The delivery promise is part of the customer experience 🙂

At the recent Australasian Supply Chain and Logistics Association (ASCLA) Virtual Summit, Sam Rowse spoke about why reliability needs to sit alongside cost and speed when businesses make freight decisions.

In B2C, it shapes how a customer remembers the brand. In B2B, a missed delivery can disrupt staffing, warehouse planning and the next promise in the chain.

As Sam put it:

“The last thing that a customer or receiver remembers from you is that delivery experience. How did they feel? Did it show up on time? And that really sets the tone for the rest of the relationship.”

Honouring that delivery promise starts with understanding what the customer actually needs from the delivery, and what happens when that promise is missed.

Another round of product planning wrapped up at MachShip, with the product team getting together to work through what’s next.

Plenty of good discussion around where we’re taking the platform and what comes next.

Over the next few releases, some of those ideas will start making their way into the platform.

Plenty to look forward to. 🚀

MachShip’s Freightability Report 2026 reveals a fragmented B2B freight market in which service, pricing and capacity increasingly vary by carrier, lane and mode, challenging businesses to rethink how they manage transport networks.

At MegaTrans 2026, three of the industry voices behind the MachShip Freightability Report 2026 will come together to reflect on what's happened across the ANZ freight market since the report was published.

What are you doing at lunchtime today?

The numbers tell a story. But not always the whole story.

Today, Sam Rowse, CEO of MachShip, is joining the 2026 ASCLA Annual Virtual Summit for a fireside chat to unpack the numbers behind freight performance and take a closer look at what sits beneath the national averages.

Because what you don't see coming is often where the real insight lies.

This is one of MachShip's biggest releases yet, and it starts with a new experience. ⚡

MachShip’s rebuilt React-based interface is faster, cleaner and easier to move through.

But this release is about more than a new look. It brings more self-serve control to the platform that connects your entire freight operation and makes it work.

→ Shipping rules, modifiers and surcharge rules you can configure yourself
→ Faster bulk reconciliation of carrier invoice dimensions and weights
→ High-value consignment flagging before booking
→ Scan-to-Pack, a barcode-driven packing workflow
→ Case Management Lite to keep freight issues visible and easier to resolve

And there are new ways to extend the value of MachShip for your customers. Enter Add-on features.

Journeys lets you book multi-leg freight as one journey. Route via a depot, add each carrier and cost before you create it, then track and invoice the whole move in a single view.

Advanced Branded Tracking carries your brand through to delivery. Your logo, colours, content, product links and campaign assets, plus a richer recipient experience from dispatch onwards.

Case Management Lite helps teams manage freight enquiries and exceptions in one place, keeping cases connected on the consignment.

More control.
A fresh experience.
New Add-ons to grow with.

More ways to orchestrate your freight with MachShip.

The national freight numbers don’t tell the whole story.

At the ASCLA Virtual Summit, our CEO Sam Rowse will sit down with Stephen Lakey, ASCLA National Chair, to unpack what’s really happening underneath the averages.

Drawing on the data behind our Freightability Report 2026, they’ll explore why a 78% national on-time delivery rate can hide huge variation, why paying for speed doesn’t always deliver greater certainty, and how freight performance and pricing are moving differently across carriers, modes and lanes.

They'll also look at what the latest cost movements mean for shippers, and what to be thinking about heading into 2027.

Because freight rewards a closer look.
