FarEye raises $100m to expand delivery management platform
Global delivery management platform FarEye has raised US$100 million to accelerate its technology development and expand its international activities.
The Series E round was led by TCV and Dragoneer Investment Group. Existing investors Eight Roads Ventures, Fundamentum and Honeywell also participated in the round.
Founded in 2013, FarEye is addressing a multi-billion dollar delivery management market that continues to show double digit year on year growth. The company’s growth has accelerated over the last 12 months with particularly strong traction in Europe and North America. These markets collectively comprise over half of revenues and have grown nearly three times in the same period.
FarEye said the funds will be used to accelerate its mission of empowering brands to provide Amazon Prime-like delivery experiences and redefining how products are delivered across diverse logistics networks. The company will further focus on expanding its software platform capabilities, drive European and North American expansion, and continue to attract world-class talent.
“We are very proud to have TCV and Dragoneer join our established investors to support our progress in becoming a global leader in delivery management,” said Kushal Nahata, CEO and co-founder.
“The growth and the digital transformation in the logistics sector has created an opportunity for software platforms like FarEye to provide a superior customer experience. Our ambition is to enable thousands of businesses to provide Amazon-Prime-like delivery experience, and we aim to drive innovations that re-imagine how deliveries are being managed globally,” he added.
