UK-based AI and robotics company secures funding to redefine warehouse and logistics industry
Dexory, the leading robotics and data intelligence company, today announced it has successfully closed an $80 million Series B funding round. The round was led by DTCP, with participation from Latitude Ventures, Wave-X and Bootstrap Europe, along with existing investors Atomico, Lakestar, Capnamic and several angels from the logistics industry. As part of this investment, DTCP's Michael Rager joins Dexory's board of directors.
The new funding, made up of a mix of equity and growth debt, will support an expansion of their artificial intelligence (AI) powered features across the DexoryView platform, grow its global team and accelerate the deployment of its autonomous robots with customers like GXO, Maersk, DB Schenker and beyond. A significant focus continues to be on expanding across the US market, where Dexory is already live with customers in seven states. The Series B will also enhance development and production facilities at its UK headquarters.
With the close of the round, Dexory has now raised $120 million over the past three years. The company has demonstrated incredible growth since the first commercial launch of their autonomous warehouse robots and software platform for the logistics space only 18 months ago.
Dexory's continued innovation of warehouse optimisation technology will ensure that the firm remains a leader in this space. It is setting new standards and unlocking new value for the warehouse of the future, as businesses continue to manage myriad challenges across their supply chains, amidst cost and service pressures.
