The eCargo Story
eCargo is a division of Carter Holt Harvey Limited. The
business began as a concept to create an online marketplace for
transport providers and transport customers to connect.
With Wellington based angel investor group AMR Holdings (now Movac) investing
in the idea, eCargo started life surrounded by other well known
successful technology businesses such as Trade Me,
Ecentric (acquired by Intergen in Oct 2005) and Maven
Consulting.
Carter Holt
Harvey, one of New Zealand's largest companies, quickly joined
eCargo as a foundation customer, and a strategic investor
through its venture capital arm, New Ventures.
This investment transformed the eCargo solution from a simple
online marketplace for communicating freight requirements, to a
complete freight management solution that can scale from a small
carrier to the largest of multi-national manufacturers.
In June 2005 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CHH.
With customers such as Sanitarium, Griffins, Foodstuffs,
Owens-Illinois and Coca-Cola Amatil eCargo is a market leader
in the Australasian market place for hosted freight management
software.
