BRISBANE, QLD — Digital freight forwarding innovator Explorate has achieved an elite national milestone, securing the 29th position in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Australia awards.
Now in its 23rd year, the prestigious program ranks and celebrates Australia’s fastest-growing public and private technology companies based on their percentage revenue growth over a consecutive three-year period. Explorate secured its top-30 placement by demonstrating a spectacular 1,263% revenue growth rate, solidifying its position as a dominant force driving the modernization of global supply chains.

Explorate’s meteoric rise comes during a broader macroeconomic shift. According to the Deloitte report, financial volatility, inflation, and global logistics friction have forced modern businesses to pivot sharply toward digitization, automation, and data visibility to remain resilient.
By replacing fragmented, offline legacy logistics operations with an open digital operating system, Explorate has allowed over a hundred high-volume corporate shippers to instantly automate quotes, track multi-modal cargo in real time, and monitor carbon emission footprints.
"Securing the 29th spot on the Deloitte Tech Fast 50 is a massive testament to our team’s execution and the scalability of our platform," said Conor Hagan, Co-CEO of Explorate. "In a volatile global market, shippers are no longer treating supply chain data as an afterthought—they are treating it as a core competitive advantage. Our growth simply mirrors the industry’s massive structural shift toward automation."
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 has historically served as a reliable predictor of future global tech powerhouses, with notable alumni including the likes of Atlassian, Afterpay, NextDC, WiseTech Global, and Realestate.com.au.
"The Tech Fast 50 companies have not only defied the odds in a challenging environment, but their adaptability and resilience are paving the way for new open, collaborative and innovative ways of working, solidifying their position as leaders in the tech industry," said Josh Tanchel, Deloitte Tech Fast 50 Program Partner Lead.
For Explorate, the national recognition sets up a massive launchpad for its upcoming international expansion, with the platform aggressively rolling out its data-driven logistics infrastructure across New Zealand, Singapore, and the wider Asia-Pacific territory.

- Centralised visibility: Whether you are shipping via sea, air, road or rail, every milestone, live ETA and document is automatically uploaded to your central dashboard. No more messy spreadsheets or endless email threads.
- A tech-powered local team: While the platform automates your tracking and analytics, a dedicated Explorate operations expert manages your account. They handle the physical logistics, port operations and customs clearance, working as an extension of your internal team.
- Complete fginancial & environmental control: All your quotes, charges and invoices are stored side-by-side with your shipments for complete financial transparency. You can also track your Scope 3 carbon emissions as easily as you track your containers.
Ultimate flexibility: Already have another forwarder for certain routes? You can still use the Explorate platform to track all your cargo in one place simply by entering the container number.
Most “tracking” is a static link or a delayed email. It tells you where the vessel was, not what you need to do next. Explorate gives you:
- Live vessel tracking for your ocean shipments.
- A clear event timeline: departed, transshipped, delayed, arrived.
- Alerts when something changes that actually needs your attention.
So instead of “I’ll chase the forwarder and get back to you”, you can answer “Where’s that container?” in a few seconds, with confidence.
Yes, absolutely! You can request a personalised shipping quote directly through our website.
Here is how our streamlined process works:
- Fill out the questionnaire: Enter your basic cargo details, origin, and destination, and other special requirements.
- Choose your priority: Because we know every shipment is different, we will provide options tailored to your specific objectives—whether your priority is speed, cost, or sustainability.
- Specialist review: If your cargo has special requirements, one of our logistics specialists will personally reach out to assist you with the details to ensure we are the perfect fit for your needs.
- Full transparency: Once finalised, you will receive a custom quote featuring a complete breakdown of all charges.
