About FreightTech
Freight in Australia is a massive market, yet it is largely analogue and has many inefficiencies. Trucks often drive empty, networks lack transparency, data flows are fragmented, and smaller transport operators face barriers to competing with the big players.
We're changing how the freight industry operates by leveraging technology, data, and strategic partnerships to connect customers with smaller, highly efficient transport operators. This isn't just logistics—it's FreightTech: a tech-powered transformation of an industry that touches everyone's lives.
