Seven Senders, the leading delivery platform to ship parcels in Europe, closes a Series B follow-up round. The lead investor Digital+ Partners, a leading growth equity investor focusing on B2B technology companies, leads the investment round, in which existing investor btov Partners invests as well.

Seven Senders intends to use the fresh capital to promote further growth and international expansion.

For retailers, internationalization presents enormous potential and at the same time a major challenge. Foreign markets are difficult to serve, not only because of the high demands consumers have on professional shipping processing, delivery times and costs. This is exactly where Seven Senders comes in. The delivery platform optimizes the processes during shipping. Seven Senders forms a virtual network of over 100 local premium carriers. The entire network is accessible via one standardized interface. With minimal complexity, the optimal delivery in Europe is ensured for each parcel. This enables each sender to deliver quickly, reliably and inexpensively, adapted to the needs of the end customer. The customer experience is completed by excellent monitoring, tracking and communication during delivery. The fact that the solution is very popular in the market shows the medium 8-digit revenue as well as considerable customers such as Best Secret, EMP, Limango, Thomann, Westwing and SumUp.

Dr. Johannes Plehn from Seven Senders says: “We made major progress in product development over the last 18 months and have completed our platform. We have received excellent market feedback for this. To serve the enormous demand we are consistently investing in growth and internationalization. We are delighted with the confidence placed in us by Digital+ Partners and btov Partners.”

Patrick Beitel from Digital+ Partners says: “Seven Senders is very well positioned as a specialist for crossborder delivery in the highly attractive European parcel market. Above all, the combination of an excellent team with high logistics competence and a mature technology platform convinced us. We are delighted to be on board and to further expand Seven Senders to become the leading platform for parcel delivery in Europe.”

Florian Schweitzer from btov Partners explains, “Seven Senders has managed to grow into an immensely sophisticated parcel logistics business in recent years. The current financing round is, therefore, both a justification for the strong performance of the past years and the conscious decision not to turn to profitability now, but to continue to grow rapidly.”
