Crewdible

Crewdible is an Indonesian-based company operating a micro-warehousing platform that connects e-commerce businesses with owners of vacant properties. Founded in 2017 by Dhana Galindra and Sony Gultom, the company was established to address the operational complexities faced by online sellers. The business idea originated from Dhana's personal experience running an online sporting goods brand in 2015 while working a full-time job. To manage growth without renting a dedicated warehouse, he partnered with logistics office employees to store and ship his products for a commission, a model that proved successful and attracted interest from other online merchants.

The company's core business revolves around providing an asset-light warehousing solution, primarily targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Crewdible transforms unused spaces like houses, offices, and shops into fulfillment centers. This model allows online sellers to strategically place inventory closer to their customers, reducing shipping costs and delivery times, without the overhead of renting, staffing, and managing their own warehouse. Revenue is generated through a commission-based model, where warehouse partners and Crewdible earn a fee for each transaction processed. This approach offers a more affordable solution compared to traditional fulfillment services that often require significant capital investment.

Through a mobile and web-based application, Crewdible offers a suite of services including inventory management, order processing, packing, and shipping integration with multiple logistics partners. The platform syncs directly with major e-commerce marketplaces, automating the fulfillment process from order reception to final delivery. Clients can monitor stock levels, track orders, and view financial reports through a single dashboard. The service caters to a wide range of industries, from fashion and electronics to food and beverages, offering specialized storage conditions like temperature control where needed. A significant milestone was its acquisition by the Indonesian e-commerce giant Bukalapak on April 12, 2023, following a Series A funding round led by them in October 2022. Prior to this, Crewdible had secured seed funding from angel investors in 2018 and a pre-Series A round led by Global Founders Capital in 2019.
