Omniful raises $5.85m with plans to expand in North Africa
Supply chain and e-commerce facilitator Omniful has emerged from stealth mode, securing $5.85 million in seed funding led by VentureSouq. Other contributors to the funding round include 500 Global, DASH Ventures, Jahez Group, SEEDRA Ventures, Bunat Ventures, Hala Ventures, RZM Investments, and several family offices.
Operating out of the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Omniful has developed comprehensive systems for ordering, warehouse management, and transport management. These systems empower merchants to leverage hyperlocal and omnichannel commerce, efficiently manage orders, and monitor inventory in real time. Additionally, its technology equips third-party logistics providers (3PLs) to optimize their workflows.
The recent funding paves the way for Omniful's expansion plans, which involve growing its customer base in other regions, notably Africa and India, where it already maintains a research and development center.
