## About Explorate

Explorate is a Brisbane-based digital freight forwarding platform that offers real-time supply chain visibility and comprehensive logistics management software.

Founded in 2016 by Alex Ewart and Conor Hagan, the company provides a technology-driven alternative to traditional freight forwarders. Its platform integrates various logistics functions, including freight booking, purchase order management, and carbon footprint tracking. The SaaS platform features instant quoting and booking for ocean and air freight, real-time tracking for consolidated cargo, and automated workflows for purchase order management. Users benefit from intuitive digital dashboards that enhance visibility into logistics operations and an emissions calculator to support sustainability efforts. Explorate primarily serves importers, exporters, supply chain managers, and logistics teams, helping them streamline their operations and improve efficiency. The company is expanding globally, with plans for new offices in New Zealand, Singapore, and potentially other Southeast Asian countries.
