Recent developments include ongoing investments in the 2022 acquisition of Allied Express, Australia's largest independent courier network, with automation sortation systems in New South Wales and Victoria, expanded depot capacity across five states, and new sales initiatives driving revenue growth and efficiency gains; the opening of a 13,000sqm Big Chill facility in Ruakura to enhance temperature-controlled capacity linked to Port of Tauranga and regional services, alongside expansions in ProducePronto for fast-food and cafe deliveries, Wellington, and Christchurch; Kiwi Oversize achieving $10 million annual revenue in under two years with minimal capital; a digital medical records partnership between TIMG and InfoMedix; and the launch of Project Evolve for upgraded billing, payments, automated pricing based on weight, size, and destination, reflecting a three-horizons growth strategy emphasizing market share gains in core, emerging, and innovative niches despite economic headwinds.
