered by Shipsurance. Offering package protection to all Cahoot merchants adds another layer of protection to the fulfillment process. It can also save shippers thousands of dollars in shipping fees when compared to the carriers’ offerings. The shipping carriers offer declared value protection that is often costly, and the coverage is contingent on proving they are at fault if a package is lost or damaged. The insurance product offered through Cahoot provides coverage for packages in transit, often at a fraction of what the carriers charge. Shipping claims are typically paid within a week with multiple payment options, in sharp contrast to declared value claims with carriers that can take months.

Some of the benefits of using Cahoot’s insurance offering are:

  • Low-Cost Coverage  – Save up to 90% over the carrier declared value costs 
  • Broader Coverage – Coverage is all-risk with easy-to-read and understand coverage rules with clear and concise coverage terms
  • Actual Insurance – This is not declared value coverage and does not require proof of negligence
  • Paperless Claims – The claims process usually takes less than one week. A personal claims agent is available to you that is courteous and helpful throughout the process

“Our novel business model and patented software enable Cahoot to offer the highest fulfillment standards in the industry at drastically lower pricing. Partnering with Shipsurance to reduce the cost of insuring packages during transit helps make our service even better and more affordable,” said Cahoot Founder and CEO Manish Chowdhary.

Shipsurance’s all-risk coverage is broader and more robust than declared value coverage. For example, Shipsurance covers a lost package even if the carrier generated a delivery scan if it was mis-delivered. The declared value coverage provided by carriers does not. Shipsurance covers a situation where a package was delivered to the incorrect address. 

“Fast and free shipping is essential to delivering a great customer experience. However, most importantly, the buyer must receive their items in good order. Shipsurance’s coverage, rapid-claims processing, and dedicated claims agent bridge this gap – making it a great addition to Cahoot’s fulfillment services,” states Ariel Shmorak, Vice President of Operations for Shipsurance.  

Shipsurance is available for all merchants using the Cahoot platform. It’s an excellent combination for merchants looking to expand their reach for one- and two-day delivery services and lower shipping insurance costs. Merchants that signup for Shipsurance via Cahoot by September 15th, 2021, can enjoy an additional 10% discount over the already low rates. Merchants can reach a Cahoot fulfillment expert at www.Cahoot.ai

ABOUT SHIPSURANCE BY ASSURANT
Shipsurance Insurance Services, Inc., an Assurant, Inc. company (NYSE: AIZ), is a shipping insurance provider that offers all-risk shipping coverage for shipments sent via the major shipping carriers at rates often more than 90% less than the carrier rates. Shipsurance provides rapid, online claims processing, with most claims paid within a week. Shipsurance has been insuring eCommerce businesses for over eighteen years, and coverage is underwritten by an ‘A’-rated insurance company.
