For businesses
Use existing third-party freight capacity to move materials, goods, and products between sites and partners, lowering costs and emissions while improving coordination, reducing admin, and strengthening traceability and cost data.
Includes brands, retailers, manufacturers, distributors, warehouses, developers, property groups, and other multi-site operators.
Types of businesses
Any business that moves materials, goods, or products between sites and partners can use Tidal Shift to access existing freight capacity instead of arranging dedicated transport.
Brands and retailers
Supermarkets, retail chains, and consumer brands managing reverse flows of packaging, pallets, and returned goods between stores, DCs, and suppliers.
Manufacturers
Manufacturers moving raw materials, components, and finished products between production sites, warehouses, and customers — with full traceability.
Distributors and warehouses
Distribution and warehousing businesses coordinating inbound and outbound movements across multiple locations, reducing empty running and transport costs.
Developers and property groups
Construction, demolition, and fit-out projects generating materials that need to move to processors, storage, or other sites — tracked and verified.
Processors and recyclers
Materials recovery facilities, recyclers, and processors receiving inbound materials and dispatching processed outputs to end-markets.
Multi-site operators
Any business with multiple locations that needs to move goods, equipment, or materials between them — from hospitality groups to agricultural operations.
Typical material flows
Businesses move a wide range of materials, goods, and products that can be matched to existing freight capacity.
Packaging and pallets
Return of packaging, pallets, crates, and reusable containers between retail sites, distribution centres, and suppliers.
Raw materials and components
Inbound materials and components moving between suppliers, manufacturers, and production sites.
Finished goods and returns
Outbound product distribution and return flows — including product recalls, customer returns, and inter-site transfers.
Example scenarios
Retailer packaging return
A supermarket chain posts loads of collapsed cardboard and plastic wrap from five stores. A carrier already running in the area picks them up on a multi-stop route and delivers to a recycler — all verified through the platform.
Manufacturer inter-site transfer
A manufacturer needs to move components between two factories 300 km apart. Tidal Shift helps bring on a carrier with spare capacity on that route, cutting costs and providing full tracking and delivery verification.
Developer construction waste
A property developer arranges transport of clean fill and recoverable timber from a demolition site to processing facilities, with chain-of-custody data for waste reporting and compliance.
Lower costs and strengthen traceability
Match your loads to existing freight capacity — reduce transport costs and emissions while getting better data on every movement.
