South Asia Digital Freight Platform, Ezyhaul, has announced that together with Deutsche Post DHL, it has invested US$ 20 million in UK based tech start-up Digihaul.
DigiHaul connects shippers to transporters through a digital freight platform, helping to tackle challenges in the supply chain industry.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for us. We are very happy with the investment and strong support from industry leaders like DHL and Ezyhaul. It’s a clear recognition that we are on the right path and have a true opportunity to transform and modernise the UK transportation industry,” said Martin Willmor, chief executive officer (CEO) of Digihaul.
Raymond Gillon, CEO Ezyhaul, said, “We are very excited with the opportunity to invest in Digihaul. The team has demonstrated their ability to rapidly scale the solution in UK, growing 20 times since the start of the year. Leveraging Ezyhaul’s technology and experience combined with DHL’s network and expertise, Digihaul will undoubtedly take a leading position in the UK market very soon and will drive positive change for both shippers and transporters.”
Oscar de Bok, CEO, DHL Supply Chain, added, “DigiHaul is a perfect example of a data-led solution to the real-world problems of empty running and network constraints for shippers. Digitalising this process is long overdue. By creating a national network, the freight industry can start operating much more efficiently.”
