FreightTech is one of the most exciting spaces to be in right now, with the opportunity to transform one of the largest industries. Freight in Australia is a $66 billion market, yet it is largely analogue and inefficient: trucks often drive empty 30% of the time. Networks lack transparency, data flows are fragmented, and smaller transport operators face barriers to competing with larger players.
At Ofload, we're transforming the freight industry by leveraging technology, data, and strategic partnerships to connect blue-chip customers with smaller, efficient transport operators. Our focus is on reducing empty truck miles, enhancing visibility, and optimizing supply chains to foster smarter, greener, and more efficient operations that benefit both businesses and the environment.
This is more than logistics—it's FreightTech: a digital transformation of a vital industry that underpins the economy and impacts everyone’s lives.
