Who We Are:
Hello! We are OPLOG, Turkey’s leading tech-enabled fulfillment startup enabling e-commerce brands across Europe to streamline and optimize their post-purchase fulfillment operations. We enable e-commerce brands to operate in various markets without physical boundaries through our international fulfillment networks with the ability to track all the inventory and operational processes.
Recognized by Deloitte as Turkey’s fastest-growing tech company, we raised €11 million from one of Turkey’s leading investment funds, Esas Private Equity. Our goal is to be #1 best fulfillment technology in the industry. But wait, there is more! We work with global companies such as SONY, Tupperware, Rossmann, and many local champions.
As one of the first companies to utilize proprietary robotics technology in our fulfillment centers, we aim to support and propel brands/companies beyond industry 4.0 transformation. Similarly, by creating a reliable and connected fulfillment infrastructure, we can help big and small brands/companies scale their businesses by allowing them to focus on their products, not the delivery journey.
