About Us

At Explorate we believe that the true power of international freight has yet to be unlocked. We are passionate about changing the worlds interaction with freight and that’s why Explorate was born.

We are a team of logisticians, that don’t only know the pinch 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?”

That’s why team Explorate do things a little differently. We want your supply chain to have personality. Your personality. And we are not afraid to challenge the status quo to get you there.

We have seen the positive impact a good supply chain can have on a business. Our platform fosters the right balance between technology and people, creating a new standard for the logistics industry.

Welcome to the world of digital freight.

Welcome to Explorate.

I am a self-confessed logistics geek with a passion for technology and digitalisation. In my mind, there has never been a more exciting time to be a part of the international logistics industry.

Nick Burge

Head of Product
For me, no challenge has ever been too big or too complex to solve, which is probably why I couldn’t resist joining Explorate to change the international freight industry. At the core, I’m a tech guy with a methodical approach to developing new solutions with a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over many years working with some of Australia's fastest growing startups & businesses in their niche. With degrees in User Experience Design & Technology and experience in data-driven marketing/growth, I connect customer requirements with product features, being heavily involved throughout the process. For fun, I’ve hiked to Everest Basecamp and survived a blizzard in the Arctic on snowshoes and snow dogs.
