At Vaidava Ceramics, every piece tells a story—handcrafted artistry that celebrates life’s beautiful moments. Nestled near Latvia’s scenic Gauja National Park and rooted in tradition, their work draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape and cultural heritage, shaping it through the timeless medium of clay.
Vaidava Ceramics also creates strong online experiences, bringing the same care, atmosphere, and authenticity of their studio into every online touchpoint. Maintaining this type of presence takes time for creativity, and a reliable shipping foundation that saves resources was exactly what they needed.
Swotzy introduced Vaidava Ceramics to its shipping platform in 2024, and since then, the team has fully embraced their new approach to logistics.
Their clear product vision established the brand as a masterful blend of tradition and modern design, captivating customers both locally and across Europe.
Among their collections, two particular product collections sparked the greatest customer interest.
“Our biggest growth leap came when we introduced Eclipse and Eclipse Gold products. This marked a turning point, making the brand more visible, competitive, and appealing to new markets.” — Aiga Kampenuss, Marketing Project Manager
As the brand grew and while the team excelled at their craft, their shipping processes were fragmented and manual. Preparing shipments meant repeated data entry. Comparing courier prices took 30 hours each month. Additionally, managing multiple carriers without a central system resulted in inefficiencies.
They needed a scalable solution that would simplify shipping, automate tedious tasks, and give them the flexibility to choose the most suitable carriers for each type of delivery.
After carefully evaluating their options, Vaidava Ceramics chose Swotzy as their go-to shipping solution to tackle their challenges and fuel sustainable growth.
Swotzy checked all the boxes: access to multiple carriers without contract management, automation of manual delivery tasks, and competitive shipping rates—all integrated to speed up order management and keep things running smoothly.
The key capabilities Swotzy offered:
Together, these features made Swotzy an invaluable, practical partner for Vaidava Ceramics, proving its worth not just on paper but through daily operational efficiency.
“Of course, when we first started using the Swotzy platform, we were quite skeptical—wondering if everything would really be as good as advertised. But after several months of comparing prices between Swotzy and other courier delivery platforms, we concluded that yes, Swotzy offers the most advantageous courier service options specifically for small parcel shipments. Whenever we encountered any issues, like a courier not arriving on the scheduled day or a damaged shipment, we received quick and human responses from the team. All of this together made us choose to continue using the Swotzy platform.” — Aiga Kampenuss, Marketing Project Manager
What they appreciate most about Swotzy is the significant reduction in time spent managing shipments and comparing carrier rates.
Shipping, once a time-consuming daily chore, has now become a straightforward process—freeing the team to pour their energy into their brand.
By adopting Swotzy’s Shopify integration, automated label generation, and Parcel Locker Finder, the brand significantly reduced manual logistics work.
The platform’s real-time rate comparison and flexible carrier options helped Vaidava Ceramics control shipping costs and offer more expanded delivery services to their customers.
Swotzy’s intuitive platform and responsive support empowered their small team to focus more on products instead of logistics.
Shipping became simpler—without sacrificing flexibility or quality.
“Swotzy made shipping much more manageable for us.” Says Aiga. “Everything is in one place, and we can easily choose the best delivery option for each order without extra work.”
As Vaidava Ceramics plan to expand across European markets, Swotzy remains an indispensable partner, keeping the doors open with scalable shipping solutions. “We aim to launch new product lines, develop fresh collections, and explore export markets beginning with Europe and gradually expanding worldwide.” Says Aiga Kampenuss.
Sustainability is also a core part of their future strategy. “In 2025, we achieved both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. While our operations are already environmentally conscious, we’re committed to continuously improving and promoting sustainable practices.”
With less focus on logistics, the Vaidava Ceramics team now dedicates more resources to strengthening their organizational culture and building a resilient brand that truly resonates across the board.
Their advice to other e-commerce businesses aiming for growth:
"Always strive for continuous improvement—not only through creating new products and services but also by enhancing daily business processes, fostering better collaboration among colleagues, and implementing necessary workplace improvements. Small steps taken consistently lead to visible and tangible results over time."
