In a recent announcement, e-commerce SaaS leader Shopify declared a 20% workforce reduction and the sale of its recently acquired logistics business, Deliverr, to freight service provider Flexport in exchange for a 13% stake in the company. Shopify's Founder and CEO, Tobias Lütke, explained in an open letter that businesses should concentrate on their core mission, as secondary tasks can lead to distractions and inefficiencies.
Lütke's statement highlights a crucial lesson for businesses: the importance of focusing on their primary expertise and letting specialized companies handle other aspects of the operation. This principle is particularly relevant when considering the development of logistics data integration software.

This expertise enables them to develop tailored software solutions that address the specific needs of logistics businesses.
