Navia, which has domestic bases in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and overseas operations in Auckland, Chicago, Penang and Budapest was formed in 2003 and has a strong focus on tech-based solutions for customers.
Its NaviaHub platform includes apps and dashboards providing customers with online bookings, tracking and supply-chain metrics.
Cos Breglia, founder of Keys says: “Keys Freight identified that both technology and scale are necessary to support its future growth. Navia meanwhile has a world-beating technology suite, as well as the scale of a larger entity. Navia had voiced ambitions to enter the Western Australian market, and it quickly became apparent that Keys Freight joining the Navia network would provide the solutions both companies desired.”
