Eurosender is an online platform for booking door-to-door logistics services in Europe.[1] It provides postal, courier and freight forwarding services. The company was founded in 2014 by Slovenian entrepreneurs Tim Potočnik and Jan Štefe.[2]
Services
Eurosender developed a system that automatically calculates final prices for every individual shipping route. They act as a bulk buyer that aggregates demand from businesses and end-consumers and are able to negotiate lower prices with the logistics service providers.[3] Since its start, Eurosender has partnered with many major European couriers, including DHL, DPD, GLS and Kuehne, and Nagel.[4]
The company increased revenue by 200 percent in 2017.[5]
Partnerships
In May 2016, German multinational insurance group ERGO Group invested 300,000 EUR in Eurosender while becoming an integrated provider of package insurance for deliveries processed through the platform.[6]
In September 2017, Eurosender announced a partnership with Parcelly, a London-based service for collecting parcels.[7]
In December, the company partnered with Post Luxembourg, a Luxembourgish telecom and postal provider.[8]
