Hiventures, which called the transaction one of its most successful exits yet, sold its stake three years after the initial investment. The value of the transaction was not disclosed.

The fund manager financed Webshippy from the early phase until its revenue reached HUF 1 billion.

With the transaction, Trans-Sped has entered the Hungarian e-commerce logistics market. It will manage the logistics processes of its e-trader clients based on Webshippy's software, while also profiting as a co-owner from services provided to Webshippy's more than 1,000 customers, they said.

Webshippy's services include warehousing, packaging, delivering, and often invoicing the products of webstores. Founder and managing director Andras Perenyi said he can see a chance that the company will grow into the region's biggest e-logistics service provider.

Szabolcs Fülöp, managing director of Trans-Sped said they will install an automated system at Webshippy's warehouses in the coming months.

Hungarian-owned Trans-Sped had revenue of HUF 19.3 bln in 2019, public records show. Webshippy had revenue of HUF 713 million in 2019.
