Documented cause
ShipItWise failed because large freight forwarders refused to adopt their transparent pricing model, which would expose their unfair profit margins charged to smaller businesses compared to corporate clients. Additionally, the logistics industry's traditional culture and resistance to digitalization meant transportation companies lacked incentive to adopt the technology and feared profit loss rather than recognizing cost savings.
