A Last Mile Digital Forwarder for IKEA, Decathlon, Migros and Metro (Aike Festini, CEO and Co-Founder, Luckabox)

Aike Festini is CEO and Co-Founder of Luckabox, an innovative startup from Switzerland. Over 40% of delivery costs are incurred during the last miles of the delivery process. Here, traditional delivery services often experience problems with coordination. Luckabox is helping prominent brands and retailers like IKEA, Decathlon, Migros and Metro with this last, essential phase of the delivery process. Luckabox coordinates all steps necessary for an efficient and cost-effective delivery. Aike and her team consider themselves a “Last Mile Digital Forwarder”. In this episode of The Logistics Tribe Podcast, Aike gives our host Dana von der Heide a behind-the-scene look at how she and her team have built the company from scratch, what the major pain points are that they serve for their customers, where the company is headed next, and much more.
