About
Based in California, US, and founded in 1996 as StampMaster, Auctane, Inc. operates as a provider of internet-based purchasing and printing postage services to online retailers, small businesses, and enterprises. The company was founded by Jim McDermott, Ari Engelberg, and Jeff Green. As of 2021, the company is trading in NASDAQ under the ticker symbol STMP.
In October 2021, Thoma Bravo acquired the company in a public-to-private transaction and subsequently rebranded the firm from Stamps. com into Auctane LLC. In March 2026, Thoma Bravo agreed to combine WWEX Group and Auctane, Inc. under the Auctane, Inc.
/ WWEX Group brand. Auctane LLC allows clients to print US postal service-approved electronic and indicia stamps directly onto envelopes, business documents, and labels with the use of a computer and printer to mail them anywhere in the world through the United States Postal Service. The company offers different types of internet mailing solutions including postage stamps, shipping labels, and e-commerce and shopping cart integrations. Auctane LLC also offers a product called PhotoStamps, which allows the customers to print their personal portfolio of photographs or their own designed logos onto real U.
S. postage stamps. The company offers access rate discounts for its customers that are not available at the post office, which include an op to 28% off first-class package service and up to 40% off priority mail for its customers. Through its subsidiaries, the company also offers mailing, shipping, and logistics solutions.
Following the merger by Thoma Bravo, the combined entity plans to aggregate its diversified logistics and shipping technology platforms, and create AI-enabled end-to-end logistics solution.
