Empowering Global Logistics: Mainfreight’s SD-WAN Transformation with Oreta and CISCO Viptela

Mainfreight Limited is New Zealand’s largest logistics and transport company, with a proud heritage dating back to 1978. Headquartered in Auckland, Mainfreight has grown into a global supply chain and freight forwarding enterprise, operating across Australia, Asia, Europe, New Zealand, and the Americas. With a strong focus on high-performance logistics, customer service, and continuous innovation, Mainfreight supports businesses with integrated transport, warehousing, and freight solutions on a global scale.

Challenges

Mainfreight faced several challenges that hindered its ability to perform critical network operations, including IP reassignments, new site deployments, and Quality of Service (QoS) policy updates. Limited network flexibility made it difficult to respond promptly to evolving business needs. These issues were further exacerbated by poor visibility into the network environment and slow response times from the telecommunications provider regarding service delivery and lead times—ultimately affecting the organization’s agility and overall performance.

Solution

To address these challenges, Oreta led the deployment of a CISCO Viptela SD-WAN solution across Mainfreight’s network. The SD-WAN solution empowered Mainfreight with greater control, resilience, and adaptability within their network. In addition, Oreta’s managed services offering delivered proactive support, ongoing optimisation, and enhanced operational efficiency. Regular strategic reviews provided Mainfreight with actionable insights to continuously improve performance and align technology with business goals.

Outcome

The new SD-WAN solution transformed Mainfreight’s network operations, resulting in the following key benefits:

  • CISCO Viptela SD-WAN successfully deployed across 45 sites
  • Seamless user adoption with an improved user experience
  • Quarterly business reviews delivering ongoing insights and alignment
  • Marked improvements in customer service responsiveness

Increased network flexibility and efficiency, enabling faster, more effective modifications to support operational performance
