Saudi-based logistics technology startup Routech Express has successfully closed a SAR 3.75 million (approximately $1 million) Pre-Seed funding round. The investment was led by Q Fund with participation from a group of angel investors, and will be used to accelerate the company’s growth, expand its services, and further develop its technology platform.
Fueling Expansion in a Booming Market
The funding arrives as the regional logistics and shipping sector experiences significant growth, largely driven by the boom in e-commerce and increasing demand for transparent and efficient shipping solutions. Routech Express aims to capitalize on this trend by scaling its integrated shipping ecosystem that serves both individuals and businesses.
Abdullah bin Muammar, Chairman of the Board, commented on the timing of the investment.
“This round comes at a time when the logistics and shipping sector is witnessing rapid growth, driven by the boom in e-commerce and rising demand for faster, more flexible, and transparent shipping solutions. Routech Express has achieved strong growth in order volume and expanded its customer base by offering an integrated shipping ecosystem that serves both individuals and businesses through a single digital platform and application.”
A Vision for Simplified Shipping
At its core, Routech Express is focused on reducing the complexities of shipping for its customers. The platform provides a single interface for instant price comparison, booking, payment, and real-time shipment tracking across multiple carriers, transforming the process into a simple digital experience.
“Closing a Pre-Seed round worth one million dollars marks an important milestone in Routech Express’s journey and reflects investors’ confidence in our vision and the scale of opportunity in the Saudi market,” said CEO Jihad Al-Dawood.
“From the beginning, our focus has been on building a technology platform that reduces shipping complexity for customers and transforms shipping into a simple, transparent digital experience. This investment will help us accelerate product development, expand integrations with shipping companies, and enhance service quality and coverage.”
