This deal marks ASG’s 40th acquisition to date, and its fourth within the ASG Logistics Technology vertical. PackageRoute joins e-Courier, acquired in 2018, Record360, also acquired in 2018, and Trucker Tools, acquired earlier this year.
PackageRoute was founded in 2017 by Pankaj Nauriyal with a mission to help all service providers streamline their operations. Started with a focus on independent service providers, PackageRoute technology seamlessly integrates with pickup and delivery data, creating value through its mobile and web-based app by empowering last-mile delivery operators and drivers with up to the minute information about their operations. With PackageRoute, last-mile operators can balance their daily volume, monitor their route progress, prioritize their deliveries and manage their assets, all of which saves them time and maximizes their profits.
“ASG’s deep expertise in growing vertical SaaS businesses, backed by Alpine Investors’ resources, makes them an ideal partner to lead PackageRoute through its next growth cycle,” said Pankaj Nauriyal, Founder and CEO of PackageRoute. “Given our strong alignment in values, PackageRoute customers will continue to benefit from the product innovations and responsive service they have come to expect from us. We are thrilled to be part of ASG and are excited about what we are going to achieve together.”
