CHICAGO, Oct. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continued effort to give e-commerce companies across the United States a hassle-free way to manage inventory and ship products, ShipBob announced today the opening of their newest warehouse in Dallas, Texas. Dallas marks ShipBob's fifth fulfillment center, and the first in the Southern United States.

The warehouse is at 4051 Freeport Parkway in Grapevine, Texas, located nearly equidistant from Dallas and Fort Worth. ShipBob's warehouse will also bring new jobs to the area with plans to hire over 100 employees over the course of the next two months.

"We're excited to welcome Dallas to the ShipBob family and continue our mission of creating a network of fulfillment centers close to where our customers reside," said ShipBob CEO and co-founder Dhruv Saxena. "ShipBob may be new to the Dallas area, but with so many e-commerce companies in the region, we're now in the perfect position to help these companies grow their businesses by providing the highest quality shipping and logistics in the Southern region."

Dallas is ShipBob's first warehouse to open since announcing a Series B investment of $17.5 million led by investment firm Bain Capital Ventures. Along with Bain Capital Ventures, this round saw participation from existing investors- Hyde Park Venture Partners, FundersClub, Hyde Park Angels and FJ Labs LLC. While this location will be able to offer Dallas regional customers same-day shipping, it also continues ShipBob's strategy of distributed inventory, a method of providing customers with diversified locations to reduce shipping costs, times and distance.

ShipBob has already helped more than 1,000 e-commerce companies ship over two million packages to date. With warehouses in Chicago, Brooklyn, Las Angeles, San Francisco, and now Dallas, ShipBob is now positioned to offer customers from all corners of the continental United States shipping solutions.
