How our logistics website redesign helped Nimble raise $106M in Series C funding
Project:
the project
A website built to win enterprise buyers and investor confidence
Nimble runs automated warehouses for retailers and brands, replacing human workers with AI-powered robots. The technology was ahead of its category. The website was not.
Logistics tech companies lose clients and investor trust when their digital presence doesn't match the sophistication of the product. A robotics system shown through a generic SaaS site raises credibility concerns before anyone reads a word, and Nimble's legacy website kept the company's infrastructure and performance out of view entirely.
Lazarev.agency delivered the full logistics platform website design, recrafting how Nimble presents its technology and its proven results. One year after the engagement, the company secured $106M in Series C funding from FedEx.
Here is how each part of the redesign moved buyers and investors closer to that result.
Proof the redesign paid off
The redesign gave Nimble a website matching the sophistication of its technology. It put the company's automation and client results in front of the buyers and investors who decide its trajectory.

The Project’s
Discovery Phase
Built a visual brand system to establish technology credibility from the first impression
Enterprise buyers and investors judge a company in seconds, long before they read a line of copy.
We gave Nimble a visual identity that establishes its credibility unprompted and presents the company as a precise, engineering-led logistics platform. An interactive cursor mimicking a robotic arm during the pickup process put the core technology in the visitor's hands. An abstract capability became something tangible inside the browser.
For buyers and investors arriving with no prior context, a strategically designed brand identity converts a first impression into qualified interest, so they reach the copy already inclined to believe its claims.
Restructured the homepage to answer a buyer's first three questions upfront
Enterprise buyers and investors decide whether a company is worth their time in the first few sections of a homepage.
We sequenced Nimble's homepage around the three questions they ask first: what the company does, how well it performs, and who already trusts it.
The hero opens with the robotic system in operation, a performance section gives the technology a quantified basis, and recognizable client logos confirm enterprise-scale adoption. Three sections in, a visitor understands what Nimble does differently and has reason to believe it, well before any sales conversation.
Designed an interactive coverage map to let buyers verify the national reach themselves
Coverage claims in copy ask the reader to take a company's word for it. An interactive map asks for nothing.
That's why we built an interactive map of Nimble's national warehouse network. A buyer clicks to add fulfillment centers, and the map instantly shows how much of the US population each one can reach and how much it saves on shipping. Without speaking to anyone, a buyer can confirm whether Nimble's network covers their customer base across the country.

Structured case study cards to help buyers find a comparable client
When a buyer evaluates a third-party logistics partner, they want to see a client like themselves, a company of similar size selling similar products. A general testimonial doesn't answer that.
So our team added a stats block to every case study card to illustrate the client's daily order volume, number of products, and product category. A prospect can scan the cases, spot a company that matches their own, and judge whether Nimble is a fit before reading the full story.
These same numbers do double duty: enterprise buyers use them to check fit, and investors use them to see how much real business Nimble is handling. One set of cards earns its place in both a sales pitch and an investor conversation.
Built a documented design system to add pages without re-solving the design
Between Series B and Series C, new pages pile up faster than any team can keep consistent by hand. A documented system holds the quality steady as Nimble grows, the quality investors weigh and clients read as credibility.
That’s why we built Nimble a documented design system to ensure new pages can be produced consistently without rebuilding the design from scratch or pulling a senior designer into every decision.

Developed a brand book to make Nimble recognizable across digital and physical touchpoints
A logistics company scaling into enterprise sells itself in two places at once, on screen and in the physical world. When those touchpoints look disconnected, the company reads as less established than it is.
We built Nimble a complete brand book governing how the company shows up everywhere: the website, business cards, stationery, and the shipping packaging itself. Every surface a buyer, partner, or investor encounters reinforces the same impression of a credible, category-defining company.

FAQ
How does logistics platform website design affect investor confidence?
A generic website signals organizational immaturity, something investors price into valuation or use to justify waiting for a later round. Nimble secured $106M from FedEx one year after redesigning their site to surface performance evidence immediately, establish their autonomous logistics category, and signal the infrastructure of a company ready to deploy capital at scale.
How does visual language in logistics platform website design communicate technology credibility without overstating it?
Through restraint. A website overloaded with motion and innovation signaling reads as compensating for a product the design team doesn't trust to speak for itself. Every element should have a functional justification: typography signaling precision, interactions making the product mechanism physically present. For Nimble, a monospaced font and a cursor mimicking a robotic arm communicated technological credibility more effectively than any complexity-heavy visual system would have.
What is the commercial value of a documented design system for logistics companies?
Consistency at the pace growth demands. Without a documented system, every new asset becomes a design decision made without reference and accumulating inconsistency erodes the coherence the original design established. A complete system means new pages, materials, and environments can be produced consistently without senior design involvement at every step. For companies preparing for fundraising, it also signals the organizational readiness investors and enterprise partners read as evidence you can scale without losing coherence.
How should a fulfillment technology company structure its website to convert enterprise prospects?
Front-load qualification. Enterprise buyers visiting your site are making a fit decision before they'll speak to anyone and a website requiring them to navigate multiple pages to answer basic questions loses them before the conversation starts. Technology demonstration in the hero, performance metrics immediately below, client logos confirming enterprise adoption. Interactive tools that let buyers verify coverage and review client-specific results reduce sales friction at the earliest and most decisive stage of the buying process.
What commercial role do 3D animations play on a B2B technology website?
They make an inherently physical product legible in a digital environment. For a robotics fulfillment company, a static image or text description leaves the most important part of the value proposition to the visitor's imagination. Nine custom 3D animations on Nimble's site showed the actual robotic system in operation: pickup, sorting, fulfillment flow, giving enterprise buyers and investors a credible picture of the technology before they ever visit a warehouse or speak to a sales representative.
What must a brand book include for a logistics tech company scaling into enterprise markets?
Decision-making infrastructure. Logo rules specific enough to cover edge cases, typography guidelines for digital and print, color usage principles beyond hex codes, and physical environment guidelines covering trade presence, logistics environments, and partner-facing materials. Without this, every new channel or market entry forces teams to improvise and inconsistency accumulates faster than it can be corrected, undermining the coherence your brand was built to establish.
