HOLY SHIP! SHOPIFY TO ACQUIRE DELIVERR FOR $2.1B: BUILDING THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL
LOGISTICS FOR INDEPENDENT BRANDS

May 5, 2022
Share this story:


THE LARGEST ACQUISITION IN SHOPIFY’S HISTORY WILL CREATE AN END-TO-END LOGISTICS
PLATFORM TO UNLOCK FAST AND EASY FULFILLMENT FOR MILLIONS OF MERCHANTS

 * Shopify Fulfillment Network (SFN) and Deliverr are combining to remove supply
   chain complexity for merchants of all sizes, on and off Shopify,
   democratizing access to end-to-end logistics for independent brands for the
   first time
 * Deliverr’s technology strengthens SFN’s ability to manage merchant inventory
   from port to porch as it travels to the warehouse network, gets distributed
   across sales channels, and ultimately arrives at the consumer’s doorstep
 * SFN and Deliverr will power Shop Promise, a new service that offers consumers
   two-day and next-day delivery options with the merchants they love

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shopify's logistics and fulfillment capabilities just leveled up in a big way!
We’ve reached an agreement to acquire Deliverr, a leading fulfillment technology
provider, for $2.1B. Founded in 2017, Deliverr’s hassle-free logistics network
now delivers more than a million orders per month for thousands of merchants
across the U.S.

Fast, reliable shipping is now table stakes; it's a deciding factor for
customers when shopping online, and their expectations are only growing.
However, recent global shipping delays and increasingly complex supply chains
have made meeting these expectations as challenging as ever—merchants aren't
able to fulfill orders as quickly as they need to stay competitive. 

Shopify is doubling down on logistics to help merchants adapt and thrive in the
face of these changes. 

With the addition of Deliverr's world-class software, talent, data, and scale,
SFN aims to become the most robust end-to-end logistics platform that gives
merchants greater control of their inventory across all sales channels.
Together, SFN and Deliverr will handle all of the hard stuff so merchants can
focus on running their business and delighting customers. Cha-ching!



So, what exactly will this look like? With Deliverr and SFN, merchants, whether
or not they're using Shopify, will be able to reduce logistics costs and
eliminate the hassle of managing complex supply chains. Specifically, they’ll
gain access to:

 * Simplified multichannel inventory management with a single place for
   merchants to ship their inventory for different sales channels. These include
   a merchant’s online store, brick-and-mortar locations, wholesale customers,
   marketplaces including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Walmart, and platforms like
   Google, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. 
 * Demand-driven inventory placement that predicts where customer orders are
   likely to come from and positions inventory near that demand, so orders can
   be fulfilled from the closest possible location. We’ll get all of a
   merchant’s inventory and orders where they need to go, and fast!
 * Reliable two-day and next-day delivery from coast to coast with an expanded
   network of warehouse partners, carriers, and last mile partners so that
   merchants always get the best service possible, no matter where they’re
   shipping to across the U.S.
 * Flexible, independent logistics services that can be mixed and matched based
   on merchants’ unique needs as they scale their businesses. This includes new
   services for storage, freight, inventory preparation, and returns, which will
   be available to merchants whether or not they use SFN for fulfillment.

Consumers can expect some exciting changes, too! Soon, when shopping online for
their favorite brands, consumers will see a new badge on products they browse:
Shop Promise. Merchants using SFN or Deliverr will have access to Shop Promise,
a new benefit in early access that displays two-day and next-day delivery
promises on merchants’ online stores and other channels.



So how does this benefit merchants? This delivery promise extends beyond the
online store across surfaces like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and the Shop app,
helping merchants improve trust and increase sales with billions of potential
customers by meeting them where they like to shop. Most importantly, Shop
Promise guarantees merchants what no other commerce platform can: full ownership
of their brand, business intelligence, and customer data.

Ultimately, by combining our strengths with Deliverr's, SFN will offer merchants
a one-stop shop for their logistics needs, from initial receipt of inventory to
smart distribution through fast delivery and easy returns. We plan to integrate
Deliverr with SFN’s direct-to-consumer fulfillment operations and 6 River
Systems’ leading warehouse automation technology. Our full set of turnkey
solutions will connect through Deliverr’s network technology, as well as
Shopify’s embedded software and robotics inside both Shopify and
partner-operated warehouses. All together, we’re building a fast and reliable
fulfillment offering that gives independent merchants of all sizes the ability
to meet customer expectations quickly and affordably.

"Our goal is to not only level the playing field for independent businesses, but
tilt it in their favor—turning their size and agility into their superpower,”
said Tobi Lütke, founder and CEO of Shopify. “Together with Deliverr, Shopify
Fulfillment Network will give millions of growing businesses access to a simple,
powerful logistics platform that will allow them to make their customers happy
over and over again.”

“Our technology and expertise in inventory management, inventory placement, and
demand chain combines perfectly with Shopify’s roadmap, enabling us to now build
an end-to-end logistics platform together,” said Harish Abbott, co-founder and
CEO of Deliverr. “Shopify has been building the future of merchant-first
fulfillment solutions, and our team has a track record of helping businesses of
all sizes streamline their operations. We’re excited to join Shopify in their
mission to make commerce better for everyone while democratizing shipping and
fulfillment for independent entrepreneurs.”

Shopify Fulfillment Network, 6 River Systems, and Deliverr will collectively
form a broader logistics unit within Shopify under the group's newly appointed
CEO, Aaron Brown, who has led Shopify Fulfillment Network since 2020.
