Small businesses in the US have grown tremendously over the years, and for those who operate one of these businesses, one of the major concerns is shipping cost. There are many options to choose from but one might not have to take the time to shop and compare rates. To capitalize on this need, William Wyck, President & CEO of RedRoller Holdings, Inc., has created a one stop shop to facilitate small business owners.
RedRoller Holdings, Inc., formerly Aslahan Enterprises Ltd, simplifies shipping packages for small businesses. Established in 2004, RedRoller’s easy-to-use, Web-based service provides real-time comparisons across multiple carriers, allowing small business and home office communities to conveniently select shipping services that meet their needs. RedRoller takes care of creating the shipment with selected carriers, generating authorized shipping labels and arranging for pick-up or locating at the nearest drop off location, saving small businesses time and money. The company offers its customers an average of 30% savings on shipping cost, and best of all, it’s free.
In recent events, RedRoller completed a $6 million private placement of common stock and warrants to a group of institutional and private investors. The company plans to use the funds to strengthen its corporate infrastructure and product offerings. Earlier this year the company also announced that Integrated Corporate Relations, Inc. (ICR), a leading financial communications consulting firm specializing in investor relations and corporate communications, has been appointed as RedRoller’s investor relations firm. ICR was recently named one of the top-15 independent public relations and investor relations firms by PR Week.
While RedRoller Holdings is among the first to offer such services in the shipping industry, the Company is in a development stage and there are a few factors that may affect the company’s growth. One of which includes small business contracts. Small business can obtain discounts by utilizing only one company for its shipping needs. RedRoller Holdings currently only offers prices from two carriers, USPS and DHL while one of its competitors Shipping Sidekick allows you to instantly compare shipping rates from the four major U.S. carriers including USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL.
