Press release:

Saudi-based logistics startup Routech Express has closed a SAR 3.75 million ($1 million) pre-seed funding round, led by Q Fund, with participation from a group of angel investors.

The funding will support Routech Express’s expansion inside and outside Saudi Arabia while accelerating the development of its unified digital shipping platform, which enables instant price comparison, booking, payments, and shipment tracking across multiple carriers through a single interface.

Founded to simplify shipping for individuals and businesses, Routech Express is positioning itself as a one-stop digital layer for logistics, addressing growing demand driven by e-commerce growth and the need for faster, more transparent shipping services in the Kingdom.

The round follows Routech Express’s earlier win at the Al-Alf Mile Program, part of Saudi Arabia’s National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP), reinforcing its alignment with Vision 2030 goals around logistics automation and digital transformation.

According to the company, the new capital will be used to expand carrier integrations, enhance platform capabilities, improve service quality and coverage, and support merchants and businesses with more flexible, technology-driven shipping tools as they scale locally and internationally.
