Shipday Raises $7M Series A to Expand AI-Powered Delivery Platform for SMBs

Shipday, the Menlo Park, California–based delivery and logistics technology platform for small and medium‑sized businesses, has raised $7 million in Series A funding to accelerate product innovation, expand its global footprint, and deepen investments in AI‑powered delivery automation solutions.

The funding round was co‑led by ECP Growth, a growth‑stage investment firm that focuses on companies developing scalable technologies across the consumer value chain, and Ibex Investors Mobility VC, a venture capital fund specializing in early‑stage investments in mobility, logistics, and manufacturing. Additional participation came from existing backers B Capital and Supply Chain Ventures, bringing Shipday’s total capital raised to more than $10 million since its earlier seed round in 2023.

Shipday’s platform offers end‑to‑end delivery management tools designed to help restaurants, grocers, bakeries, florists and other local merchants manage their own direct delivery operations with greater efficiency and profitability. The company’s technology enables merchants to coordinate orders, automate dispatch, and engage customers, with support for more than 5,000 businesses in over 100 countries and availability in 30 languages.

The new Series A funding is earmarked for expanding the company’s feature set, strengthening integrations with partners and third‑party systems, and broadening its geographic reach into new markets. A key focus of the investment is the continued development of Shipday’s AgentFlow, an AI‑driven automation engine that functions as a self‑driving operational system for local delivery logistics. AgentFlow uses intelligent agents to automate tasks such as dispatching, customer support, and marketing, helping small businesses scale with fewer manual interventions.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with ECP Growth and Ibex, who understand the operational challenges many SMBs face and share our vision for scalable, intuitive logistics technology,” said Moin Islam, Co‑Founder and CEO of Shipday. Islam emphasized that the funding will enable the company to accelerate innovation, reach more customers globally, and continue empowering small businesses with modern delivery technology.

Leaders from the investor firms also highlighted their enthusiasm for Shipday’s potential. Jeff Emmons, Director at ECP Growth, noted that the company’s AI‑enabled platform is “purpose‑built to drive efficiency, mobility, and resource efficiency” for growing businesses and creates sustainable value as SMBs scale. Jeff Peters, Partner at Ibex Investors and Head of Mobility VC, said that Shipday’s solutions equip small businesses to compete in a delivery landscape marked by rising consumer expectations and complex logistics demands.

Shipday’s growth reflects broader trends in the logistics and last‑mile delivery technology space, where demand for efficient, tech‑driven solutions continues to escalate. Small businesses increasingly seek alternatives to large third‑party delivery services that often charge high fees and offer limited customization. Shipday’s platform addresses this gap by enabling merchants to manage their own delivery operations while improving customer satisfaction and operational control.

Since its founding, Shipday has focused on simplifying local delivery logistics for merchants of all sizes. The platform’s tools streamline order workflows and enhance real‑time visibility for both merchants and customers, helping businesses improve order accuracy, reduce delivery times and build stronger customer relationships. With its new funding, the company is positioned to further refine these capabilities and accelerate international adoption.

As competition in logistics and delivery technology intensifies, Shipday’s emphasis on AI‑powered automation and user‑friendly systems makes it a compelling option for merchants seeking cost‑effective solutions. Its growth to more than 5,000 businesses in over 100 countries signals strong market acceptance and underscores the scalability of its approach.

In addition to feature enhancements and geographic expansion, the Series A funding will support the company’s efforts to integrate more deeply with partners across e‑commerce, point‑of‑sale systems and routing services, helping broaden its ecosystem and value proposition for users.

With this infusion of capital and strategic backing from leading investors, Shipday is poised to accelerate its mission of democratizing delivery technology for SMBs worldwide, offering merchants powerful tools to manage direct deliveries, boost efficiency and compete more effectively in an increasingly digital marketplace.
