PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga., Oct. 3, 2019 — Capstone Logistics, LLC (“Capstone” or the “Company”) today announced the closing of a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of MileZero, Inc. (collectively, “MileZero”), a Seattle, Washington-based software company providing logistics tools to the last mile delivery industry.
