Ljubljana/Prague, March 16 – ARX Equity Partners (“ARX”) has become a lead investor in Direct4me, d.o.o. (“Direct4me” or the “Company”), a technology company specialising in the design and manufacture of smart parcel locker systems supported by proprietary software enabling secure, automated, and carrier-agnostic last-mile delivery. The Company provides an integrated hardware and SaaS platform that enables logistics operators, postal services, and commercial partners to deploy flexible out-of-home delivery networks. Direct4me’s engineers and technology specialists develop the hardware and the proprietary software in-house, supporting deployments across multiple European markets.

Founded in 2018, Direct4me has developed into a fast-growing provider of battery-powered autonomous parcel locker infrastructure.

Direct4me works with logistics partners such as Austrian Post, DPD, DHL and national postal operators, supporting the expansion of modern out-of-home delivery networks.

Innovation remains central to the Company’s development, with the rollout of new capabilities that expand the functionality of locker infrastructure beyond traditional parcel delivery. These include integrated payment functionality allowing transactions directly at the locker interface through Direct4Pay, as well as AI-enabled communication tools enabling remote interaction between users and operators via Direct4Talk. The Company is also continuing the deployment of its Gen5 locker platform, featuring enhanced component architecture, simplified installation, and lower operating and maintenance requirements. Direct4me is led by its CEO, Tadej Visinski, who continues to guide the Company’s strategic development alongside the founding team, supported by a team of engineers and technology specialists responsible for advancing the platform.

The investment will support Direct4me in the next phase of scaling its autonomous locker infrastructure, strengthening product development and expanding its commercial footprint across key European markets.
