Aussies announce another acquisition in Europe
Four years after aquiring the Swiss logistics IT provider Sisa, Wisetech Global, a Sydney-based developer of the logistics execution software "Cargowise", has announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Aktiv Data, a provider of electronic customs and freight forwarding solutions in Finland.
Founded in 2006, and headquartered in Jakobstad, Aktiv Data offers a cloud-based freight forwarding and customs system called "Ntrax", as well as freight forwarding, bonded warehouse and waybill products. It supports multiple local and transit customs procedures with a direct message exchange to the Finnish customs office. Aktiv Data’s customers are international and Finnish forwarders and shippers, including Steveco.
Aktiv Data’s operations will be integrated within the WiseTech Global group and remain under the current leadership of Kaj Svarvar. (ah)
