Bigblue: The Future of Automated E-Commerce Fulfillment in Europe
Paris-based startup Bigblue has secured $3.6 million (€3 million) in seed funding to transform how European e-commerce businesses handle fulfillment. This innovative solution empowers online retailers to streamline their post-purchase operations across multiple sales channels.
How Bigblue Simplifies E-Commerce Logistics
Rather than building infrastructure from scratch, Bigblue’s smart approach leverages existing logistics networks to create a seamless fulfillment solution:
- Single-Point Management: Consolidates relationships with multiple fulfillment centers and shipping carriers
- Multi-Channel Integration: Works with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Wix Store, Prestashop, Fastmag, and Amazon
- Transparent Pricing: Flat fee per order with no hidden costs
The Bigblue Advantage for Online Retailers
Bigblue delivers significant benefits that help small and medium e-commerce businesses compete with industry giants:
Enhanced Customer Experience:
- Branded delivery emails
- Optimized carrier selection (DHL, Chronopost, etc.)
- Direct fulfillment center to customer shipping
Operational Visibility:
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Comprehensive operations dashboard
- End-to-end shipment monitoring
Funding and Future Roadmap
The seed round was led by Samaipata with participation from Bpifrance, Plug and Play, and prominent angel investors including Clément Benoit, Thibaud Elziere, and Olivier Bonnet.
With this investment, Bigblue plans to:
- Expand its team with 50 new hires
- Develop additional e-commerce platform integrations
- Enhance its ERP and marketplace connections
- Build advanced tracking pages and email personalization tools
- Improve return processes and delivery time estimates
Leveling the E-Commerce Playing Field
Bigblue’s solution democratizes access to enterprise-level fulfillment capabilities, enabling smaller retailers to:
- Compete effectively with Amazon and large e-commerce platforms
- Deliver premium customer experiences
- Eliminate the need for in-house logistics teams
- Focus on business growth rather than operational complexities
As e-commerce continues to boom across Europe, Bigblue’s automated fulfillment solution arrives at a pivotal moment, offering retailers a smarter way to scale their operations while maintaining exceptional service quality.
