IN A WORLD dominated by tech giants and global logistics platforms, Trexity is cutting a new path—one that champions small businesses and local communities. Co-founded by Alok Ahuja, Trexity is a Canadian-born delivery platform built on a simple but powerful mission: to help local businesses thrive.
I met Alok a little over a year ago and I was completely blown away by his vision and business acumen. Now a year or so later, I’m no less impressed. The guy is just built differently.
Many believe his efforts through Trexity will be significant, not only in the Ottawa area but on a national scale. Some have suggested “this will be the Shopify of logistics.” And based on where this business is going, I’d say they’re right!
“What drives us is the idea that strong relationships are built in times of need,” says Ahuja. “They need us, and we need them. It’s about creating a delivery solution that uplifts—not undercuts—small and medium businesses.”
The Trexity platform was born from a realization that many small retailers were being left behind. They couldn’t afford the steep fees of traditional delivery giants like Uber or Canada Post, or the cost of using their own employees to deliver. “I saw businesses opting out of delivery altogether,” Ahuja recalls. “I knew there was a technology solution that could be built to better support them.” And there was.
Trexity offers a fast, affordable, and easy-to-use delivery service that allows merchants to sign up in minutes and start shipping that same day. With a Merchant Success Team that guides businesses from onboarding to optimization, Trexity removes the guesswork from logistics. “We make adding delivery as easy as flipping on a light switch,” Ahuja says. But what truly sets Trexity apart is their philosophy. The company doesn’t seek the spotlight—it lets the merchant shine. “We power their brand, quietly.” Ahuja explains. “They stay front and centre, and their customers get a fast, seamless delivery experience that keeps them coming back.”
The platform is up to 90% cheaper than traditional delivery services, making it a game-changer for businesses. Whether delivering vital medicine across town or flowers for a last-minute anniversary gift, Trexity picks it up and drops it off the same day—zero hassles.
For Ahuja, this work is personal. “I’m doing my life’s work here,” he shares. “I want my children to grow up seeing what community building looks like. When we show up for local businesses, we’re showing up for each other—and that’s what being Canadian is all about.
Trexity isn’t just solving a logistics problem. It’s rewriting the playbook on how local economies can thrive—one delivery at a time.
