The company has truly transformed every customer's approach to warehousing and fulfillment, especially for those who have multi-channel needs," says Paul Hsiao, General Partner at Canvas Ventures and Flowspace's newest board member.

Flowspace's top executive also sees huge potential for the company moving forward.

"Our vision is to become the fulfillment infrastructure for any company with inventory. We provide a massive warehouse and fulfillment network, real-time visibility into inventory levels, and an easy-to-use software. I am proud of what our team has built and grateful to the hundreds of customers and warehouses who use Flowspace today," said Flowspace co-founder and CEO Ben Eachus.
