Last-mile logistics technology company UniUni has raised $85 million in combined equity financing and credit facilities to accelerate the expansion of its delivery network across North America.
The funding includes a $30 million equity round led by Beijing-based private equity firm Rockets Capital and a $55 million credit facility provided by Royal Bank of Canada. The capital will support operational scaling, warehouse automation, and broader geographic coverage across the United States and Canada.
What The Company Does
UniUni operates an e-commerce logistics platform focused on last-mile delivery services. The company relies on a network of gig workers who use passenger vehicles to transport parcels from local distribution hubs directly to consumers.
Originally launched in 2019 as a restaurant delivery service called Uni Express, the company has since evolved into a logistics platform designed to handle large volumes of e-commerce shipments. UniUni now serves as a delivery partner for online marketplaces and retailers, including AliExpress, Shein, and Temu.
The platform coordinates deliveries through a network of drivers and regional warehouses where parcels are sorted before being dispatched to final destinations. By using gig drivers and passenger vehicles rather than dedicated delivery fleets, the company aims to maintain flexible capacity and reduce operational costs.
UniUni’s logistics model focuses on the final stage of delivery, which is often the most complex and expensive part of the e-commerce supply chain.

Market Context / Industry Background
The rapid growth of online retail has increased demand for efficient last-mile logistics solutions. E-commerce companies and marketplaces are seeking delivery partners capable of handling large volumes of packages while maintaining low shipping costs.
Traditional logistics providers typically operate centralized distribution networks with dedicated vehicle fleets. In contrast, several newer logistics platforms are experimenting with gig-based delivery networks that rely on independent drivers.
This approach allows companies to scale delivery capacity quickly while adapting to fluctuating order volumes. However, it also introduces operational and regulatory challenges related to labor practices, worker classification, and workplace conditions.
UniUni has faced scrutiny in the past regarding labor practices. The company has been the subject of proposed class action lawsuits, and media reports have raised concerns about conditions observed in one of its warehouses in Connecticut. Such issues reflect broader debates surrounding gig-based logistics platforms operating in the delivery sector.
Despite these challenges, demand for flexible delivery infrastructure continues to grow as online marketplaces expand internationally.
Founder / Investor Commentary
UniUni did not disclose detailed comments from executives regarding the latest funding round, but the company stated that the capital will support continued growth of its logistics network and infrastructure.
The investment reflects increasing interest from financial institutions and private investors in logistics platforms capable of supporting high-volume e-commerce distribution.
SEDAR filings with Canadian securities regulators indicate that additional participants in the equity round included four investors based in Ontario and Québec, along with investors located in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands.
Growth Plans / Use Of Funds
UniUni plans to use the new financing to expand its operational infrastructure and increase parcel processing capacity across its warehouse network.
A key priority will be the deployment of advanced sorting machines designed to automate parcel handling and improve efficiency at distribution hubs. Increasing sorting capacity will allow the company to process larger volumes of packages while reducing processing time.
The company will also allocate capital toward working capital requirements and broader geographic expansion across the United States and Canada.
UniUni has already been scaling rapidly in recent years. According to the company, revenue increased by more than 2,000 percent between 2022 and 2025. This growth contributed to UniUni ranking fifth on Deloitte’s 2025 Technology Fast 50 list of Canada’s fastest-growing technology companies.
The company has also invested in automation technologies within its logistics network. Following a previous funding round, UniUni partnered with Global Robotics Service to introduce AI-enabled robotic systems for parcel sorting within its warehouses.
UniUni reported that after its Series D funding round last year, its driver network provided coverage for more than 80 percent of the Canadian population and over 60 percent of U.S. residents.
Following the latest funding announcement, the company said its delivery footprint now reaches approximately 80 percent of Canada and 65 percent of the United States, with plans to expand further in both markets.
In total, UniUni has raised approximately $285 million in funding to date, including both equity investment and credit facilities.
