Deliverea invoices two million with logistics management software

In electronic commerce, the experience of receiving packages or making returns is key to consumer satisfaction. And, as the sector matures, solutions appear on the market that make the whole process more sophisticated.

One of them is offered by Deliverea, a Barcelona startup that has developed logistics management software for companies. In the same application, the company integrates orders from different logistics providers, such as Seur, DHL or UBS. “We simplify the work for retailers so they don't have to work with different suppliers separately. We managed to optimize the delivery and return flows”, says Joan Rovira, founder of the company together with Ramón Pujol.

Together, they created the business in 2015, after gaining experience in the transport sector, in the case of Rovira, and in the technological management of invoices, in the case of Pujol.

Rovira recalls that at first, Deliverea focused its strategy on winning over small businesses, but over the years, it realized that this type of business did not need its technology because the volume of orders was not significant.

Taking advantage of the slowdown that occurred during the pandemic, the company restructured and decided to change the strategy to sell its software to larger companies, which place a minimum of 5,000 orders per month.

Since then, says Rovira, the business has not stopped growing. In 2020, the company billed around 760,000 euros; in 2021, it reached 1.4 million, and in 2022 it expects to reach two million. "Now, we work for companies from different sectors, such as Drim, Codorniu, Torrons Vicens, Indukern, SOS, Pc Componentes or Pikolinos," says the entrepreneur, who employs a team of 29 people in Barcelona. Because of this growth, the company has made the leap into the international market. In August, it landed in Portugal, and in the coming months, it plans to enter France and Italy.

The company finances its expansion with its own resources and venture capital funds. In 2019, it already made a first round of investment worth 200,000 euros in which it gave entry to Zone2boost and Ona Capital, two funds that now hold around 30% ownership of the company. To finance next year's growth, the company wants to open a second round of investment, in which it expects to raise two million euros.
