One of the leading European booking engines for ordering shipping services of various items has officially launched today in the Irish market.

Ireland is the 30th market that the company has launched in since its successful launch in 2014 which has seen the company experience year on year growth of 400%.

Through negotiated partnerships with all major European couriers, Eurosender, offers consumers and SME’s lower prices by leveraging its high volume of shipments, allowing it to negotiate affordable shipping prices.

Since its launch three years ago, the company has become a rapidly expanding booking engine, specialized for shipping various items such as freight transport, luggage, packages, parcels, sporting equipment and more throughout the EU. The company’s expansion plans will, in addition, see them move towards cargo and containers in the short-term.

The company was founded by 25 year old Slovenian entrepreneur Tim Potočnik who, after living abroad in Poland found himself unhappy with the limited and expensive options available to European citizens by courier companies. Traditional methods involved a lengthy process of calculating the final price, multiple phone calls, and a lack of transparency which translated into high costs and increased efficiencies. He decided to create a start-up that would make the shipping industry more accessible and customer oriented.

Speaking today, Founder and CEO, Tim Potočnik said, "Our decision to formally launch in Ireland is demand-led. We have seen a steady increase in the number of traffic to and from Ireland. Thanks to the high number of expats living here, the volume of shipments has been in continuous growth over the past few months."

He added, "We're just getting started with marketing activities in Ireland, and we have already registered several hundred companies that use our delivery service on a daily basis. The most popular routes for Irish companies are to and from Sweden, Germany and Portugal, followed by the UK."
