Our take

Byrd provides e-commerce customers with virtual warehousing units in seven European countries, along with a suite of software that allows customers to connect, manage, and analyse worldwide shipments.

The company's main goal is to provide retailers with a viable alternative to the kind of services provided by the likes of Amazon Prime. With the majority of merchants already selling through multiple channels, including their own websites, marketplaces, and more, this is a prime opportunity for byrd.

Covering the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain, and Italy, the company plan to expand its market into Denmark and Poland, totalling 30 warehouse locations.
