Overview
FreightHub is a digital freight forwarder in New Zealand that runs an online marketplace linking shippers with a network of transport operators, from independent carriers to large logistics firms. The platform provides instant quotes and uses real-time capacity data to fill empty truck space, offering lower-cost options for shippers and better fleet utilization for carriers. All freight processes are managed online, including consignment notes, electronic sign-offs, tracking, and reporting, giving customers end-to-end visibility from pickup to delivery. Its goal is to digitize and optimize NZ domestic freight between the North and South Islands, making shipping simpler, cheaper, and more transparent.
