Louisville-Based SkuVault Completes Investment Round
LOUISVILLE, Ky., December 14, 2018 (Newswire.com) - SkuVault, an innovative cloud-based inventory and warehouse management system software platform, announced today the completion of an $8 million Series A investment led by Ballast Point Ventures with participation from Poplar Ventures and Endeavor Catalyst. SkuVault will use the investment to amplify marketing efforts, add to the sales force, and further enhance its software product offering.
SkuVault provides a cloud-based inventory and warehouse management system software platform designed primarily for businesses looking to scale with a competitive eCommerce and omni-channel distribution solution. The platform enables warehouse employees to fulfill customer orders more efficiently and allows purchasing managers to actively track inventory levels across disparate geographic footprints. Customers are able to scan products in and out of warehouses and retail stores via a simple barcoding system and sync real-time inventory data across multiple online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, and Jet.
Billions of dollars are lost each year in the retail industry due to inefficient warehouse operations and substandard inventory processes.
Andy Eastes, Chief Executive Officer
“Billions of dollars are lost each year in the retail industry due to inefficient warehouse operations and substandard inventory processes. SkuVault’s real-time insight into inventory levels prevents overselling and out of stocks, and its barcoding and quality control features reduce picking and shipping errors, thereby increasing operational efficiency,” said SkuVault Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Andy Eastes. “SkuVault is excited to partner with Ballast Point Ventures and the Series A co-investors, and for the possibilities this minority investment will provide. We are looking forward to expanding our profile within eCommerce and continuing to support our long-standing customers with world-class technology tools and customer service.”
“SkuVault’s success to this point without any outside funding is a testament to the vision and technology platform developed by a great team over the last several years,” said Ballast Point Ventures’ Sean Barkman, who will join the SkuVault Board of Directors. “We are very excited to partner with Andy and the SkuVault team and look forward to working with the company to build a leading cloud-based inventory and warehouse management software platform.”
