February 5, 2021
Slync.io
closed a $60 million Series B funding round. Goldman Sachs Growth led
the Series B investment with participation from ACME Ventures, 235
Capital Partners, Correlation Ventures and other existing investors. As
part of the deal, Goldman Sachs' John Giannuzzi will also join Slync's
board of directors.
“This is a great milestone for us at Slync and it is a testament to our
amazing people and the hard work they have put into building this
company since the beginning,” stated Chris Kirchner, Slync’s Chairman,
CEO & Co-founder. “For us, everything starts with our customers and more
capital to invest in our global team, accelerate our product
development, and grow our service offerings is a big win for all of
them.”
Slync.io enables intelligent process automation for the logistics
service providers and global supply chains which increases productivity
and reduces operating expenses in some of the most challenging processes
in global logistics. The company’s award-winning SaaS platform performs
seamless data harmonization by synchronizing both enterprise systems and
manual tools within a single system, giving a new level of understanding
to Slync’s customers. This unprecedented level of connectivity and
understanding empowers logistics teams to focus on value-added
activities and supporting their customers instead of tedious back office
processes.
“Slync
has demonstrated tremendous progress on its mission to help global
logistics service providers and shippers solve some of their most
critical challenges,” said John Giannuzzi of Goldman Sachs Growth. “We
believe that Slync is well positioned for long-term success and we are
excited to provide Slync with additional support and resources to
advance its product roadmap and accelerate its global growth.”
Slync.io has experienced significant momentum since the beginning of
2020, with the announcement of its successful Series A round in March,
bringing Slync’s total capital raised in 2020 alone to over $70 million.
Slync.io will leverage this investment to continue to serve its
customers globally, expand its physical presence in Europe and Asia, and
to expand its rapidly growing team of world-class talent. |
