Since Amazon’s arrival on the market, companies operating last mile logistics have come under great pressure to become more digital in a context where delivery packages are soaring, constraints are increasing, customer demands are growing, and environmental impact is a major concern. At the current rate, last mile volumes will have increased by 78% by 2030, adding 6 million tons of CO2 to the atmosphere. Kardinal provides the missing technology to run new, more flexible, sustainable and efficient organizations.

For Sarah Benhamou, BGV’s director: “Kardinal fits perfectly with BGV’s Enterprise 4.0 vision: AI, enterprise software specialized in the logistics sector, intelligent automation, and a clear return on investment for the company. For several months now, we have been taking a close look at logistics, a sector that is changing significantly with the rise of online sales. Logistics optimization is necessary, but many delivery companies have been disappointed by previous route optimizations they have tried. The decision to invest in Kardinal was obvious once we understood the startup’s secret formula, a proprietary mathematical language capable of solving the specifics of each customer using the same algorithms, and in real time. We were impressed with the team, which is highly technically proficient, with strong engineering, AI and machine learning backgrounds, as well as expertise in the logistics industry. We are very pleased and proud to support the entire Kardinal team in its development, and especially on an international scale as BGV has a strong presence around the world.“
