CargoWise buys software vendor Translogix

   CargoWise, a provider of technology offerings for logistics service providers (LSPs), said this week it has acquired Australia’s domestic transport and logistics software developer TransLogix.
   The company said the deal will give it a domestic transport system and knowledge base to pair with its existing international software expertise.
   “The addition of the TransLogix domestic transport software skills to our platform will not only boost our business, it will give customers all aspects of freight operations door to door, road, rail, air and sea, and across borders from a single global vendor,” said CargoWise Chief Executive Officer Richard White. 
   TransLogix’s founder and CEO Anselm Waterfield will lead the integration and transition of the business.
   “We will be able to harness a unique mix of deep expertise and proven capabilities that meet the needs of our customers,” Waterfield said. “There is an exciting and rewarding future ahead for all stakeholders.”
   CargoWise has been expanding in a variety of markets so far this year. It recently added support and expanded products to serve the Canadian and Northern European markets thanks to deals with companies C.S. World Cargo 2000 and Independent Transport & Shipping AB (ITS) around its ediEnterprise application. TransLogix has also been expanding its support and services around mobility and price control, including the recent addition of a warehouse management service from a partnership with Accellos.
   CargoWise currently has more than 4,000 customer sites in more than 75 countries and is a product brand of WiseTechGlobal, an international technology development company.
