What POSTX does
POSTX is a London-based AI logistics technology company founded in 2023 by Max Glaisher. The company operates an Autonomous Logistics Execution Platform that plans, runs, and executes middle-mile logistics routes through a software-led, asset-light model. Its core technology is an AI-powered Sorting Index that virtually pre-indexes hundreds of millions of stop points to group deliveries into optimal service areas, combined with a Drop, Swap & Go operating model that uses PODs (box trailers) towed by driver-owned EVs to deliver routes without fixed depots. The platform integrates virtual sortation, virtual hubs, flexible routes, trailer assignment, and pre-load planning modules, with API integration into customer operations.
The company serves courier, parcel and postal operators, distributors and 3PLs, retail and DTC brands, pallet networks, manufacturers, and sortation centre operators across the UK. Named enterprise customers and partners include E.ON UK (utilities), 1 Click Logistics (an Amazon DSP with 13,000 routes and 3.5 million parcels annually across South East England), Danux Carousel Logistics, Wincanton, Segen, and Hived. Operations span 60% of UK postcodes, with 3,400+ routes, 8,000+ palletised shipments, 700,000+ emission-free miles, 634 tonnes of CO₂ avoided, a 99/100 safety score, and 100% OTIF service quality as of June 2025.
POSTX monetises through route-based usage billing (pay only for route hours, no minimums or dead legs), subscription-style platform licensing for the Autonomous Logistics Execution Platform, and transaction fees on middle-mile capacity services. GTM combines enterprise field sales targeting logistics operators and delivery networks, direct enterprise sales, and channel partnerships with logistics operators that act as both customers and distribution. The company has won the National Sustainability Partnership of the Year (2024) with Segen and E.ON, was recognised as UK Safest Fleet by Flock (2025), and is currently raising a pre-seed round as of March 2026.

This is the first deployment of such a platform within Amazon DSP operations. POSTX provides the autonomous logistics execution platform while 1 Click Logistics operates delivery routes, drivers and vehicles. The platform automates coordination between them, reducing operational overhead through automated driver scheduling and fleet utilisation. The partnership forms part of POSTX's ongoing pre-seed round.
- E.ON UKcoreE.ON UK partnered with POSTX for emission-free delivery operations using a relay EV network. The partnership has delivered 26,000 EV miles preventing up to 44.7 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. A trial with E.ON UK demonstrated 1,400% improvement in delivery efficiency driven by advanced routing and optimised loading processes.
- Danux Carousel LogisticsflagshipDanux Carousel Logistics was one of the early operational deployment partners who helped prove the POSTX logistics operating model across multiple UK cities, contributing to the scale of covering more than 60% of UK postcodes.
- WincantonflagshipWincanton, a major 3PL operator, partnered with POSTX in early deployments demonstrating the scalability of the new logistics operating model.
