We have acted as exclusive financial adviser to the founder and management of Zinnovate International on its partnership with Swedish investment firm Bragnum Invest.
Zinnovate is a global leader in IT transformation for the freight forwarding and logistics industry, as well as the leading implementation partner for the logistics software platform CargoWise. The company also offers ZES, its proprietary SaaS platform for EDI services. The company has built a strong niche position by combining deep domain expertise in global freight forwarding with specialist capabilities in systems integration, process optimisation, and digitisation. Through long-term engagements with some of the world’s largest logistics players such as UPS and Nippon Express, Zinnovate has earned a reputation as a trusted and strategic IT partner for complex, business-critical initiatives.
Founded by industry veteran Håkan Nilsson, Zinnovate has grown rapidly by addressing a unique gap in the market – delivering tailored technology solutions to an industry often underserved by traditional IT consultancies.
The partnership with Bragnum marks the next chapter in Zinnovate’s growth journey. With founder Håkan Nilsson and CEO Tamsin Emery continuing to hold close to 50% ownership, the company is well positioned to accelerate growth and product development – while preserving its entrepreneurial culture and client-centric approach.
We leveraged its international network and deep sector expertise in tech-enabled services to run a structured, competitive and founder-friendly process that secured the right partner to support Zinnovate’s next stage of growth.
