Melbourne-based logistics software and consulting services company Market Motion will establish offices in South Australia, thanks to a state government program to help companies set up in Adelaide.

The company was attracted to Adelaide by a South Australian Landing Pad agreement for $80,000, of which $40,000 is to be used to help with office space and $40,000 to hire local professional services suppliers.

Market Motion specialises in providing route planning, dispatch, telematics and data analytics services to organisations with transport operations and in-field personnel.

Richard Alp, director and founder of Market Motion, says he decided to open an office in South Australia because Adelaide was an effective base to service markets in South East Asia.

"Adelaide is a great option for Market Motion to service our South East Asian customers," he says. "We are currently servicing six countries with a view to build our presence further across the Asia Pacific."

Leading manufacturers of attachments, forks and related technologies for forklifts and AGVs.

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.

These releases in Forkliftaction are a nice experience for SNDC... We got seven inquiries coming from Canada, USA, Mexico, Israel and Australia (five from retailers, two from machines manufacturers) and we are still in contact with them. I can state that's a success story!
