Dr Tevin Tobun was recently featured in The Times, highlighting how his latest venture, Routd, is transforming supply-chain operations through intelligent logistics technology.
In the feature, Tobun shares insights from his journey scaling GV Group into a major logistics provider and how those lessons have shaped Routd’s approach to solving inefficiencies across modern supply chains.
The article explores how Routd is already powering more than 5,000 deliveries a day, using data and machine learning to help organisations better predict demand, optimise routes and match drivers to jobs.
Reflecting on his approach, Tobun emphasises the importance of agility and innovation when working with large organisations:
“We thought, ‘How do we create a world where technology sits at the front of everything we’re trying to do?’
Routd’s platform enables businesses to anticipate demand rather than react to it - factoring in real-time variables such as customer behaviour, delivery patterns and even external conditions like weather.
The feature also highlights how the business is supporting major organisations across the UK, US and Europe, including collaborations with global logistics leaders and high-street brands. By combining predictive technology with operational flexibility, Routd allows companies to scale delivery operations without the cost and complexity of building their own infrastructure.
Tobun reinforces his well-known “speedboat mentality,” explaining that smaller, more agile systems are better positioned to adapt quickly and deliver consistent value in fast-moving environments.
The article underscores why adaptability, data-driven decision-making and continuous innovation are becoming critical for businesses navigating economic pressure and changing customer demands.
