Logistics platform Bex raises 5.6 million euros

Whether it's a pack of screws or paving stones - the start-up wants to deliver building materials and equipment within two hours. This has convinced investors.

The Stuttgart-based start-up Bex has secured 5.6 million euros in a recent financing round. The round was led by Scania Growth Capital. Peter Förster, co-founder of the logistics platform Transporeon, is also investing in the young company. The Munich-based family office Gemelo is said to have previously invested more than one million euros in Bex.

Lennart Paul and Johannes Keller founded the start-up in 2019. The founders want to simplify processes in the construction industry with their platform. They are focusing in particular on the so-called last mile of the supply chain in the construction industry. The start-up claims to deliver building materials and equipment within two hours on the same day as the order. There are already hundreds of vehicles on the platform for this purpose, such as cargo bikes, but also three-axle vehicles with cranes.

The founders intend to use the new capital primarily to drive expansion in Germany, but also in Europe. "We will also continue to expand our logistics network, our services and our software solutions for transport management in the construction industry," says Paul.
