MaxOptra serves over 450 customers optimising more than 6,000 vehicles daily across 26 industry sectors including food & beverage, construction, logistics, and waste management. Founded in 2012 and based in London with operations in Brighton, the platform addresses operational challenges for mid-market fleet operators managing distribution, service, and delivery operations.
The acquisition complements Access's ERP Specialised (Supply Chain & Logistics) portfolio, which focuses on solutions for businesses managing the flow of physical goods across supply chains. Route optimisation represents a capability that Access customers in waste management, distribution, and warehousing sectors have identified as an operational priority.
MaxOptra's platform combines AI-driven route planning algorithms with real-time vehicle tracking, electronic proof of delivery, and automated customer communications. The solution aims to reduce operational costs while improving on-time delivery performance for businesses operating fleets of 10 to 200+ vehicles. Integration partnerships with leading telematics and mapping providers enable the platform to work within existing fleet technology ecosystems.
Lucy Pamment, General Manager of Access ERP Specialised (Supply Chain & Logistics), commented: "We're delighted to welcome MaxOptra into our ERP division. Route optimisation addresses a requirement we consistently hear from customers across our waste management, distribution, and warehousing portfolios. MaxOptra's technology and focus on mid-market operators align well with our focus on businesses managing complex supply chain operations.
