HighJump Software Inc.

HighJump Software was founded in the 1980s as a supply chain execution software provider, evolving from a niche warehouse management vendor into a broader logistics technology platform. The company targets mid-market and enterprise customers, offering a suite of applications for distribution, manufacturing, and omnichannel fulfillment. HighJump's core product lines include warehouse management systems (WMS), transportation management systems (TMS), and supply chain analytics. The platform integrates with ERP systems like SAP and Oracle, and is designed for industries such as food and beverage, wholesale distribution, and third-party logistics. Deployment options include on-premises and cloud-based solutions. The firm's customer base spans North America and Europe, with notable implementations in the retail, automotive, and pharmaceutical sectors. The company has undergone multiple ownership changes over its history. In 2006, private equity firm Accel-KKR acquired HighJump; later, in 2014, Francisco Partners acquired the company. HighJump was subsequently listed as a portfolio company of Francisco Partners until its consolidation with 3PL Central in 2020, forming a larger supply chain technology entity under the Körber AG umbrella after 2020. No recent AUM or team size is publicly available, as the firm no longer operates as a standalone entity. HighJump's structural differentiator was its early focus on materials-handling equipment integration and radio-frequency barcode scanning, which gave it deep roots in physical logistics operations rather than purely software automation. This hybrid software-hardware heritage shaped its niche in mid-market manufacturers that still run warehouse operations with heavy manual processes.
