Founded in 2018, Bigblue's platform allows e-commerce businesses with a minimum of 150 parcels sent per month to access a network of French warehouses to manage their order shipments. Bigblue offers an end-to-end solution, meaning that it manages every aspect of the logistics process, from choosing the best transport solution based on weight and delivery location to communicating with customers on behalf of the brand.
In 2020, Bigblue benefited greatly from the COVID-19 pandemic, as many physical retailers shifted their focus to online sales. The start-up now works with over 15 carriers, including Colissimo, Colis Privé, Chronopost, and DHL, to ship packages both domestically and internationally. With this funding, Bigblue plans to expand its warehouse network and improve its platform's customer experience and communication tools.
