Tommy John taps Cart.com for US fulfilment after $180M funding round

Cart.com has partnered with apparel brand Tommy John to become its exclusive US fulfilment provider. The clothing company will centralise operations through Cart.com's Terrell, Texas facility, which will handle inventory visibility and nationwide delivery. "As we evaluated our fulfilment strategy for long-term scale, consistency and customer experience were non-negotiable," says Gernot Senke, CFO at Tommy John. "Cart.com delivered on both." The partnership follows Cart.com's recent $180 million growth equity investment led by Springcoast Partners. Existing investors include PayPal Ventures, Arsenal Growth Equity, Mercury Fund and Oak HC/FT. CEO Omair Tariq says the investment will strengthen the company's balance sheet and allow it to accelerate strategic priorities, including AI capabilities and operational automation.
