CEMEX Ventures announced today its investment in LINKX, a
company that offers specialized software to optimize goods
delivery. The company’s software solution allows control of
deliveries and vehicles in real time, allowing for data-based
decision-making and facilitating communication and information
among all involved parties: shipper, carrier, and receiver. Within
the increasingly busy technological world of logistics, LINKX
stands out for its user-friendly interface, robustness and
convenient integration, and customer-centric focus.
With LINKX, shippers or freight generators plan deliveries in a
simple way, allowing them to assign operations to their own
carriers or third parties. In addition, to enable visibility of
shipment status and vehicles’ location in real time, LINKX
digitizes delivery vouchers, provides administrative advantages,
and fosters fluidity in the billing process. Another distinguishing
function of this delivery optimization software is its analytical
reports that offer data-based conclusions about its logistic
operation.
Another segment that benefits from this platform are drivers.
LINKX allows drivers to schedule their performed services and
functions as a co-pilot that optimizes their routes. This tool is
able to collect signatures and offer graphic evidence for proof of
digital delivery. Through LINKX, customers receive merchandise very
easily, are informed at all times of the delivery process, and
receive the same digital receipt. The platform allows them to
assess the service, improve trust, and provide feedback to shippers
and carriers.
CEMEX Ventures’ portfolio grows. "This investment is a clear
example of our offer. LINKX came to us at a very early stage, and
together, we worked on continuous improvements by reinforcing their
minimum viable product and offering continuous feedback on our
knowledge of industry and technology. After numerous optimizations,
we have piloted this solution with several CEMEX clients to achieve
a very robust solution for the supply chain management challenge,"
said Gonzalo Galindo, CEO of CEMEX Ventures.
LINKX, which currently operates in the Mexican and Spanish
markets, explores new sectors beyond construction. It is expected
that its results’ efficiency, confidence, and visibility position
it close to generating important sales, transforming it into a
leading software solution specializing in delivery
optimization.
Launched in 2017, CEMEX Ventures focuses on helping to solve the
main challenges and areas of opportunity for the construction
ecosystem through sustainable solutions. CEMEX Ventures has created
an open and collaborative platform to lead the construction
industry revolution by engaging startups, entrepreneurs,
