British Business Bank invests £8.5m in Dexory to expand AI logistics platform
The British Business Bank has invested £8.5 million into Dexory, as part of a wider Series C funding round aimed at accelerating the company’s global expansion and strengthening the UK’s position in advanced logistics technology.
The round was led by Eurazeo, with participation from LTS Growth, Endeavor Catalyst and a strong syndicate of existing investors including Atomico, Lakestar and Elaia. The deal underscores growing investor confidence in AI-driven supply chain solutions at a time when global logistics networks are under increasing pressure.
Dexory has developed a full-stack platform that combines autonomous robotics with artificial intelligence to provide real-time visibility inside warehouses. Its robots continuously scan storage environments, collecting data that feeds into its digital twin platform, DexoryView.
This system allows companies to monitor inventory levels, detect inefficiencies and optimise warehouse space in near real time, a capability that is becoming increasingly critical as supply chains grow more complex and demand for speed and accuracy intensifies.
The platform is powered by a vast and continuously expanding dataset, built from more than a billion warehouse location scans, giving Dexory what investors describe as a significant competitive advantage in the market.
The company is already working with major global logistics and manufacturing players, including GXO, Maersk, DHL and Samsung, as well as clients across sectors such as pharmaceuticals, retail and e-commerce.
Since its previous funding round, Dexory has expanded its footprint across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, and established its North American headquarters in Nashville, signalling its ambition to become a global leader in warehouse automation and intelligence.
Leandros Kalisperas, chief investment officer at the British Business Bank, said the investment reflects a broader push to ensure high-growth UK technology companies have access to the capital needed to scale internationally.
“The UK consistently produces companies with market-leading technology, which need greater domestic backing to scale globally,” he said. “We are increasing the scale of our co-investing activity to support that growth.”
The investment forms part of the Bank’s wider strategy to deepen capital pools for UK innovation and support the development of globally competitive technology businesses.
Dexory’s proposition sits at the intersection of two major trends: the automation of physical operations and the increasing importance of data-driven decision-making.
By creating a digital twin of warehouse environments, the company enables businesses to move from reactive to predictive operations, identifying issues before they occur and improving efficiency across the supply chain.
George Mills, investment director at the British Business Bank, said the company’s proprietary dataset and AI capabilities position it strongly for future growth.
“They have a first mover advantage in technology that could significantly improve logistics and supply chains, which underpin global trade,” he said.
Chief executive Andrei Danescu said the new funding will be used to accelerate product development and expand the company’s reach into new markets and sectors.
“Our focus has always been on delivering tangible value through real-time visibility,” he said. “This investment enables us to advance our technology and support more organisations in building smarter, more resilient supply chains.”
As global trade becomes more complex and the cost of inefficiency rises, demand for real-time operational intelligence is expected to grow rapidly.
Dexory’s combination of robotics, AI and large-scale data positions it at the forefront of this shift, as companies seek to modernise infrastructure and improve resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment.
For the UK, the investment highlights the strategic importance of backing deep-tech companies capable of competing on a global stage, and the role of public-private partnerships in turning innovation into commercial success.
