Bustle is a Saas-based TMS, designed to be the first step toward modernising heavy road freight operations across the supply chain - built by transport experts, for transport experts, with simplicity at its core and efficiency in mind.

Bustle was built to make heavy road freight simpler, safer and more profitable. We help local operators, national carriers and ASX-listed miners handle their transport operations with greater visibility and control, from finance and operations to asset management and compliance (including our NHVR-approved EWD). 

Bustle gives transport operators a smarter, more connected and safer way to run their businesses - replacing paperwork, manual processes and siloed tools with a single unified platform, helping drive operational efficiencies and save lost revenue.

Compared to other TMS’, Bustle is fast to implement and simple to use, with strong after sale support & service. Using NHVR-approved compliance tools as standard and financial interoperability, Bustle enables real-time insights that drive smarter, safer decisions with a fully customizable interface to suit unique customer needs.

Value Drivers

  • Digitises job creation with real-time visibility and fewer manual touchpoints
  • Centralises compliance and safety forms (including EWD) to reduce legal risk
  • Automates rates, invoicing and contractor payments to speed up cashflow and improve billing accuracy
  • Tracks fleet health, services and permits to increase uptime and audit readiness
  • Connects real-time data across modules to power smart reporting and analytics
  • Seamlessly integrates across the ecosystem to unify operations and eliminate rework

Any business experiencing operational bottlenecks, compliance risks, or fragmented systems would benefit from implementing Bustle.

Common indicators include reliance on manual paperwork, duplicated data entry, missed maintenance or permit deadlines, invoicing delays, limited job or driver visibility, and/or struggling to stay on top of Chain of Responsibility and fatigue compliance.

If systems are disconnected and decision-making is reactive, Bustle can bring everything together in one platform.

"“Bustle has completely transformed the way we manage freight. With real-time tracking and automated dispatch, we’ve eliminated manual work and gained visibility that we never previously had.”"
