Evermile was founded in 2022, with a clear mission in mind: to help local businesses overcome the complexity and cost of local delivery.
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, accounting for over 95% of all businesses and representing 50% of global GDP. There are more than 32M small businesses in the EU and over 5.5M in the UK itself.
These businesses, however, are at a disadvantage, especially now that delivery has become essential to every type of small business. Many owner/operator-led SMBs have limited time, manpower, commercial leverage, or logistical expertise. They are unable to offer the flexibility and delivery experience consumers crave and find themselves ill-equipped to compete with big retail brands and eCommerce giants. The current delivery options available to small businesses are simply not built to meet their needs.

The current delivery options available to small businesses are simply not built to meet their needs.
This is where Evermile comes in. We are the first local delivery platform built specifically for small businesses. Through our platform, we simplify and automate complex delivery operations, allowing small businesses to focus on what they do best: delivering great products and services to their customers.
Our platform leverages two unique components: an intuitive and easy-to-use platform, and advanced optimization and mobility-driven algorithms. We leverage this technology to unite small businesses and aggregate deliveries, slashing delivery costs by 30-50%. This means that small businesses can now offer affordable delivery options to their customers without breaking the bank.
We are not just another last-mile solution. We are incorporating advanced mobility tech in a novel way that prioritizes business collaboration and equips independent retailers with the edge they need to thrive in a highly-competitive marketplace. Our optimization engine matches merchants to the right delivery partner for each task, instantly analyzing order preferences and constraints, including locations, distance to delivery, the type of goods, and the customer's preferred timescale to receive their purchases, ranging from on-demand, next day to custom or scheduled dates.
We are thrilled to have already partnered with over 300 local merchants across the UK, and we are energized by the impact we bring to their businesses every day. Our solution has helped many small businesses increase revenue, grow their customer base, and stay competitive in an increasingly challenging marketplace.
Take, for example, a small florist in London. Before Evermile, they had to rely on their own delivery fleet or pay a high cost for external delivery vendors. This was both expensive and time-consuming. With Evermile, they now have access to a single delivery platform that can power all their delivery needs in a simple, flexible, customizable, and cost-effective manner. Our optimization engine matches them with the right delivery partner for each task, ensuring that their deliveries are always on time and cost-effective.
We are proud to be making a big impact on small businesses across the UK and believe that Evermile has the potential to revolutionize the way local delivery is done.
