MobileDOCK targets growth in the UK

Australia’s Bestrane has secured a contract with British grocery delivery company Ocado, one of the world’s largest online grocers. 

The contract is part of Bestrane’s campaign to expand the market for its MobileDOCK in the UK. MobileDOCK is advanced cloud-based logistics software that provides ‘air traffic control’ for commercial loading docks.

Bestrane founder and managing director David Sanders says Austrade, the Australian export promotion agency, helped the company find a distribution partner in the UK.

“Austrade has helped us identify the positive tax nuances around the Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement,” he says. “These will very much help to free up trade and minimise withholding tax.”

Sanders knows it takes time to establish in new markets, but hopes to build Bestrane’s business across the UK.

“We are passionate about working in increasingly agile, connected and collaborative ways. We want to be known for delivering innovative, operationally focused solutions that add value to our customers’ operations.”

MobileDOCK hopes to take advantage of the growing awareness of sustainability in the UK, where it can help clients meet investors’ environment, social, and governance (ESG) goals.

Bestrane was founded in 2004 and its solution has been adopted by major global brands in Australia, including Coca-Cola and the Star Entertainment Group.
