Dohands is a South Korean fulfillment technology company that provides logistics and supply chain management services for e-commerce businesses. Founded in 2012 by CEO Chan-jae Park, the company was originally established as Duson Company with the social mission of creating jobs for vulnerable populations. It began with ventures like creating and selling paper hangers before pivoting to its current logistics-focused business model in 2015. The company officially rebranded to Dohands in December 2021 to emphasize its technology focus and global expansion ambitions.
The company's core offering is 'Poomgo,' an end-to-end fulfillment service that handles warehousing, inventory management, packing, and shipping, allowing online sellers to focus on their core business. Dohands developed its own proprietary warehouse management system (WMS) called 'Handybot' to optimize logistics operations. The company has introduced several specialized services to the market, including same-day delivery, 24-hour order cut-offs for next-day delivery, and nationwide 7-day-a-week shipping, positioning itself as a key partner for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to compete with larger platforms. Dohands operates multiple fulfillment centers across South Korea. It serves a range of clients from crowdfunding projects to established online brands, and is a partner in the Naver Fulfillment Alliance (NFA) and for services like Cafe24's 'Daily Delivery'.
Dohands has a significant social enterprise component, maintaining a commitment to hiring from marginalized communities, with this group representing about 30% of its workforce. The company has successfully raised significant capital to fuel its growth, securing a total of approximately 32 billion KRW (around $26.8M USD) in funding through its Series B round from investors including Naver, IMM Investment, and The Korea Development Bank.
