Out-of-home (OOH) delivery software, HubBox, has secured £6million in its latest funding round, led by Puma Growth Partners, to bolster global expansion as OHH fulfilment continues to flourish.

Founded to solve the growing frustration with failed home deliveries and rising customer demand for convenient alternatives, HubBox’s software enables retailers to offer local pick-up points at the online checkout.

This offers customers more flexibility – with convenience now a growing demand among shoppers – while helping retailers meet delivery expectations. It also allows couriers and carriers to consolidate volumes and improve margins by increasing parcels per stop. 

Seamlessly integrating with over 1,000 retail systems, HubBox now works with retailers across the UK, Europe and the U.S. including GAP, Selfridges, Gymshark, Birkenstock and Macy’s. The software is also compatible with all major couriers’ OOH networks, with HubBox partnering closely with major carriers such as UPS, DPD, Royal Mail, PostNord and DHL.

As the global OOH delivery market continues to grow rapidly – tipped to reach $54billion by 2030, the investment will allow HubBox to capitalise on this growth, offering a solution that benefits couriers, retailers and shoppers.

The funding injection will be used to support HubBox’s continued expansion in key growth markets, as well as strengthening strategic partnerships.

“Offering pick-up at checkout is key to accelerating the shift to OOH delivery and HubBox has been leading the charge for nearly a decade,” Sam Jarvis, CEO of HubBox, commented. “Now, as demand continues to surge, we’re expanding our investment in people and software to meet it.”

“HubBox has built a scalable solution to one of ecommerce’s most persistent challenges, which is checkout integration for alternative delivery options,” Charlotte Howe, Investment Manager at Puma Growth Partners, added. “The company is on its way to becoming a dominant force in ecommerce logistics and we are delighted to be backing the team on their next stage of growth.”
