digitizes the way enterprises dispatch, execute, track, and optimize the 
movement of goods, enabling enterprises to lower logistics costs while 
delighting end consumers. 

    "The support and trust of our investors, customers, and partners underpin 
our deep desire to make logistics better for brands, their customers, and the 
environment. We are seeing a surge in the need for real-time visibility in 
logistics for businesses to build customer-centric supply chains. With recently

Europe, and APAC to support our hyper-growth in these regions. With a vision to

    With a clear mandate to establish Singapore as their hub for international

headquarters in Singapore with investments in sales, solutions, services, and 
customer success teams, and continues to accelerate investments in the 
company's expansion into Europe and the Americas.

difficult space to innovate.  We are excited to partner with FarEye as it paves 
the way for its enterprise customers such as DHL and Walmart to gain 
flexibility as well as visibility in logistics by providing the easy-to-use 
platform to manage all moving parts. The newly raised capital will allow the 
team to deliver additional value to its enterprise customers by bringing in 
more global talents who will ultimately contribute to the advancement of the 
platform's predictive capabilities and customer services. We look forward to 
FarEye's contribution to its enterprise customers around the globe both during 
and post the current pandemic as seamless logistics has never been more vital 
to their business. We have been deeply impressed with FarEye's response during 
the pandemic as a global leader in the logistics SaaS space," said Chunsoo Kim, 
Managing Director (Head of Global Investment Group) at KB Investment.
