Our story

We Work Hard to Make Things Easier for You

From real-time tracking to route optimization, we help businesses across industries streamline their delivery operations.

Dropon’s story begins in 2012, when Anthony Viaene and a group of friends have a bold idea: to launch an ecological delivery service in Ghent. They specialize in last mile deliveries with cargo bikes and electric vehicles, and name the company Bubble Post. The concept quickly gets a lot of traction, which forces them to look for a quick and efficient last mile delivery software to organize and streamline their daily deliveries.

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

In 2017, Bpost – the Belgian postal company – acquires Bubble Post. Following the acquisition, Anthony takes time to reflect on the potential of Dropon beyond its original use case. That’s when he asks his former hockey teammate, Jonathan Carette, who had been working internationally for BNP Paribas, to join this new business adventure. Together, they found a new company named Dropon.

Since then, Dropon has grown into a mature and reliable partner for businesses across Belgium and the Netherlands. Its mission is clear: to help companies optimize their route planning, gain full control over their last-mile deliveries, and elevate the customer experience.

In 2025, StarApps joins Dropon as a shareholder. The company, founded by tech entrepreneurs Lorenz Bogaert and Nicolas Van Eenaeme, is known for its involvement with high-potential SaaS start-ups and scale-ups in Ghent. Their strategic involvement and operational expertise provide Dropon with valuable guidance to further tailor its software for specific industries and accelerate market expansion.

“With StarApps as our new shareholder, we’re entering a new chapter,” says Anthony Viaene. “Our ambition is to grow internationally, starting with the Netherlands, where we already have a strong foundation.”
