By Jim Plouffe 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."
