WiseTech Global is an Australian software company that makes tools to help logistics and freight companies move goods around the world. Its main product is CargoWise, a platform used by freight forwarders, customs brokers, and shipping companies to manage shipments, customs paperwork, and warehouse operations all in one place. The company is one of the largest providers of logistics execution software globally.

WiseTech earns money through software subscriptions and transaction-based fees, meaning customers pay more as they process more shipments. The company is headquartered in Sydney, Australia, but CargoWise is used in over 160 countries, giving it a truly global footprint. Its moat comes from how deeply embedded CargoWise is in customers' daily operations — switching to a competitor is costly and disruptive. The key growth driver is continued expansion of CargoWise's features and winning larger global freight forwarders, though the company faces risk from slowing global trade volumes and increasing competition from enterprise software giants.
