Locus Overview

What is Locus?

Locus is a logistics optimization platform designed to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency across various industries, including retail and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Established in 2015 by Nishith Rastogi and Geet Garg, Locus has transitioned from its origins as a women's safety geo-tracking application to a comprehensive solution that addresses the complexities of modern logistics. The platform aims to provide businesses with the tools necessary to streamline their supply chain processes and improve overall fulfillment execution. Targeting retailers and logistics providers, Locus offers an end-to-end solution that facilitates seamless delivery from any location, whether it be a local store or international borders. The platform's patented routing and geocoding engines are designed to optimize every stage of the supply chain. By integrating captive, contracted, and carrier fleets across the first, middle, and final mile, Locus ensures that businesses can achieve cost efficiency while maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. Key features of Locus include precise geolocation capabilities, hybrid fleet management, and dynamic route optimization. These tools work together to enhance fulfillment accuracy, flexibility, and predictability, allowing retailers to navigate the complexities of logistics with greater ease. The platform provides complete shipment visibility, which eliminates uncertainty for retailers, fleet partners, and distributors, thus fostering a more transparent supply chain environment. Locus has gained the trust of leading global brands, including Unilever and Nestlé, executing over a billion deliveries across more than 30 countries. The company is committed to innovation and sustainable growth, continuously evolving its solutions to meet the demands of the logistics landscape. As artificial intelligence and automation play an increasingly significant role in the industry, Locus is poised to streamline operations from pre-purchase fulfillment to post-delivery support, transforming complex supply chains into strategic growth enablers for businesses worldwide.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Locus sets itself apart as a comprehensive logistics SaaS platform designed for seamless, multichannel retail fulfillment across all miles, modes, and channels.

With a strong foundation in last-mile routing, Locus has evolved to support both captive and outsourced fleets, ensuring consistent performance and adaptability across delivery networks. By integrating all miles, legs, modes, and channels into a single intelligent ecosystem, Locus eliminates silos and optimizes fulfillment end to end.

By prioritizing fulfillment over procurement and leveraging automation, predictive intelligence, and cost optimization, Locus enables businesses to enhance efficiency, reduce operational complexity, and meet customer expectations with precision.
