Each year, Australia wastes around 7.6 million tonnes of food—enough to fill the MCG nine times over. It’s a staggering figure that not only impacts our environment and economy but also highlights serious inefficiencies within the supply chain. We believe logistics plays a powerful role in the fight against food waste—and we’re committed to driving change through more sustainable solutions.

Why Food Waste Happens

‍

‍Food waste in logistics typically happens due to a few key factors: poor handling, temperature mismanagement, inefficient route planning, and lack of real-time visibility. When fresh produce or perishable goods are delayed,improperly stored, or left to spoil due to unexpected issues in transit, the result is product loss, extra costs and food waste.

Enter Logistics Innovation

‍

‍Fortunately, advances in logistics technology and infrastructure are reducing the amount of food waste. We have invested heavily in systems and services designed to reduce food waste across the supply chain.

‍

Here’s how:

Temperature Controlled Storage & Transport

Not all perishable goods are created equal. Our fleet of tri-temperature trucks allows for simultaneous chilled, frozen, and ambient transport, ensuring that everything from seafood to fresh fruit stays at its optimal temperature from warehouse to delivery.

Depot-Level Consolidation‍

By consolidating deliveries at the depot level, we reduce unnecessary transfers, minimise handling errors, and cut down on spoilage caused by delays or poor coordination.

Real-Time Tracking & Monitoring‍

We offer advanced tracking systems that allow clients to monitor shipments in real-time, ensuring temperature stability and route progress every step of the way. Any anomalies are flagged and addressed before they become costly issues.

Smarter Route Planning‍

Delays kill freshness. Our route optimisation software ensures deliveries are made using the fastest, most efficient path—reducing dwell time and keeping goods moving.

A Shared Responsibility

‍

Reducing food waste isn’t just good for business—it’s good for the planet. By improving logistics operations, companies can reduce their carbon footprint,save money, and help address one of the biggest sustainability challenges.
