PIESHIP

PIESHIP is a technology-driven logistics company operating in Saudi Arabia, specializing in smart last-mile delivery solutions. Founded in late 2023 by Nasser Alharthi, who serves as the CEO, along with Musaed Al-Amri and Mohammed Mohsen, the company aims to address inefficiencies in the final stage of the delivery process. PIESHIP targets other businesses, primarily last-mile delivery companies and e-commerce merchants, by providing a platform to optimize their logistics operations.

The company's core offering is a platform that connects shipping companies with a network of crowdsourced drivers, referred to as "captains". It utilizes artificial intelligence to manage this network and to power its logistics system. The AI-driven engine handles shipment analysis, dynamically sorts packages, and optimizes delivery routes to increase speed and efficiency. For its clients, PIESHIP offers warehouse management solutions and an application for delivering shipments, designed to be a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional logistics. The service provides real-time tracking for customers, delivery notifications, a confirmed four-hour delivery window, and photographic proof of delivery. The company has also established partnerships with financial technology firms like Lin Technologies and Nabeer Financial to offer smooth payment and cash flow management services to its clients.

Since its inception, PIESHIP has demonstrated rapid growth, having delivered over 600,000 shipments and expanded its driver network to more than 1,200 within its first year. The startup secured an undisclosed pre-seed investment in early 2024, followed by a significant seed funding round of $2.1 million in February 2025, led by Nama Ventures with participation from SEEDRA Ventures and angel investors. This capital is intended to fuel expansion into seven major cities across Saudi Arabia, including Jeddah and Makkah, and to grow its driver network to 5,000 captains. The company has also participated in and received recognition from several accelerator programs, such as STC's InspireU, the Musk Accelerator, and the National Information Technology Development Program's MVPlap.
