About Switchboard
Switchboard is a software company that is changing supply chains. We are a universal integrator, connecting the companies and systems that power supply chains for companies big and small, in Australia and around the world.
Our platform allows companies to integrate with their supply chain partners more quickly, easily, and affordably than ever before - driving significant improvements in the speed and cost of supply chains. This is a major pain point and cost for many retail, consumer, ecommerce, suppliers, and supply chain companies.
In 2023, it is still far too expensive, time consuming, and painful to connect supply chain systems. This is just not good enough. Switchboard is directly addressing this with a fast, modern, affordable platform to bring dramatic improvements to the efficiency of an enormous global industry.
The founder, Hugh, repeatedly felt this pain point directly in his time working in a supply chain/logistics start up. At Switchboard, we believe that there is real scope for us to solve a massive problem for so many industries with our product.
