Timm Trede

Founder / CEO

Hi, I’m Timm. I founded zipmend in 2015. Prior to that, I spent 10 years working as a consultant for logistics companies. I obtained my diploma in business administration at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. I am happy whenever we are able to help our customers in tricky situations. In my spare time, I like to watch basketball, jog and expand my vodka collection.

Andrew Byrne

Head of Dispatch

Hello, my name is Andrew. I’m originally from the UK and have a bachelor’s degree in Germanic studies. I am a dispatcher out of passion and always have on ear on the phone – maybe we will talk to each other soon. In my free time, I take flying lessons and fly through the air on small-engined aircraft. My goal is to obtain a pilot’s license and later maybe my own small plane.

How it began and how it's going

Early 2016

In Timm's living room, zipmend was startet with 3 interns on board. The initial focus was on developing the price calculator and the online booking process, with the goal to offer customers a quick and easy solution to shipping problems in stressful situations. After around a year of development, the software was ready for live operation and zipmend.com went live.

Winter 2017

4 employees moved into the first real office in Hamburg. The software was expanded with an interface for transport partners and different vehicle categories were implemented. Handling the transport orders got much easier for our dispatchers and customers.

October 2020

Almost 3 years later, zipmend moved to a larger location. The dispatchers were happy to receive a technical upgrade and we rebuilt our interface using Vue.js. Additionally, the team grew to 22 employees. Alongside the German market, we started to prepare our launch in Franche, Belgium and the Netherlands.

January 2022

zipmend continued to expand: Our team moved to the third floor to have more space for new employees. Several months later, the team grew to 37 employees. We started to implement even more modern tools to make our processes more efficient. We are now working diligently to transform zipmend into the largest digital player in the express delivery market.
