The new financial year is more than just a line in your accounting system — it’s an opportunity to reset your logistics strategy with purpose. After all, your freight network isn’t “set and forget.” What worked last year might not get you where you need to go in FY25.
At Clique Logistics, we know your freight isn’t just freight – it’s your reputation, your bottom line, and most importantly, your promise to customers. That’s why we’ve partnered with FreightInsure to offer up to $100,000 in freight cover per consignment.
The end of the Australian financial year is crunch time. It’s when finance wants clean ledgers, sales wants stock to clear, and operations just want things to move on time. But in 2025, there’s a bigger cloud forming over EOFY planning — and it’s blowing in from offshore.
In today’s competitive business landscape, companies are looking for every possible opportunity to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Logistics, often one of the most significant operational expenses, presents a major opportunity for businesses to optimise their spend and maximise value. When done correctly, a well-planned logistics strategy can become a key competitive advantage, helping businesses not only reduce costs but also improve customer satisfaction and operational performance.
As the Australian financial year comes to a close, many businesses are finalising stock levels, reviewing freight spend, and locking in supplier commitments. But this year, there’s a wildcard: the return of US tariffs under a second Trump administration. While the tariffs are largely aimed at China and other major trade partners, the ripple effect on Australian businesses could be significant — particularly for those reliant on international suppliers or US-linked trade routes.
Businesses cannot afford to operate in the dark. Freight transparency—the ability to track shipments, monitor carrier performance, and communicate in real time—has become a necessity, not a luxury.
Supply chain disruptions are an unavoidable reality in logistics. From extreme weather events to port congestion, supplier failures, or global crises, businesses must be prepared to handle unexpected disruptions. The key to minimising financial and operational damage lies in proactive risk management and strategic planning.
Data is one of the most powerful tools a business can leverage. Companies that rely on guesswork or outdated freight strategies often end up overspending, facing delays, or struggling with inefficiencies.
Many businesses approach freight management reactively—solving issues as they arise rather than preventing them in the first place. While this may seem like a cost-effective approach in the short term, the reality is that reactive freight strategies often lead to higher expenses, inefficiencies, and dissatisfied customers.
Last-mile delivery is the final step of the logistics journey—the moment when a package reaches its end destination. It’s also the most expensive, complex, and failure-prone part of the supply chain. A single misstep in last-mile logistics can result in delayed shipments, lost parcels, or frustrated customers, all of which come at a steep cost.
