SmartFreight® is the easier way to manage your shipping needs. Our suite of shipping solutions puts hundreds of possible transport providers and routes at your fingertips, offering total flexibility, and access to the information you need, every step of the way. - We give you complete control. All our solutions come with route optimisation. So whether you’re focused on price, service or environme

ntal impact, you can find the most effective shipping method. All solutions are designed to be flexible, so when your needs change, we evolve with you. Let’s face it. If you’re in the business of designing, making, producing, or selling, shipping is a crucial link in the supply chain and is often the difference between a great customer experience and a bad one. It’s a vital part of your service offering, but something you rarely have full control over. Once a shipment leaves your warehouse, store or supplier it’s out of your hands. Not anymore. So in 1997, we set about changing things for the better. An early believer in using disruptive technology to improve customer experience, we created one of Australia’s first generic multi-carrier shipping systems. We became a market leader, by putting the customer first, and helping them take back control, with a system that offered versatility, transparency, accountability and efficiency. Your own freight rates with your chosen transport providers are loaded by our team to give you the choice you need when you need it. You are still in control of the commercial relationship with your transport providers, not a 3rd party that may have a vested interest promoting certain transport providers.

In the UK, Uber drivers are considered "workers," not "employees," following a landmark Supreme Court ruling. This means they are entitled to certain employment rights like the National Minimum Wage and holiday pay, but they are not full employees with all the associated benefits. This ruling, which followed a lengthy legal battle, has implications for other companies in the gig economy. https://www.cluerhr.co.uk/uber-drivers-are-indeed-workers/ #:~:text=It's%20been%20a%20longstanding%20battle%20between%20Uber,indeed%20'workers'.%20Why%20is%20this%20so%20important?

Medical can be a life or death situation. By land, a medical parcel will take 4 hours to reach this dense mountainous area. Instead, the journey took just 18 minutes by drone. Drones helped reduce the birth mortality rate by 50% in these remote hospitals; the drones also deliver antivenom, tuberculosis vaccines and blood samples.

In hard-to-reach areas, the fast-moving tech is streamlining emergency deliveries, from blood for transfusions to snakebite antivenom.

IKEA rethinks by leveraging river boats along the Seine in Paris. IKEA estimates it saves 5 times the CO2 that road delivery causes by avoiding around 300.000 km. on Parisian roads annually. E-vehicles are used after the parcels are offloaded from the boats. The French government supports the project financially and logistically as part of a wider program to further utilize navigable waterways in France. https://www.ingka.com/newsroom/ikea-launches-deliveries-in-paris-via-the-seine/

Last-mile fleets are spearheading electrification in India (the world’s most populated country.) Unlike Europe and N. America, India's delivery fleets heavily leverage 2 and 3-wheeled light e-vehicles instead of cars. The rise of EV fleets is driven by both environmental and economic benefits. An EV 3-wheeler is 25% cheaper than its diesel counterpart and has less emissions.

Last-mile fleets are leading the 2030 goals of nationwide electrification in India.
