The transaction represents Main’s third platform investment in France in 2025, following the opening of its Paris office in February of this year. The Shippingbo management team will continue to lead the operations and retain a significant ownership stake, underscoring their strong commitment to the shared vision of building an internationally leading unified logistics platform.
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Toulouse, France, Shippingbo provides a comprehensive, cloud-based logistics management platform that combines Order Management (OMS), Warehouse Management (WMS), and Transport Management (TMS) functionalities into an integrated platform. Its solutions enable e-commerce brands, logistics providers, and retailers to automate fulfillment, optimize warehouse operations, and manage transport flows efficiently through a centralized interface.
Shippingbo’s software platform delivers scalability, flexibility, and seamless integration throughout the supply chain ecosystem. Its solutions enable supply chain players to connect and automate every stage of their operations, facilitating robust omnichannel strategies through unified logistics capabilities. The company employs approximately 80 professionals at its Toulouse headquarters and serves around 1,000 direct customers across several verticals — including consumer goods, 3PL logistics, sports & leisure, and food & beverage. Key customers include brands such as Venom, Teddy Smith, Weber Industries and third-party logistics providers (3PL) such as DHL, Deret, and Stef.
Although the majority of its revenues are currently generated in France, Shippingbo demonstrates clear international ambitions, with a growing customer base and market presence in Spain, Belgium, and Switzerland.
Accelerating growth through product innovation, international expansion, and a targeted buy-and-build strategy
Through its collaboration with Main, Shippingbo aims to accelerate growth via continuous product innovation, international expansion, and a targeted buy-and-build strategy to reinforce its position as a specialized software provider in the logistics value chain. The partnership will prioritize expanding Shippingbo’s functional coverage (OMS, WMS, TMS), developing complementary modules, partner network, and strengthening its go-to-market strategy to better serve its growing European customer base.
The management team – primarily composed of the founding partners with decades of experience in logistics software – will retain a significant stake and continue to lead the next phase of growth alongside Main.
We are highly enthusiastic about partnering with Marc, Romain and the rest of the Shippingbo team and supporting their next phase of growth."
Jonas Kruip, Co-Head France & Sr. Investment Manager at Main Capital Partners, said: “We are highly enthusiastic about partnering with Marc, Romain and the rest of the Shippingbo team and supporting their next phase of growth. As supply chains become more digital, data-driven, and customer-centric, integrated OMS, WMS, and TMS solutions have become mission-critical for businesses striving to deliver efficiency, transparency, and scalability across the entire supply chain. Shippingbo’s scalable and modern platform is uniquely positioned to address these needs, and we look forward to working closely with the management team to accelerate innovation and expand the company’s presence internationally both through organic and inorganic growth. Shippingbo marks our third platform investment in France since the opening of our Paris office earlier this year, underscoring our strong commitment to supporting and further developing the French software ecosystem.”
Marc Heiricher, Founder and CEO of Shippingbo, added: “We are very proud of this strategic agreement with Main Capital to support us in this new chapter. From our very first discussions, we connected over shared values and felt we were gaining far more than just a financial partner. Main’s experience in the software sector and in supporting scale-ups through their growth journey will allow us to significantly accelerate Shippingbo’s development. This new partnership validates our vision and will provide us with new resources to continue innovating internally, strengthen our partner ecosystem, and roll out a Buy & Build strategy to reinforce our position as an established unified logistics platform for omnichannel commerce in France and internationally.”
