"Explorate has been an integral part of Merry People’s success for the past 3 years. Their tech-forward approach to freight forwarding has allowed us to seamlessly manage our shipments from quoting to receiving, giving us complete visibility at every stage of the process. Thanks to their global expertise in cross-trade shipments, Explorate has helped Merry People not just scale in Australia but expand into the US and UK."

Tim White

Head of Operations

“The actual software and the whole way the system runs, we've been craving that for years. We would ask and we just couldn't ever get straight answers. And Explorate's just completely taken that out for us. It's obviously been a game changer for me because it's just less things to worry about. It's so much easier to take data in and just visualise it straight away.”
