Singapore-based tech startup FarEye secures $37.5 million Series D funding to expand its delivery logistics platform used by DHL and Amway

The global logistics market is projected to reach $12.256 trillion by 2022. However, carriers and shippers continue to face challenges like delivery delays, lack of flexibility, inaccurate addresses, and first attempt failures negatively impact customer experience and profitability of courier, express & parcel businesses. Enter FarEye, a Singapore-based tech startup and a provider of predictive logistics platform for businesses to execute, track, collaborate, predict, and optimize the movement of goods.

Today, FarEye announced it has raised an additional $13 million Series D extension led by The Fundamentum Partnership, the growth-capital fund for mid-stage technology companies in India backed by Nandan Nilekani and Sanjeev Aggarwal and KB Global Platform Fund.

This is the second time this year that FarEye has been able to raise funds to support its hyper-growth in global markets, making it a total of USD 51 Mn investment so far. In April, FarEye had raised USD 24.5 Million in Series D from M12 (Microsoft’s venture fund) with participation from Eight Roads Ventures, Honeywell Ventures, and existing investor SAIF Partners.
