We get it, disconnected platforms are frustrating

At New Zealand Couriers, we want our customers to feel in control. In order for that to happen, you need all your business information on one platform.

The problem is, you’re using a siloed platform to manage freight and it doesn’t talk to your other business tools. You begin to feel like you’re doing twice the amount of work. I mean, why would you choose a partner that doesn’t make integration easy?
