Already a key player in France, Shippingbo, the Toulouse-based e-commerce logistics scale-up, opens up its capital to Main Capital Partners. This investment marks a key step in the company’s bid to become a global benchmark in unified logistics software.

A strategic partnership for seamless growth

Main Capital Partners joins Shippingbo with a clear objective: to accelerate the company’s growth while consolidating its unique technological positioning on the market.

This partnership marks a new stage in Shippingbo’s ambition to become the technological reference for omnichannel logistics in Europe. Contrary to short-term approaches, Main Capital Partners invests exclusively in high-performance software publishers in order to build robust, complementary software ecosystems over the long term.

“This partnership will enable us to pursue our rapid growth trajectory seamlessly, by providing us with new resources to realize this vision on a European and global scale. In a rapidly evolving ecosystem, we will be able to accelerate even further by deploying, in addition to our R&D, a strategy of consolidation around our Platform. Our aim is to respond ever more effectively to the needs of our different market segments – Small, Medium and Large Enterprises – in their national, European and international logistics challenges.” – Romain Parent, Shippingbo General Manager & CSO

Unchanged course: performance, reliability and a European vision

Since its creation in 2016, Shippingbo has been helping e-commerce professionals optimize their logistics thanks to its integrated SaaS platform(OMS, WMS, TMS). This new support will enable the company:

  • strengthen its capacity for innovation, with ever more effective functionalities to simplify omnichannel logistics, in particular by accelerating the development of artificial intelligence bricks, already underway with modules such as Smart Procurement or conversational AI;
  • accelerate its international development;
  • launch a targeted acquisition strategy to expand its technological ecosystem and better meet the expectations of its customers and partner network;
  • to continue structuring its go-to-market around a network of certified integrator partners, and to respond ever more effectively to the expectations of its users, whatever their size or geographical area, in terms of support and proximity.

“Shippingbo’s DNA remains unchanged. We remain focused on innovation, performance and customer satisfaction, to offer every company simple, agile and perfectly controlled logistics.” – Marc Hericher, Founder and CEO of Shippingbo

A clear vision: to become the benchmark technology for connected retail logistics

Logistics has become a strategic competitive lever in e-commerce. Shippingbo is the technological benchmark for centralizing, automating and connecting all operations: order preparation, inventory management, shipping, returns, customer notifications…

But faced with the new challenges of omnichannel commerce, warehouse excellence is no longer enough. It has become essential to adopt an omnilogistics approach, capable of connecting and supervising all points of storage: in-house warehouses, stores, logistics service providers, fulfillment centers for marketplaces and supplier stocks.

Retailers need to be able to continuously broadcast their stock levels to all sales channels and orchestrate each shipment in real time, using the right stock, the right carrier and the right channel. The aim is to guarantee customer satisfaction, while controlling costs and reducing environmental impact.

This is precisely Shippingbo’s mission: to offer a unified logistics technology solution, connected in real time to hundreds of CMSs, marketplaces, logisticians and carriers. Already adopted by more than 1,000 customers in France and used in several European countries, the platform is already demonstrating a dynamic international expansion.

The arrival of Main Capital will enable Shippingbo to accelerate its expansion, while cultivating a close relationship with its customers and supporting them in their national, European and international logistics challenges.

A reaffirmed promise: stability, innovation and support

Thanks to the investment by Main Capital Partners, Shippingbo has reaffirmed its position as a trusted third party for all players in the e-commerce chain: e-merchants, marketplaces, carriers, logisticians, retailers and manufacturers.

The founding team remains fully involved in the governance and strategic direction of the company, and will now be able to rely on a Financial Partner with extensive experience in the software sector. This transaction reflects a shared long-term vision and commitment to pursuing the current strategy.

This new chapter continues the values of transparency, innovation and reliability that have contributed to Shippingbo’s success since the company was founded.

A deal that reflects changes in the logistics market

Main Capital Partners’ acquisition of a stake in Shippingbo comes at a time of profound transformation in the logistics sector. Today, companies are seeking to manage complex omnichannel operations while guaranteeing efficiency, visibility and responsiveness.

In this context, the transaction marks a strategic step towards the consolidation of the European technological landscape. Shippingbo intends to capitalize on this investment to accelerate its development, while preserving the balance between continuous innovation and operational stability.
