Logistics Software Platform Business Valuation

The global logistics software market is rapidly expanding. In 2024, it was valued between $17.7 billion and $26.3 billion, depending on source, growing at a CAGR of 8–11.7%, and expected to reach $39–63 billion by 2032–2034 . North America leads, comprising over a third of the market, driven by early adoption of scalable, cloud-based platforms. These systems empower real-time tracking, routing optimization, warehouse and fleet management, and supply chain visibility, addressing the complexity of modern logistics.

What Makes Logistics Software Platform Valuation Unique

Valuing a logistics software platform blends SaaS growth metrics with infrastructure efficiency:

• ARR & Recurring Revenue Predictability: Stable subscription income underpins valuation.

• TPV and Volume Tracked: Transaction or shipment volume across clients signals platform scalability.

• Saas Growth and Retention Metrics: ARR growth, Net Revenue Retention (NRR), churn, and gross margins are key indicators.

• Customer Acquisition Efficiency: Measures like CAC, CAC payback, and CLV determine marketing ROI.

• Platform Integration & Usage: API usage, feature adoption (e.g., WMS, TMS modules), and ecosystem strength reflect customer reliance.

• Infrastructure Impact: Optimization of operations, cost savings, and asset utilization (e.g., fleet, warehouse) influence value delivery.

• Multiples & Benchmarks: SaaS platforms often trade at 3–6x ARR, while logistics platforms with strong transaction volumes and low churn may reach 8–12x EBITDA.
