Singapore-based logistics company Amilo has completed and integrated its fourth acquisition in four years, folding cross-border specialist SG Link into its regional network under the ShipX brand.
The company said ShipX connects Southeast Asian merchants with buyers in more than 220 destinations and adds a cross-border layer to Amilo’s existing warehousing, fulfillment, transport, customs and delivery operations.
The transaction is part of a strategy in which Amilo acquires regional logistics or technology businesses and migrates them onto a common operating and software stack rather than allowing each acquisition to continue on separate systems.
SG Link now operates as ShipX
SG Link has operated in Vietnam since 2020, according to Amilo. Under the ShipX brand, it handles cross-border logistics for merchants that may not have enough shipment volume to negotiate large-enterprise freight rates on their own.
The model pools volume and brings customs documentation, duties and shipment tracking into one service. Amilo said the operation is intended to help smaller Southeast Asian merchants reach overseas buyers without building their own international logistics infrastructure.
Amilo founder and CEO Arun Mambully said the SG Link team’s knowledge of cross-border processes is now part of the company’s strategy to help ASEAN small and medium-sized businesses sell globally. He also said the combined teams delivered positive growth in the first half of 2026 despite fuel-price and tariff pressure. The company did not disclose revenue or shipment volumes in the supplied announcement.
Acquisitions are being moved onto one technology stack
Amilo said its acquisition strategy focuses on businesses that already have a useful customer base, license, shipping lane or operational capability. It then moves those businesses onto a common platform covering marketplaces, order management, warehouse management, transport, customs and delivery management.
Head of Finance Chris Revord said Amilo has now used the acquisition, integration and turnaround playbook four times in four years.
The company argues that a common destination architecture can make each integration faster because teams are not deciding from scratch how systems should connect after every deal. It also creates a single operational data layer that Amilo wants to use more heavily for automation and AI.
Amilo plans to add AI to logistics decisions
Amilo said its next phase will involve heavier use of AI across merchant and internal workflows, including decisions and agents along the commerce and distribution value chain.
The company is taking the position that AI should sit on top of stable operations rather than be used to automate processes that are still fragmented. That is a practical constraint in logistics, where software output eventually has to match physical inventory, customs documents, carrier handoffs and delivery events.
Amilo also expects future acquisitions to be integrated more quickly as more migration work becomes automated.
The company did not identify its next acquisition targets or disclose the financial terms of the SG Link deal in the supplied material. Its broader test will be whether a common technology stack can produce measurable operating gains as the network grows, rather than simply making the group larger through repeated acquisitions.
Amilo’s platform integrates with marketplaces and commerce platforms including Amazon, eBay and Shopify. The addition of ShipX gives it a cross-border service intended to connect those merchants with destinations beyond Southeast Asia while keeping more of the fulfillment and logistics chain inside one system.
