Munich post-purchase platform founded 2015; raised $112M+; lets ecommerce brands own shipment notifications and branded tracking pages between order confirmation and delivery.
ParcelLab was founded in 2015 in Munich, Germany and raised over $112M to build a post-purchase experience platform that helps e-commerce brands and retailers own the customer touchpoints between order confirmation and delivery. The company recognized that most brands cede this critical period to carrier-branded tracking pages and generic notification emails, missing the opportunity to reinforce brand identity, cross-sell, and build loyalty during a time when customers are highly engaged and checking their order status frequently.\n\nThe ParcelLab platform intercepts carrier tracking data from hundreds of global carriers and uses it to power branded order status pages, proactive shipping notifications via email and SMS, and automated communications for exceptions like delays or missing packages. Brands configure the entire post-purchase experience within ParcelLab, replacing generic carrier pages with a branded experience that keeps customers on the merchant's owned channels rather than redirecting them to third-party carrier websites.\n\nParcelLab serves large enterprise and mid-market retailers globally, with particular strength in European markets and expanding presence in North America following its US expansion. The company competes against Narvar, AfterShip, and Shipup in the post-purchase experience category, differentiating through its enterprise depth, the breadth of its carrier integrations covering 350+ carriers, and its returns experience product that extends the branded experience to the returns journey.
