The Atlanta-based logistics and commerce enablement company announced the move Monday (Jan. 5), saying the transaction closed Jan. 1 and adds 12 fulfillment locations to its network, along with a stronger presence in the EU and U.K. Through Shipwire’s existing agreements, Stord will also gain continued access to CEVA Logistics’ global warehouse network spanning more than 170 countries. Financial terms were not disclosed.
“This unification brings together two of the most accomplished technological companies in the fulfillment space,” Stord CEO and co-founder Sean Henry said in a statement, “and will set Stord to be the dominant AI-leader as brands race to find and implement the technology they will need to stay competitive.”
Shipwire’s technology division was included in the deal, bringing proprietary B2B integrations and additional expertise to Stord’s order management system. Shipwire has been developing an AI-enabled platform that connects with more than 200 eCommerce carts, marketplaces and enterprise resource planning systems, capabilities Stord plans to integrate into its broader ecosystem. The acquisition builds on Stord’s previously announced AI investments, including more than 50 related hires across 2025 and early 2026.
Stord said the transaction will give its customers improved access to CEVA’s global infrastructure, which includes more than 120 million square feet of contract logistics warehouse space worldwide. Shipwire customers, meanwhile, will gain access to accelerated AI software development across order management, warehouse management and delivery date estimation tools, as well as Stord’s parcel pricing and consumer experience capabilities.
The Shipwire deal follows a series of acquisitions by Stord, including Fulfillment Works, ProPack, Pitney Bowes E-Commerce Fulfillment and Ware2Go from UPS, as the company continues to scale its technology-driven fulfillment platform.
Across the global supply chain, artificial intelligence is increasingly streamlining systems, enabling more informed decision-making and boosting efficiency. The technology is making it possible for firms to scale without the added cost of increasing their workforce. Commerce and logistics giants including Amazon and FedEx have been investing in AI infrastructure.
