Abris Capital Partners (Abris), an ESG transformation specialist private equity investor, has supported Alsendo, a Central European technology shipping solutions business, in acquiring a majority stake in Innoship, a Romanian SaaS delivery management platform.
Alsendo will team up with all four founders of Innoship, who are staying on board following the acquisition.
Innoship is a pure SaaS delivery management specialist founded in Romania in 2019, offering advanced technology solutions that optimize last-mile management through data intelligence for over 200 medium and large retailers in Europe. The company will help drive Alsendo’s transition from reselling into a technology-driven, SaaS-focused business model. At the same time, Innoship will benefit from Alsendo’s expertise in providing comprehensive shipping services and technological solutions for business customers, including e-commerce, marketplace and global enterprises.
Central European investor Abris invested in Alsendo (the corporate brand of Apaczka.pl, Sendit.pl, Zaslat.cz, and Innoship.com) in 2020, and has since partnered with the firm’s management team to expand the business organically and through acquisition, as it seeks to build the leading provider of shipping solutions in Central Europe.
The acquisition of Innoship follows those of Zaslat – a technology-enabled parcel delivery platform focused on consumers and corporate clients in the Czech Republic and Slovakia – in September 2022, and Sendit, a parcel delivery platform for individual customers in Poland, in 2021. This latest add-on is another step forward for Alsendo in targeting unique technology businesses with a focus on new SaaS products for SMEs and large enterprises.
