Blueprint Partners announces a €7m fundraising round for The Agent.

The Agent is a french platform solution and service for fashion and cosmetic brands willing to develop their e-commerce channel internationally.

With more than 600 brands and 90 e-retail partners, The Agent helps brands on all export issues and obstacles they may confront: aggregation of flows, catalog enrichment, photo shootings, translations, sales promotions, customer service & logistics and also managing shipping returns.

This transaction’s main goal:

  • Accelerate the technological development of the platform in order to help brands reduce their go-to-market time
  • Create an international leader that guides fashion brands and strengthens their international presence, namely in China

The enterprise already thrives since more than 80% of its export revenues and 30% of its catalog brands are European. The Agents strives to recruit hundreds of additional brands on an international scale in the coming years.

“This round will enable us to accelerate the development of our IT platform, thus enhancing even further our value chain. Blueprint’s presence and support played a central role in executing our strategy and hence in succeeding with the transaction.”
