How Swiss-based Arqh is getting Logistics on Autopilot Mode

Arqh, the Decision Intelligence Engine that translates your business goals into real-time operational decisions, led by Antonia Unger and Mert Erkul, has secured $3.8 million pre-seed round led by Founderful, with participation from Merantix Capital.

The funding will enable Arqh to grow its engineering and research teams and fast-track the development of its next-generation “decision intelligence” engine. In just 14 weeks since its launch, Arqh reports that its AI platform has helped logistics teams cut fleet operating costs by more than 15% and reduce manual planning efforts by approximately 80%.

Arqh stands out by prioritizing explainability and adaptability. Its AI-powered Command Tower lets dispatchers prioritize urgent deliveries and quickly simulate thousands of scenarios to produce cost-efficient, easy-to-understand plans. The platform combines large language models with a “hybrid agentic” engine to generate optimal routing, even amid traffic, accidents, or last-minute changes.

Looking ahead, Arqh aims to expand R&D, integrate further with fleet management software, and partner on designs to support larger, more dynamic logistics networks.
