BlogNew Financial Year, New Way to Manage your Freight

As businesses reset for the new financial year, now is the perfect time to assess whether your approach is still delivering value. Discover how partnering with a freight manager can reduce complexity, improve visibility, save time, and help drive better commercial outcomes for your business.


The new financial year becomes a natural reset for many businesses. Budgets are reviewed, processes are reassessed, and opportunities for improvement come into focus. For businesses balancing their freight, it’s also the perfect time to ask a simple question: is your current approach still working for you? If this has you thinking, then now is the perfect time to bridge that gap.

Managing freight can become complex, working through systems, suppliers, and manual processes. Teams can often be left spending their time juggling multiple carriers, chasing updates, managing exceptions, and trying to piece together visibility across their shipments. It can be time-consuming, reactive, and often costly, especially as businesses scale.

Craig Geddes, Executive General Manager, Sales at TIG Freight Management says, ‘Many businesses don’t realise how much time and cost is tied up in managing freight internally until they step back and assess the bigger picture. This is where partnering with a freight manager can make a genuine difference.’

At TIG, we specialise in simplifying the complexity for businesses. Instead of your business dealing with multiple carriers, systems, and contacts, you have one partner managing it all. This includes our dedicated relationship management and customer service team, combined with our freight management platform, Open360, ensuring complete visibility from consignment through to delivery.

With a solutions-focused, people-first approach, we work closely with our clients to understand their pain points and build a customised freight strategy that fits their business. We focus on driving better commercial outcomes, comparing options so that you can make the right decision for your business. Whether it’s improving delivery performance, reducing admin, or gaining clearer reporting, our focus is always on practical outcomes.

‘It’s not just about moving freight from A to B,’ says Craig. ‘It’s about delivering the best outcomes for our clients, ensuring they feel they’re in control of their freight, and that’s something we’re proudly recognised for at TIG. Our clients value the transparency and honesty that our team provides, and we know it saves businesses time, cost, and recued stress.’

As we settle into the new financial year, if you feel that your freight is taking more time, effort, or cost than it should, it might be time to rethink how it’s managed.

Smarter freight starts with the right partner.
