Based at offices in Stratford, London the venture is transforming parcel delivery services with a logistics software product that facilitates multimodal delivery - the transfer of parcels from vans to street porters and cargo cycles for a greener final mile delivery. Since its formation as a small and nimble start-up the team has grown steadily, successfully pivoting and refining its proposition and business model. We are passionate about solving difficult problems in last mile logistics and building sustainable solutions that deliver lasting value for our customers and stakeholders.
