European Freight Unicorn sennder Secures €228 Million to Roll Out AI Agents Across the Value Chain
The digital road freight forwarder raised €73 million in equity from Scania and Poste Italiane plus €155 million in debt facilities, earmarked for integrating C.H. Robinson's European surface business and selling its sennOS platform and AI agents to other forwarders.
Berlin-based digital freight forwarder sennder has secured €228 million in new financing — €73 million in equity from Scania and Poste Italiane and a €155 million facility from Coface, the EIB, Deutsche Bank and cflox — the company announced on 11 November.
The financing is earmarked for fully integrating the European Surface Transportation business acquired from C.H. Robinson into its proprietary sennOS platform, and explicitly for rolling out the technology platform and AI agents to shippers, carriers and other freight forwarders. The company claims positive IFRS EBITDA and roughly €1 billion in revenue for 2026, figures that are vendor-reported.
The notable shift is commercial: AI agents are no longer an internal efficiency tool but a sellable product layer offered to peers in the industry. For mid-sized forwarders, white-label automation is becoming an off-the-shelf option rather than an in-house build.
