2024

2023 is on the horizon! In the spirit of finishing the year strong, we�re ending this year on a high note by celebrating the high points of the roller-coaster that was 2022. So, how did Explorate fare this trip around the sun?

The Stats

At Explorate, we want to move freight in a way that others can't. Thus, having more hands on deck allows us to build  stronger relationships with our agents and suppliers to diversify our trade-lanes. More specifically, access to this global network alongside our in-team experts gives us a huge advantage in evolving your supply chain.

180% Increase in trade lanes

244% Increase in TEU

With a team like this, anything is possible. As Explorate continues to grow, we are proud of the company culture growing alongside us. 2022 saw 33 new faces jumping on board the Explorate team to shape the future of freight forwarding.

Less than five years ago, Explorate was operating out of a garage in Brissie. Markedly, we now have offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. More office spaces means we can reach more people with our inimitable freight forwarding services. Now we have offices in Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Awards

The team has worked incredibly hard to build a culture, product and service worthy of taking Explorate from garage to global. So, when we hear our names being announced alongside the front-runners in Australian tech and businesses, it's a proud moment.  

These awards showcase where Australia's tech sector is now, where it's heading and who's taking us there.

Explorate received an Honourable Mention in the ANZ High Growth Business category.

Young Entrepreneur Awards

We picked up a trophy for the Digital Disruption Category at the Brisbane Young Entrepreneur Awards.

Deloitte Tech Fast 50 Awards

Explorate placed 10th in Deloitte's Tech Fast 50 with a growth of 1,263% between 2019 and 2022.

Taking care of our own

We know that culture is more than a casual dress code and the occasional after work event. To us, culture encompasses the attitudes, behaviors and values that drive our team to achieve new heights. Retaining the industry's top talent requires us to provide top-notch company culture.

To emphasize this, we have our talented business operations team who ignites our team's culture through company wide events, sports and learning and development.

Taking care of our customers

We are a team of logisticians, that don't only know the pain points in our industry but have lived them. Like you, we have waited days for rates and weeks for a booking. We thought, "Surely, there must be a better way?". Therefore,  it's all the more rewarding to hear the impact we're having on the businesses we work alongside.

"I had a great experience with Explorate, once you accept the quote they handle everything and you can track your order via apps. Thank you Madeleine and Jack. I will definitely be using them again."
"Went above and beyond to get this freight into Australia for us. Exceptional service and a great start to what I hope will be a very successful business partnership."
"Thanks so much. Really glad I found Explorate. Such an easy experience and they did a lot of the heavy lifting when we faced hurdles with the factory. Will definitely recommend to others."
