Shipwire provides a SaaS platform that lets online merchants access and manage inventory across a network of warehouses in the U.S., Canada and Europe to cut shipping costs and delivery times. Its offering includes Shipwire Anywhere, which lets sellers route orders and manage inventory stored in any location (warehouse, garage, office closet, retail store, storage unit). The company charges for label printing and otherwise offers the inventory and order management software as a service. Shipwire is used by customers such as Rovio to ship Angry Birds merchandise. The company says the new funding will be used to expand its global warehouse network into new countries and to fund additional product development. eBay and Newell Rubbermaid joined as strategic investors, and executives from Rubbermaid and eBay joined the advisory board while Ivan Hoffman, former president of FedEx Ground, joined the board of directors.
