Switchboard, a Sydney-based supply chain integration platform, has successfully raised $1.5 million in a funding round led by investors including Archangel, AfterWork, Investible, Skalata, StartMate, TEN13, and The Fund. The capital injection is aimed at accelerating the transition of global supply chains from manual processes to an AI-driven ecosystem.

The supply chain industry, which has traditionally lagged behind in digital transformation, is now beginning to catch up, spurred by the growing demand for efficiency in a rapidly evolving environment. The AI logistics market is projected to grow significantly, from $1.7 billion in 2018 to $12 billion by 2027, highlighting the increasing importance of technology in this sector.

Hugh Dixson, founder of Switchboard, emphasized the critical role of supply chains in the global economy. “We are witnessing a period of significant change in an industry that has long been overdue for modernization. The fundamental aspects that make supply chains dynamic will continue to evolve as we embrace new technologies,” Dixson stated.

Through his experiences at companies like Uber and road freight startup Ofload, Dixson observed the challenges associated with outdated and fragmented supply chain systems. He noted that many businesses still rely on manual processes, which hinder operational efficiency. High costs of IT system integration have also been a barrier for smaller companies, often giving an advantage to larger, more established players.

Switchboard aims to level the playing field by offering a platform accessible to businesses of all sizes. The platform connects various IT systems used in supply chains, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Transportation Management Systems (TMS), and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). This integration automates communication between different stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, logistics providers, and other partners, helping to reduce errors, lower staff costs, and improve overall efficiency.

“Our vision is to become the ‘system of record’ for the global supply chain, leveraging our proprietary dataset to develop additional products,” Dixson added. With the newly secured funding, Switchboard plans to accelerate product development, expand its market presence, and introduce new services such as data analytics, payments processing, and financing.

The investment community has taken note of the significant opportunities presented by Switchboard. Tom Smalley, Investment Director at Skalata, expressed optimism about the company’s future, stating, “Switchboard’s strong foundation as a digital infrastructure provider opens up clear avenues for growth in data, network, and financial services. We are excited to support their journey as they expand globally.”

As the supply chain industry continues to integrate cloud computing and optimize inventory and networks, Switchboard’s innovative approach positions it to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of global logistics.
