MetaPack offers delivery management technology with both consumer-facing and enterprise-facing products: a checkout delivery/options layer for shoppers and back-end tools that price, select carriers and provide analytics for retailers. Its platform includes a large label library and carrier integrations that help retailers export and manage parcel flows globally. The company reports average sales growth of 60% annually over the last four years, serves more than 75% of the UK’s top 100 retailers, and has facilitated about 400 million parcels to date. MetaPack is positioning to expand internationally, pursue acquisitions (starting in Europe) to bolt on local parcel relationships, and to grow its business in markets like China and the U.S. Management plans to invest the new funds in core technology and new products to support trends such as same-day delivery and direct-from-supplier shipments. The company historically supported both brick-and-mortar retailers (e.g., John Lewis) and pure-play e-commerce merchants (e.g., eBay, ASOS). MetaPack was founded in 1999 and is based in London; it is not disclosing current revenue or valuation.
