Quivo Secures €5.2 M To Expand Its Streamlined e-commerce Logistics To The Gulf Region

The funding will support Quivo’s entry into Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, meeting growing demand for professional e-commerce fulfillment in one of the fastest-growing digital commerce markets.

Co-founder and CEO, Christoph Glatzl, adds: “Together we are expanding a network that not only facilitates international brands’ entry into the Gulf States, but also enables seamless intra-GCC expansion, giving them genuine access to a rapidly growing market of millions of digitally savvy consumers for the first time.”

Quivo’s strategic investment and Gulf expansion reflect a 2025 trend of European logistics startups raising capital to boost cross-border capabilities.

In Portugal, Lyzer raised over €10 million to grow its e-commerce fulfilment network, while the UK’s Relay and HIVED secured €33.4 million and €35.6 million, respectively, for tech-driven parcel delivery.

Quivo’s approach is unique because it pairs strategic funding with hands-on integration embedding its fulfillment technology directly into GWC’s Gulf network. This hybrid model places Quivo between Europe’s software-driven logistics innovators and established regional players, showing how cross-market partnerships are becoming key to expanding globally.

“With GWC we have found the ideal partner to bring our fulfilment expertise to one of the most dynamic regions in the world,” says Georg Weiß, Co-founder and CEO of Quivo.

Founded in 2017 to simplify logistics for fast-growing e-commerce brands, Quivo integrates with over 40 shop systems and ERP platforms, supported by a team of 400+ employees serving 1,500+ companies worldwide.

Quivo operates six warehouses across Austria, Germany, France, the UK, and the USA. Its partnership with GWC brings capital and a strategic Gulf presence, tapping into a market projected to reach USD 47 billion by 2029 (Seamless GCC Market Report 2024).

The first milestone has been achieved with GWC’s Qatar warehouse now running Quivo’s software. Expansion to Dubai and Saudi Arabia will create a tri-hub network, opening the region to international e-commerce brands.

GWC gains e-commerce capabilities, while Quivo benefits from regional infrastructure and market access. Together, clients can seamlessly scale operations across Europe, the US, and the Gulf, a highly connected, mobile-first market with growing online shopping demand.

“E-commerce is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the GCC region,” said Matthew Kearns, Acting Group CEO of GWC. “As the regional market leader, we are constantly expanding our offering. With Quivo at our side, we now provide customers with a fully integrated fulfillment solution – covering everything from storage and processing to delivery.”

The partnership comes at a pivotal moment: the Seamless GCC Market Report 2024 forecasts Saudi Arabia’s e-commerce market growing from USD 10 billion in 2022 to USD 23 billion by 2027. The UAE is expected to rise from USD 12.3 billion to 17.2 billion, while Qatar is set to double from USD 1.8 billion to 3.5 billion.

Quivo’s clients, including European pet tracker brand Tractive, have already used its scalable logistics to expand into the UK and US. With GWC’s extensive regional network, Quivo is now poised to replicate this growth across the Gulf States.
