Antwerp-based Vectrix raises €1.15 million to build the automation layer for transport operations
Vectrix, an Antwerp-based AI platform, has secured €1.15 million in seed funding to enhance automation within transport operations. This investment, led by RDY Ventures, signals strong confidence in AI's role in optimizing complex logistics workflows and addresses a critical need for efficiency in the sector. The funding will fuel Vectrix's growth and expansion into neighboring European markets. The Vectrix platform acts as an intelligent pre-Transport Management System (TMS) layer, automating the manual entry of transport orders. By transforming unstructured data from sources like emails and ERP systems into validated information, it reduces processing time from an average of eight minutes to a maximum of two. The AI continuously learns from customer-specific workflows and historical data, flagging inconsistencies and suggesting corrections, thereby mitigating errors and improving overall operational accuracy. This technological advancement directly impacts logistics companies struggling with administrative task automation and talent shortages. By streamlining order processing and empowering logistics staff with clearer context, Vectrix not only boosts efficiency but also aids in faster onboarding of new employees. The company's commitment to a European growth strategy, with plans to expand into Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, underscores the growing demand for innovative European digital solutions.
