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.

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

Lennart Paul and Johannes Keller founded the start-up in 2019. With their platform, the founders want to simplify processes in the construction industry. In doing so, they are focusing particularly 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 of the order. There are already hundreds of vehicles on the platform for this purpose, such as cargo bicycles, but also three-axle trucks with cranes.

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