Delivery and fulfillment cloud platform provider Bringg has closed a $100 million Series E investment, bringing the company’s market valuation to $1 billion, the company said today.


Bringg will use the funding for merger and acquisition (M&A) growth and to build its network of strategic and technology partners, the company said. Overall, the funding will boost the company’s ability to meet growing demand for delivery and fulfillment technology, which has accelerated during the pandemic. Company leaders said demand for Bringg’s platform has soared in the last 18 months, with 180% year-over-year new customer growth.

“There’s no question that technology and innovation were necessary to help keep the world moving forward during an incredibly challenging time, and we are proud to have stepped up to the plate and continue to deliver,” Guy Bloch, Bringg’s CEO, said in a statement announcing the funding round. “We are honored by this vote of confidence from our investors and we’re looking forward to continuing to lead the last-mile revolution—reimagining the new world of delivery and fulfillment every day.”

The investment was led by Insight Partners with participation from seven existing investors: Cambridge Capital, GLP, Harlap, Next 47, Pereg Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Viola Growth.

That’s because the cost to return a purchase averages 27% of the purchase price, which erases as much as 50% of the sales margin. But consumers have their own interests in mind: 76% of shoppers admit they’ve embellished or exaggerated the return reason to avoid a fee, a 39% increase from 2023 to 204.

BCG: tariffs would accelerate change in global trade flows

Geopolitical rivalries, alliances, and aspirations are rewiring the global economy—and the imposition of new tariffs on foreign imports by the U.S. will accelerate that process, according to an analysis by Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

Without a broad increase in tariffs, world trade in goods will keep growing at an average of 2.9% annually for the next eight years, the firm forecasts in its report, “Great Powers, Geopolitics, and the Future of Trade.” But the routes goods travel will change markedly as North America reduces its dependence on China and China builds up its links with the Global South, which is cementing its power in the global trade map.
