Zedify

Revenue is generated by providing these delivery services, which are positioned as being more efficient and sustainable than traditional van-based logistics in congested urban environments. Zedify asserts that its model offers significant carbon savings—over 80-90% per parcel compared to electric vans—and a 13% improvement in logistical efficiency. The company developed its own software platform featuring route optimization, real-time tracking, and proof of delivery to manage its operations. A key aspect of Zedify's operational ethos is its rejection of the gig economy model; it directly employs its riders and is an accredited Living Wage employer, investing in extensive training to maintain high service quality and staff retention. The company's network has included both company-run depots and franchises.

Despite raising significant funding, including a Series A round of over $5 million in July 2024 led by investors like Barclays Sustainable Impact Capital and Mercia Ventures, the company has faced financial difficulties. In early 2025, the parent company, Outspoken Logistics Ltd, went into administration due to lower-than-expected volumes and high operational costs, leading to the closure of several hubs. However, the brand has since announced a comeback with new financial backing, aiming to relaunch its sustainable delivery services, potentially through franchise opportunities in key UK cities.
