Saudi e-commerce delivery service consolidator Torod secures $11.2 million in pre-Series A funding
Torod: Saudi Arabia's Ecommerce Shipping Aggregator Makes Strides
Torod, a Saudi Arabia-based ecommerce shipping aggregator, has made a significant entry into the region's parcel delivery market. Founded in 2022 by Faisal Almaklas and Ammar Almaatouq, the company has already integrated with several prominent shipping partners, including Smsa, Aramex, and iMile [1].
In addition to these partnerships, Torod also connects with major store builders like Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Salla, and Zid, providing online store owners with a seamless shipping solution from a single interface [1].
The company's growth was evident in a $11.2 million pre-Series A round raised in an undisclosed year [2]. The funding round was led by Wa'ed Ventures and Elm, with the participation of Impact46, Hala Ventures, and Suhail Ventures [2]. Previously, Torod had raised a $1.3 million seed round in 2022 [2].
However, as of the latest data available (July 2025), there are no verifiable details on Torod's current funding stage or partnerships beyond the aforementioned. For up-to-date and precise information, checking Torod’s official communications or dedicated business databases may be necessary [2].
Notable competitors in the region include Saudi-based Oto, which raised an $8 million Series A last year [3], and Cairo-headquartered Voo. The broader Saudi Arabian parcel delivery market and general growth in Middle East cross-border ecommerce in 2025 have been discussed in various sources, but Torod is not mentioned specifically [1][2].
Torod's platform offers businesses the ability to track their orders from the same interface and boasts various automation features [1]. As the ecommerce landscape continues to evolve in the Middle East, Torod is poised to play a significant role in streamlining shipping processes for online businesses in the region.

Torod's integration with shipping partners and major store builders demonstrates its commitment to revolutionizing finance within the business sector, particularly in the technology-driven ecommerce industry. With its seamless shipping solution, automation features, and substantial funding, Torod is likely to substantially impact shipping processes and finance management for online businesses in the Middle East.
