Capstone Logistics, LLC announced the closing of a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of MileZero, Inc., a Seattle, Washington-based software company providing logistics tools to the last mile delivery industry. MileZero was founded in 2014 by Charles Griffith, the former Vice President of Transportation Technology at Amazon. He was responsible for the development of several of Amazon’s last mile solutions including sort centers and final mile delivery worldwide. Through MileZero, Capstone expands its last mile capabilities and establishes a broader international footprint, adding operations in Australia. The market in the U.S. and abroad for last mile delivery is developing rapidly and represents a significant growth engine for the Company.

“I am excited about the opportunity to add this cutting-edge technology developed by Charles Griffith and his team to the Capstone portfolio,” said Steve Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Capstone. “The combination of MileZero software and Capstone’s industry-leading executional capabilities allows us to provide our partners with a seamless, end-to-end, last mile delivery solution.”
