The freight house

Freight, moved smarter

We believe moving your freight should give you more control, not less. One team, one portal, and nothing hidden.

The businesses we move for
Moving freight should be clear, honest and completely in your control.

Not a game of chasing updates and swallowing hidden costs. That belief runs through everything: one team, one portal, one point of contact, and every cost exposed. The freight is the easy part. Doing it your way is the point.

The headaches we take off your desk

Low or no availability?

Told there is no space, or left waiting, exactly when you need to move.

Reliable capacity secured across our carrier network

Chasing updates?

Endless emails asking where your shipment is, and nobody owning the answer.

One portal, live tracking, one person who owns it

Costs that balloon?

Surprise surcharges and fees that only appear once it is too late to move.

Every cost exposed and broken down up front

Built from the buyer's seat, not the broker's.

Eighteen years running logistics for the brands, before running the freight for them. Sarah Garvin led logistics operations across global beauty and premium interiors, sitting on the client side of every carrier, portal and invoice. Smart Logistix is freight forwarding designed from that seat: the visibility, the honesty and the control you always wanted from a forwarder, because we were the ones asking for it.
