Dallas, TX— ShipSquared, a rapidly growing third-party logistics (3PL) and fulfillment provider serving mid-market and enterprise ecommerce brands, today announced a series of major milestones marking one of the most pivotal years in the company's history. With two fulfillment centers in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and a third in Shenzhen, China, ShipSquared has emerged as one of the most talked-about names in the Texas fulfillment landscape, building a reputation as a top 3PL in Texas for Shopify brands, Amazon sellers, and direct-to-consumer ecommerce companies shipping between 5,000 and 60,000+ orders per month.
The announcement comes as the U.S. ecommerce market is projected to hit $1.62 trillion in 2026, with the U.S. ecommerce fulfillment market growing at roughly 14% annually through 2030, putting unprecedented pressure on brands to find fulfillment partners that can keep up with their growth.
Steve Zuckerman Joins ShipSquared as Senior Advisor
ShipSquared has brought on Steve Zuckerman, Founder of FourX Ventures and Co-Founder of Vatica Health, as a Senior Advisor to help guide the company's transition from a regional standout into an international enterprise. Zuckerman is widely respected in the private equity and operator community for his track record building category-leading businesses:
- Co-founded Vatica Health, scaling it to a ~$1B+ valuation
- Grew the company to 750+ employees with double-digit profitability
- Led two successful PE exits (2018 and 2023)
- Returned $250M+ to investors at a >10× ROI
"Steve's experience scaling operations, building executive teams, and navigating multiple successful exits is exactly the caliber of leadership we want shaping ShipSquared's next chapter," said Zak Jones, CEO and President of ShipSquared. "We're hiring aggressively, expanding our footprint, and building infrastructure designed to support brands well into nine-figure revenue ranges. Steve helps us think bigger and execute sharper."
Zak Jones Steps into Full-Time CEO Role After Shark Tank Success
Zak Jones has also transitioned into the full-time CEO and President role at ShipSquared after stepping down from day-to-day operations at Permaplug.com, the consumer brand he famously took on ABC's Shark Tank, where he closed an on-air deal with one of the sharks. Jones now serves as an advisor to Permaplug and is dedicating his full attention to ShipSquared's growth alongside Zuckerman and the rest of the leadership team.
"My experience with 3PLs as a brand owner is honestly what built this company," said Jones. "I had terrible experiences with fulfillment partners back when Permaplug was scaling. Most ecommerce brands have no idea how much they're overpaying for genuinely bad service from a partner that's supposed to be one of the most important relationships in their business. The painful part is, they usually don't find out until they hit their stride and their 3PL can't handle the volume, and that's exactly when you need them the most. Don't wait until Q4 to start switching. If you're doing 5,000 to 25,000+ orders a month, let's talk now."
Brent Raymond Drives Robotics and Automation Strategy as COO
Co-Founder and COO Brent Raymond is leading ShipSquared's aggressive investment in warehouse robotics and fulfillment center automation, a strategy designed to drive faster turnaround times, lower per-unit costs, and tighter accuracy for clients. With over 10 years of full-time ecommerce experience, Raymond brings a rare blend of operator and logistics expertise that brands consistently cite as a key reason they choose ShipSquared.
"Our clients don't just want a warehouse, they want a partner that understands ecommerce as well as they do," said Raymond. "Every automation and robotics decision we make is filtered through one question: does this make life better for the brands we serve? Speed, accuracy, and cost are the three things every D2C brand cares about, and that's exactly where we're investing."
AI and Proprietary Technology Reshape the ShipSquared Client Experience
ShipSquared is also doubling down on AI and proprietary software to simplify what has historically been one of the messiest parts of running an ecommerce business: the supply chain. The company is building a unified client portal that consolidates inventory forecasting, freight, FBA prep, fulfillment, and sourcing into a single experience, replacing the patchwork of third-party tools most brands cobble together today.
The company's three core service lines (Fulfillment, Freight, and Sourcing) give brands an end-to-end partner from factory floor to customer doorstep, with full visibility every step of the way.
A Different Kind of 3PL Partner
As one of the fastest-growing fulfillment centers in Texas and a leading choice for Shopify 3PL services, FBA prep in Texas, and direct-to-consumer fulfillment, ShipSquared is positioning itself as the antidote to the bloated, impersonal 3PLs that dominate the industry. Brands across home goods, beauty, supplements, apparel, and consumer electronics are migrating to ShipSquared for one reason: a partner that actually understands their business.
