Naver D2SF Makes Follow-up Investment in Logistics IT Startup 'TechTaka'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Naver's startup nurturing organization D2SF announced on the 19th that it made a follow-up investment in the logistics IT startup 'Techtaka,' in which it conducted seed investment last year. The investment amount this time is approximately 12.5 billion KRW, with participation from Murex Partners, Mirae Asset Capital, DSC Investment, and others.

Techtaka is a company that developed the data-driven integrated logistics IT platform 'ARGO.' It also independently developed various IT systems necessary for e-commerce logistics, including Commerce Management System (CMS), Order Management System (OMS), Warehouse Management System (WMS), and Transportation Management System (TMS).

These systems are organically linked on the ARGO platform, automatically synchronizing data at every stage from product registration to order and delivery. Through this, e-commerce sellers can focus more on marketing and sales.

Techtaka is growing rapidly by quickly achieving key milestones such as product development, securing clients, and attracting investment. Previously, it signed contracts with various logistics companies including Market Kurly, Samyoung Logistics, and Team Fresh.

The founding team of Techtaka has experience successfully leading logistics IT projects at Coupang, UPS, and others. Using this investment as a stepping stone, Techtaka plans to actively recruit to accelerate technology development and business operations.

Yang Sanghwan, leader of Naver D2SF, explained the investment background, saying, "Techtaka developed multiple logistics IT systems and an integrated platform within 15 months of its founding, completed commercialization, and succeeded in securing clients, proving its market potential. As Techtaka's first institutional investor and strategic investor, we look forward to future synergies."
