FedEx Acquisition Strengthens Route Planning with RouteSmart

As RouteSmart enters an exciting new phase with FedEx, this partnership unlocks enhanced resources, deeper product innovation, and a stronger commitment to helping logistics organisations solve complex routing and scheduling challenges - whether in postal, parcel, utility, public works, and newspaper delivery sectors.

Driving Growth Through Local Expertise and Global Technology

With RouteSmart’s industry-leading optimisation technology and Bestrane’s local expertise, this exciting new phase with FedEx reinforces a commitment to innovation, stability, and continued service to our clients and partners.

In a region where transport distances are vast, delivery windows are tight, and customer expectations are rising, smarter route planning is not just nice to have; it is essential.

“We’re excited to work even more closely with the RouteSmart team to help our customers take advantage of the same technology powering some of the world’s largest and most complex delivery networks.” said David Sanders, Managing Director at Bestrane.

Doug Hill, VP of Marketing for RouteSmart stated, "The FedEx acquisition shows a real belief in our team and technology and highlights how critical fast, efficient route optimization is as we scale our impact in a very competitive world."

Real Results in Postal and Utilities Route Optimisation

The partnership has already delivered strong results. From streamlined postal routes for Australia Post to optimised water management, Bestrane and RouteSmart are solving planning problems that were once seen as too complex or costly to address.

“With FedEx behind them, RouteSmart now has the backing to go even further - delivering faster innovation, stronger infrastructure, and even more targeted support,” said David.
