Axelis+

What Axelis+ does

Axelis+ is a French proximity logistics services provider headquartered in Créteil (22 Chemin des Marais, 94000) and operating primarily across Paris, Ile-de-France, France, and Europe through its subsidiaries Speed Distribution Logistique (B2B rapid messenger and bespoke distribution, based at the same Créteil address) and Team Distribution (B2C last-mile delivery of high-value-added products in Paris using cargo trikes and electric vehicles, based in Ivry-sur-Seine). The company was founded in its current form in 2008 when Marc Bachini acquired Axelis from Lagardère Group and rebranded it, and has been wholly owned by Le Roy Logistique since 2023. Following the ANSM authorization in 2013, Axelis+ also operates as a licensed pharmaceutical deposit holder under subcontracting conventions with pharmaceutical laboratories.

The company serves enterprise clients across six verticals — Edition & Publishing, High Tech, Cosmetics, Fashion, Luxury, and Health — offering end-to-end outsourced logistics: goods reception, warehousing, order preparation, and worldwide shipping via the Axelis+ core product, rapid B2B messenger services in Paris/Ile-de-France via Speed Distribution (6,500 requests/year, 99.4% delivered in J+1), and B2C brand-sensitive delivery via Team Distribution. Technology is operational rather than AI-native: an EDI system integrated with Calvacom for electronic data interchange at all stages of the logistics flow, a client extranet portal (Espace client) for proof-of-delivery tracking, and dematerialized production processes. Data is hosted on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure (OVH, Google Workspace).

Revenue is generated through customized, quote-based managed services and professional services contracts (no public pricing tiers disclosed). Combined revenue is approximately €18M for Axelis+ in 2025, with Speed Distribution contributing €13.9M in 2024. Customer acquisition is sales-led and partnership-driven, with a named reference client being Guerlain (19-ton 100% electric truck deployment for luxury delivery). The marketing mix is light: a Wix-hosted corporate website (logistiquecitoyenne.com), social media presence on Facebook and YouTube, the client extranet as a bottom-of-funnel retention tool, and professional brochures. Sustainability credentials are a deliberate commercial differentiator — Charte Objectif CO2 (ADEME), Charte en faveur d'une logistique urbaine durable (Mairie de Paris, since 2006), and a 35% reduction in GHG emissions between 2014 and 2021 for Speed Distribution and Team Distribution.
