Building the autonomous logistics infrastructure that will power global commerce for the next 50 years.
"In 1914, Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance became trapped in Antarctic ice. For nearly two years, he led his crew through conditions that should have killed them all. Every man survived."
"In 1577, Francis Drake set sail to circumnavigate the globe—a journey most believed impossible. He returned three years later, having opened trade routes that would shape the modern world."
These explorers shared something beyond courage: they understood that when the map ends, navigation begins.
Today, global logistics faces its own impossible moment. The systems that move $12 trillion in goods annually were designed for a world that no longer exists. They were built when supply chains were linear, disruptions were rare, and "real-time" meant yesterday's spreadsheet.
That world is gone.
Shackleton & Drake was founded on a simple conviction: the logistics industry doesn't need better software—it needs a new foundation. An operating system built from first principles for the AI era. A platform where intelligence isn't bolted on but woven into every layer.
The map has ended. Navigation begins.
Shackleton & Drake develops and licenses cloud-based enterprise software for global supply chain management, logistics optimization, and international trade compliance. Our principal product, DRAKE OS, is an artificial intelligence-powered platform delivered as a service through the Amazon Web Services Marketplace. The platform enables businesses to automate demand forecasting, freight and carrier management, customs classification, regulatory compliance screening, shipment visibility, and supply chain analytics. We generate revenue through recurring software subscription fees based on usage-tiered pricing. All software is deployed within the customer's own cloud infrastructure to ensure data sovereignty and security.
Replace fragmented legacy logistics systems with autonomous infrastructure that thinks, adapts, and optimizes continuously—while ensuring customers own 100% of their data.
A world where supply chains run themselves. Where disruptions are anticipated and resolved before they impact customers. Where logistics is a competitive advantage, not a constraint.
"The impossible is simply the untried."
"Your data. Your advantage. Your control."
"When systems fail, we navigate."
"Simple is the ultimate sophistication."
"Promises kept, results delivered."
We're hiring exceptional people who want to navigate the impossible.
