Kushal Nahata, CEO and Co-Founder of FarEye, said, “We are very proud to have TCV and Dragoneer join our established investors to support our progress in becoming a global leader in delivery management. The funding is very timely for the delivery and logistics sector as we have seen consumers spending $861 billion online with U.S. retailers in 2020, up 44 percent from $598 billion in 2019. The growth and the digital transformation in the logistics sector have created an opportunity for software platforms like FarEye to provide a superior customer experience. Our ambition is to enable thousands of businesses to provide an Amazon-Prime-like delivery experience, and we aim to drive innovations that re-imagine how deliveries are being managed globally."
