What DiLX does

DiLX operates as the Transport & Logistics vertical of The Gateway Group, a private multi-vertical conglomerate headquartered in Zoetermeer, Netherlands. The company builds digital-logistics-engineering software and services for logistics service providers (LSPs), freight forwarders, manufacturers, and adjacent industries including the animal feed sector. Founded in 1998, DiLX reports 27 years of operating history, 1,001–5,000 employees, and a delivery footprint spanning more than sixteen offices across Europe, India, Africa, and North America (including Austin, United States and Toronto, Canada). Its named enterprise customer base exceeds twenty logos across logistics, automotive, telecom, e-commerce, and feed/food.

The technical core is the ORBIT Suite, a cloud-native SaaS platform with more than ten modules covering freight forwarding, customs, warehousing, and finance workflows. Adjacent platforms extend the surface area: SCOUT AI (also referenced as the FreightAI Assistant) is an agentic AI product layer for conversational and predictive freight operations; Feed360 is a vertical ecosystem platform for the animal feed industry, built on top of the acquired FlowNxt feed-visibility capability; ORBIT Green extends the suite into sustainability and emissions reporting via a tri-party partnership. Architecture is described as cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS, with multi-modal data ingestion across text, audio, and structured shipment data feeding the AI workflows. No proprietary foundation models or patents are disclosed.

Commercially, DiLX operates a hybrid model combining tiered SaaS subscriptions with custom enterprise engagements. Published list pricing for Silver and Gold packages sits in the €1,500–€2,750 per month range (approximately €18K–€33K annually), with Platinum sold as a custom contract. The company also runs a digital engineering services practice and a Center of Excellence offering, suggesting that services and delivery contribute meaningfully to revenue alongside software subscriptions. Go-to-market is enterprise-led, with anchor relationships visible across named LSP, freight forwarding, and feed-industry logos.
