London, UK, 3 July 2026 – Satalia is delighted to announce it has been named Technology Company of the Year in the prestigious Multimodal Awards 2026. 

Recognising excellence across air, road, rail, maritime and freight forwarding, the awards are independently decided by thousands of readers of the Multimodal Newsletter and visitors to the annual Multimodal show, making the accolades especially meaningful.

The Technology Company of the Year Award

The Technology Company of the Year Award is an opportunity for entrants to shout about a specific project or product involving innovative and compelling use of technology to deliver significant successes for clients or end users. 

For this year’s entry, Satalia focused on its revolutionary use of AI to transform leading retailers’ complex, manually supported last-mile delivery networks into cloud-based AI route optimisation platforms, capable of planning and adjusting routes in real time.

Built over two decades, Satalia’s optimisation AI expertise is able to factor in limitless variables, including vehicle capacity, driver skills, traffic conditions, service times and customer preferences, to enable thousands of delivery decisions to be made in just minutes. The projects submitted for the Technology Company of the Year Award were perfect examples of how Satalia’s unique brand of AI can be implemented to revolutionary effect.

Award-worthy outcomes

As a result, operational improvements were generated across the board, with clients experiencing substantial gains in ‘on-the-road’ efficiency, cost savings, enhanced workforce stability, reduced vehicle emissions, improved operational control and a more flexible customer experience.

In one instance, the impact was so significant that the project facilitated the creation of an entirely new separate enterprise, turning a former cost centre into a revenue-generating engine.

These outcomes illustrate how the innovative use of AI can turn delivery performance into a competitive advantage and deliver measurable financial, environmental, employee and customer results that reflect each business’ long-term vision when adopted at scale.

“Winning Technology Company of the Year at Multimodal means a great deal,” comments Daniel Hulme, CEO of Satalia.

“Satalia was built on a single conviction: that the hardest operational problems in the world are solvable, and that rigorous application of the right technology is how you solve them. This is recognition for everyone in the Satalia team who works tirelessly to hold to this standard. Thank you to Multimodal for recognising their efforts.”
