Seven Senders GmbH is a Berlin-based logistics platform specializing in cross-border parcel delivery for e-commerce retailers across Europe.[1][4][6] It builds an end-to-end delivery solution that connects merchants to over 100 local last-mile carriers, offering services like optimized shipping, real-time tracking, analytics, automated notifications, digital claim management, and climate-neutral options, serving retailers such as ASOS, Tamaris, and ASICS to solve the challenges of international shipping—delivering faster, cheaper, and with higher customer satisfaction.[1][3][5][6] With $63.1 million in total funding, $21 million in 2024 revenue, and 295 employees across offices in five European countries, the company has strong growth momentum, having processed over 100 million parcels and expanded through multiple funding rounds up to Series C.[1][3][4]
Seven Senders was founded in January 2015 in Berlin by Dr. Johannes Plehn (Co-CEO) and Thomas Hagemann (Founder and Managing Director), emerging from the need to simplify cross-border e-commerce logistics for online shops expanding into Europe.[1][4] The idea took shape as founders recognized inefficiencies in international parcel delivery, leading to the creation of a platform that manages the full supply chain from warehouse to customer doorstep using a Virtual Carrier Network.[2][4] Early traction came quickly, with Series A funding in August 2017, followed by Series B (€16 million in 2019 led by Digital+ Partners and btov Partners) and Series C in April (amount unspecified), fueling international expansion to offices in Amsterdam, Paris, and beyond; pivotal moments include launching 7SGreen for climate-neutral shipping in 2021 and achieving climate neutrality for 2020 operations in 2022.[3][4]
Seven Senders rides the surge in cross-border e-commerce, where European online retail growth demands faster, greener, and more reliable last-mile delivery amid rising consumer expectations for local-like experiences.[1][2][6] Timing aligns with post-pandemic supply chain disruptions and sustainability mandates, positioning it to capitalize on market forces like EU digital single market initiatives and the shift to climate-neutral logistics.[4] By aggregating fragmented carrier networks into a unified platform, it lowers barriers for retailers' internationalization, influences the ecosystem through partnerships with majors like ASICS, and drives industry standards for tech-enabled, customer-focused shipping.[5][6]
Seven Senders is poised for accelerated expansion, leveraging its Series C funds to deepen carrier integrations, enhance AI-driven optimizations, and push 7SGreen toward full emission-free delivery by 2030.[4] Trends like rising e-commerce volumes, regulatory pressures for green logistics, and demand for seamless omnichannel experiences will shape its path, potentially elevating it as Europe's go-to B2B shipping platform amid intensifying competition from giants like DHL. Its influence may evolve by setting benchmarks for sustainable, data-rich supply chains, directly enabling more retailers to thrive in a borderless market—reinforcing its role as the competitive edge in cross-border growth.[1][4][6]
