Foremore

What Foremore does

Foremore is a Netherlands-headquartered on-demand delivery platform founded in 2022 that provides last-mile logistics services to building materials merchants and the contractors who order from them. Founded by Ife and Maarten, the company has built and operates a cloud-based booking, management, and tracking platform accessed via web app (app.foremore.com) and WhatsApp. Foremore serves merchant customers including Hornbach (multi-branch) and Stiho, and the merchant segment is the primary go-to-market focus, with end customers served indirectly through the merchants' own ordering flows.

The core product is a delivery management platform that combines merchant self-serve booking, automatic driver matching, live tracking, time slot scheduling, proof of delivery photos, and integration with merchants' online stores. Fulfillment is performed by a 100% electric fleet (initially cargo bikes, later electric vans, and by 2025 purpose-built vehicles), supplemented by external carriers from 2025 onward. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is described as transaction-based with upfront quotes per delivery, with the company claiming up to 50% lower cost and up to 75% faster delivery than merchants' incumbent options.

Foremore makes money per delivery via transaction-based pricing. Go-to-market mixes product-led self-serve booking with direct enterprise sales to building materials chains, the latter reflecting relationships such as the multi-branch Hornbach deployment and the 'Talk to sales' calendar available on the website. As of 2025 the company operates in four Dutch metropolitan areas (Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Rotterdam) with a stated goal of national coverage by mid-2027, has completed 10,000+ deliveries, reports having saved 40 tonnes of CO2 via its electric fleet, and has raised two undisclosed investment rounds in 2023 and 2024. Revenue is reported to have doubled in both 2024 (vs 2023) and 2025 (vs 2024), though absolute figures are not disclosed. Headcount is reported as 1-10, and no acquisitions, leadership changes, or AI/ML capabilities are referenced in the source material.

Direct peers

• Trunkrs: Dutch same-day delivery platform operating its own vehicle network (including sustainable/electric vehicles) for e-commerce parcels and bulky items. Direct competitor in the Dutch on-demand last-mile space, sharing platform-based booking and routing features with Foremore.
• Brenger: Netherlands-based on-demand delivery platform for bulky/oversized goods, pairing senders with drivers using vans and cargo bikes. Closest direct peer: same geography, same target customer profile (merchants selling large items such as furniture/appliances), and similar asset-light plus owned-capacity hybrid delivery model.
• GoSharing: Netherlands shared-mobility and last-mile delivery platform connecting shippers with cargo-bike and van couriers. Direct peer given overlap on on-demand urban delivery with small ZE vehicles and similar self-serve platform mechanics.

Emerging players

• Stuart (DPDgroup): On-demand urban last-mile delivery platform acquired by DPDgroup, operating with bikes, cargo bikes, and electric vans across European cities. Comparable platform-led delivery model and ZE focus, though focused on general urban SME delivery rather than building materials specifically.
• Cubyn: France-based last-mile and fulfillment provider specialized in bulky/parcel delivery for e-commerce merchants, operating fulfillment centers and a delivery network. Comparable on focus for bulky e-commerce shipments, though France-centric rather than Netherlands-focused.
• Cargonomia: Italy-headquartered cargo-bike logistics operator focused on zero-emission urban last-mile delivery for B2B clients in retail, food, and bulky goods. Comparable ZE cargo-bike/fleet focus and merchant-customer model, with relevant overlap on the operating approach rather than geography.

Broad incumbents

• Instabee (formerly Budbee): Northern-European e-commerce parcel delivery player combining owned fleet and carrier network, with electric vehicles and last-mile focus. Comparable as a tech-enabled, EV-leaning delivery operator targeting e-commerce shippers; broader in scope but adjacent platform model.
• PostNL: Incumbent Dutch postal and parcel operator with national coverage and growing electric last-mile fleet. Comparable as the dominant alternative for merchant parcel and bulky delivery in the Netherlands, with broader B2C/B2B product portfolio beyond building materials.
• DPD Netherlands: European parcel network (part of GeoPost/La Poste) with Dutch operations offering B2B and B2C parcel services including bulky-item handling. Broad incumbent peer overlapping with Foremore on merchant deliveries, though DPD's core is general parcels rather than building-materials-specific logistics.
• GLS Netherlands: European parcel and logistics network with Dutch operations providing B2B parcel, express, and freight services. Broad incumbent comparable on merchant parcel and bulky delivery, with a much larger traditional fleet and shipper base across Europe.
