Mumbai, Jun 6 (PTI) GIC Singapore-backed B2B logistics optimisation startup Locus on Monday announced the launch of its order-to-delivery management platform for last-mile operations.

"In today's competitive landscape, quick and on-time deliveries are non-negotiable to customer satisfaction, retention and growth. But while many companies might see last-mile logistics as simply a means to an end, they might not realise that optimising these efforts can actually contribute to the bottom line," said Nishith Rastogi, founder-CEO of Locus.

Founded in 2015 and backed by GIC Singapore, Tiger Global, Qualcomm Ventures and Falcon Edge, Locus claims to help a wide range of customers globally across industries, including Unilever, Nestle, Bukalapak, Tata Group and BlueDart, among others.
