ShipAlberta launches to simplify shipping for Alberta businesses

Alberta businesses now have a streamlined solution for their shipping needs with the official launch of ShipAlberta, a platform designed to help businesses expand, export and compete globally.

A collaboration between Edmonton International Airport (YEG), Edmonton Global, Port Alberta and Machool Technologies, ShipAlberta offers businesses a cost-effective shipping solution. The platform connects users with trusted couriers and provides competitive rates, alongside seamless tools to automate shipping processes.

Historically, small and medium-sized enterprises in Alberta faced challenges accessing reliable and affordable shipping options, hindering their ability to expand into national and international markets. ShipAlberta addresses these issues by simplifying logistics and offering a user-friendly interface to reduce costs and complexity.

“Businesses and retailers are the driving force behind Alberta’s economic growth. YEG is proud to be a partner in bringing ShipAlberta to the market with its innovative and cost-effective solution for businesses to ship products to their customers seamlessly,” said Myron Keehn, president and CEO of Edmonton International Airport.

The initiative is expected to boost Alberta’s position as a logistics hub, attract more retailers, and strengthen the province’s access to global markets.

“This is a testament to what regional collaboration can achieve,” said Malcolm Bruce, CEO of Edmonton Global. “By leveraging the unique strengths of Port Alberta, we are creating a transformative shipping solution that enables Alberta-based companies to take their products across the region, the country and the world.”

Kamyar Asadibeiky, CEO of Machool Technologies, added, “ShipAlberta harnesses our technology and platform to move beyond the traditional ‘more volume, better rates’ model, delivering seamless and cost-effective shipping for every user.”
