The British Business Bank has invested £8.5 million in Dexori 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 Alaya. The deal underlines investors' growing confidence in AI-powered supply chain solutions at a time when global logistics networks are under increasing pressure.
Dexori 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, Dexori View.
This system allows companies to monitor inventory levels, detect inefficiencies, and optimize warehouse space in real time, a capability that is becoming increasingly important as supply chains become more complex and demands for speed and accuracy intensify.
The platform is powered by a vast and constantly expanding dataset, built from over a billion warehouse location scans, giving Dexori what investors describe as a significant competitive advantage in the market.
The company already works with major global logistics and manufacturing players including GXO, Maersk, DHL and Samsung, as well as customers in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, retail and e-commerce.
Since its last funding round, Dexori has expanded its footprint into Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, and established its North American headquarters in Nashville, signaling its ambition to become a global leader in warehouse automation and intelligence.
Leandros Kalisparas, chief investment officer of the British Business Bank, said the investment reflects a broader effort to ensure that high-growth UK technology companies have access to the capital they need to expand internationally.
“The UK consistently produces companies with market-leading technology that require massive domestic support to scale globally,” he said. “We are increasing the scale of our co-investment activity to support that growth.”
The investment is part of the Bank's wider strategy to deepen the capital pool for UK innovation and support the growth of globally competitive technology businesses.
Dexori's proposition sits at the intersection of two key trends: the automation of physical operations and the increasing importance of data-driven decision making.
By creating a digital twin of the warehouse environment, the company enables businesses to move from reactive to predictive operations, identifying problems before they occur and improving efficiency across the supply chain.
George Mills, investment director at the British Business Bank, said the company's proprietary datasets and AI capabilities position it strongly for future growth.
“They have a first-mover advantage in technology that can significantly improve the logistics and supply chains that underpin global trade,” he said.
Chief executive Andrei Danescu said the new funding would be used to accelerate product development and expand the company's reach into new markets and regions.
“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 organizations in building smarter, more resilient supply chains.”
As global trade becomes more complex and the costs of inefficiencies rise, the demand for real-time operational intelligence is expected to grow rapidly.
Dexori's combination of robotics, AI and massive data puts it at the forefront of this change, as companies look to modernize infrastructure and improve resiliency in an increasingly uncertain environment.
For the UK, this investment highlights the strategic importance of supporting deep-tech companies able to compete on the global stage, and the role of public-private partnerships in turning innovation into business success.
