Ezyhaul and DHL Invest $20 Million in Logistics Tech DigiHaul

DigiHaul connects shippers to qualified transporters through a frictionless digital freight platform, thereby helping to tackle some of the biggest challenges in the supply chain industry. Having built one of United Kingdom’s largest transporter networks, DigiHaul provides shippers with immediate access to capacity across the United Kingdom with upfront pricing. It also gives transporters the opportunity to take on new jobs, enabling them to grow or optimize their operations with new routes and back-loading.

“We are very happy with the investment and strong support from industry leaders like DHL and Ezyhaul. It’s a clear recognition that we are on the right path and have a true opportunity to transform and modernize the UK transportation industry,” said Martin Willmor, CEO, Digihaul.

Ezyhaul and DHL will both take a share in DigiHaul, and the investment will be used to support ambitious growth plans through customer and transporter acquisition.

Raymond Gillon, CEO, Ezyhaul, said, “We are very excited with the opportunity to invest in Digihaul. The team has demonstrated their ability to rapidly scale the solution in UK, growing 20 times since the start of the year. Leveraging Ezyhaul’s technology and experience combined with DHL’s network and expertise, Digihaul will undoubtedly take a leading position in the UK market very soon and will drive positive change for both shippers and transporters.”

Oscar de Bok, CEO, DHL Supply Chain, added, “DigiHaul is a perfect example of a data-led solution to the real-world problems of empty running and network constraints for shippers. Digitalizing this process is long overdue. By creating a national network, the freight industry can start operating much more efficiently.”
