Our take
Urbantz is a cloud platform dedicated to optimising last-mile delivery operations for enterprises. This crucial segment of the logistics supply chain involves the final delivery of goods from their last stock location to the end recipient.
The platform's primary objective is to equip large enterprises with efficient tools to enhance their operations, ultimately leading to reduced emissions. By focusing specifically on this delivery leg, Urbantz addresses a significant challenge, as it currently accounts for half of all supply chain costs and is a major source of CO2 emissions. The platform's global adoption is a testament to its service, with clients such as Carrefour, Asda, PsotNord, and Auchan benefitting from its offerings.
To solidify its market position across Europe, the company has used funding raised for product development and commercialisation. While Urbantz remains steadfast in its mission, it also acknowledges the importance of adapting its strategies in response to the rapidly evolving logistics landscape.
