🇫🇮 Fixably Secures $10 Million, Launches New Product to Extend the Life of 10+ Billion Devices
Press release from Fixably
Fixably, a globally recognized after-sales SaaS company, has successfully secured $10 million in funding and is launching a new product to extend the lifespan of over 10 billion devices.
The funding round included global investors such as 468 Capital, Cusp Capital, icebreaker.vc, and Business Finland. It comes at a time when the used smartphone market is projected to grow from $66.8 billion in 2023 to $143.8 billion in 2031, a significant opportunity for the recommerce sector.
The introduction of Fixably Refurb demonstrates the company’s commitment to creating a comprehensive global after-sales platform.
The innovative solution addresses the challenges faced by re-commerce companies, including sourcing, price management, reporting, grading, and the ability to scale their business.
Billions of dollars worth of transactions are run on spreadsheets, simple in-house solutions, or poorly-configured ERP systems. By enabling data-driven re-commerce operations, Fixably Refurb adds substantial value to the circular economy of consumer electronics.
Fixably Repair, the company’s first Saas product, is a repair workflow management solution that encourages repairability and profitable after-sales business. The solution serves its primary markets in North America, South America, Europe, and Australia.
Fixably Refurb will benefit greatly from the existing service capacity of the Fixably Repair network in over 35 countries, supported by Fixably’s diverse international team representing 20 different nationalities.
