Company mission
To build technology that improves efficiency, positively impacting partners, riders and inhabitants.
Our take
Last-mile logistics contribute significantly to the carbon footprint of deliveries, as well as to urban congestion. Sparqle sets out to tackle these joint issues with its last-mile delivery platform, answering the rising demand for eco-conscious options, especially as more cities enforce emission-free zones.
By harnessing proprietary software, a dedicated fleet of e-cargo bikes, and electric vehicles, Sparqle optimises delivery routes to minimise environmental impact. Its commitment to reducing carbon footprints aligns with regulatory mandates and addresses the urgent need for greener logistic solutions in urban environments.
With capital to its name, Sparqle is ready to fuel further development of its technology platform, expand its sustainable delivery network, and facilitate entry into additional European markets. As it gains momentum, the company has the potential to benefit businesses and communities alike as it works towards cleaner, more liveable cities.
