Loginext was a privately held logistics and field service automation company, founded in 2014, with legal entities including Loginext Solutions Inc. in the U.S. and Loginext Solutions Private Limited in India. The company was co-headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Mumbai, India. It was a venture-backed startup, having raised approximately $50 million from investors such as Tiger Global Management, Steadview Capital, and Alibaba Group. In mid-2024, after a decade of operations, the company reportedly liquidated, selling its assets to a U.S. entity named Stellation Inc. for $250,000. An associated Indian entity is now listed with a "Strike Off" status.
As an operating company, Loginext provided a cloud-based, AI-powered Delivery Automation Platform. Its main software-as-a-service (SaaS) products, including LogiNext Mile and LogiNext Haul, offered solutions for last-mile, first-mile, and long-haul logistics. The platform provided features such as route optimization, real-time package tracking, automated dispatching, and delivery validation. Loginext targeted enterprise clients across various sectors, including courier services, e-commerce, retail, and quick-service restaurants, with customers that included KFC, Starbucks, and McDonald's.
Loginext's patent litigation history consists of defending its operations as a defendant in one tracked case. It was sued by Shipping and Transit, LLC, an entity widely described as a prolific patent assertion entity or "patent troll." The case concerned patents related to package tracking. Loginext challenged the validity of the asserted patent as being directed to an abstract idea under the Supreme Court's Alice decision. Following this challenge, Shipping & Transit dismissed the lawsuit against Loginext, which paid nothing to the plaintiff. This outcome was consistent with Shipping & Transit's broader litigation pattern of dismissing cases when defendants mounted a significant defense.
