It all started in 2012. Anthony Viaene and his friends had the crazy idea to start an ecological delivery service in Ghent. They called it Bubble Post. They specialized in last mile deliveries using cargo-bikes and electric vehicles. The company quickly got a lot of traction, which forced them to look for a quick and efficient last mile delivery software to organize and streamline their daily deliveries.

The team couldn’t find anything suitable on the market, so they thought why not have another crazy idea and develop a system of our own? Dropon was born. While Bubble Post was expanding its operations across the Benelux, Dropon was running in the background as a sophisticated and elaborate route planning tool.

In 2017, Bpost – the Belgian postal company – acquired Bubble Post. After a period of reflection, Anthony explored options to expand the applicability of Dropon to other companies and market segments. This is where Anthony asked his old hockey-teammate Jonathan Carette, previously working abroad for BNP Paribas, to join the new adventure. Together they founded a new company, Dropon.

Soon Dropon started steadily flourishing into a mature company, with customers from different sectors across Belgium and the Netherlands. Its mission is to help companies optimize their last mile deliveries and take control of their route planning and monitoring. Above all, their smart and easy-to-use route planning tools are built to ensure the best delivery experience for customers.
