British Business Bank invests £8.5m in Dexory to expand AI Logistics platform

The British Business Bank has invested £8.5 million in 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 transport technology.

The round was led by Eurazeo, with participation from LTS Growth, Endeavor Catalyst and a strong consortium of existing investors including Atomico, Lakestar and Elaia. This agreement underscores the growing confidence of investors in AI-driven solutions at a time when global networks are under increasing pressure.

Dexory has developed a full-stack platform that combines autonomous robots and artificial intelligence to provide real-time visibility inside warehouses. Existing robots continue to scan storage areas, collecting data from their digital twin, DexoryView.

This system allows companies to monitor inventory levels, detect inefficiencies and increase warehouse space in near real time, an ability that becomes more critical as supply chains grow more complex and the need for speed and accuracy increases.

The platform is powered by a large and continuously growing dataset, built from more than a billion warehouse scans, giving Dexory what investors describe as a significant competitive advantage in the market.

The company already works with major global transport and manufacturing players, including GXO, Maersk, DHL and Samsung, as well as customers across sectors such as pharmaceuticals, retail and e-commerce.

Since its previous round of funding, Dexory has expanded its footprint across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, and established its North American headquarters in Nashville, demonstrating its desire to become a global leader in storage equipment and intelligence.

Leandros Kalisperas, chief investment officer at the Business Bank of Britain, said the investment reflects a wider push to ensure the UK’s fastest-growing technology companies have access to the capital they need to expand globally.

“The UK continues to produce companies with market-leading technology, which require significant domestic support to grow globally,” he said. “We are ramping up our co-investment activity to support that growth.”

The investment is part of the Bank’s wider strategy to deepen UK innovation capital 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 operations to predictive operations, identifying problems before they happen and improving efficiency throughout 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 can greatly improve procurement and supply chains, supporting global trade,” he said.

CEO Andrei Danescu said the new funding will be used to accelerate product development and expand the company’s access to new markets and industries.

“We were very focused on delivering tangible value with 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.

Dexory’s combination of robotics, AI and big data puts it at the forefront of this transformation, as companies seek to modernize infrastructure and improve resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment.

In the UK, the investment highlights the strategic importance of supporting globally competitive deep technology companies, and the role of public-private partnerships in turning innovation into commercial success.
