Sendcloud
All-in-one shipping platform for online shops
Sendcloud is a Dutch shipping software that connects web shops (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and others) to 80+ carriers to print labels, offer checkout delivery options, track parcels and handle returns. Over 23,000 European merchants use it. SoftBank Vision Fund 2 led a €150M Series C in 2021, and the company acquired AI start-up Tracey in 2023.
