In 2020 Freightways implemented Reward Gateway Employee Reward and Recognition to centralize employee engagement and communications across its Australian businesses, strengthening culture within the Employee Recognition and Rewards Management category. The deployment targeted three sister companies, TIMG, Shred-X and Med-X, where roughly 800 of Freightways 3,500 employees are based, creating a single hub to address disparate communication channels and inconsistent access to benefits and recognition.
The project configured Reward Gateway Employee Reward and Recognition as a branded employee hub called The Hive, consolidating employee communications, employee reward and recognition, employee discounts, employee wellbeing and employee surveys into one platform. Functional modules implemented include a central news and policy repository, a unified rewards and recognition engine with peer to peer and manager award workflows, a monetary reward attach feature, and a Wellbeing Center, all organized to support the company Employee Value Proposition and ongoing learning and benefits discovery.
Rollout and operational coverage were led by Freightways Australia People and Culture, which prioritized launching communications and discounts first to drive adoption, then staged the recognition program to follow. Adoption tactics included on-site roadshows to demonstrate login and usage, remote video promotions when travel was restricted, and an engagement competition to incentivize eCard use; the platform was also used to host a COVID-19 information hub to provide a single source for operational and health and safety updates.
Governance changes centralized communications and recognition under the People and Culture team and introduced formal peer recognition and manager award workflows using Reward Gateway Employee Reward and Recognition, aligning the platform to HR and internal communications functions. Measured outcomes reported by Freightways include 85 percent of employees logging into The Hive within the first week, over 1,200 eCards sent within two months, and within the first year more than 2,300 eCards and over $2,000 in rewards issued through the platform, with employees spending over $220,000 in the Honey Pot, while the quality of recognition messages improved as usage scaled.

In 2021 Freightways implemented Quadrent LOIS Lease Accounting to centralise an extensive lease portfolio and replace disparate spreadsheets, targeting IFRS 16 compliance across its New Zealand and Australia businesses. Freightways used Quadrent LOIS Lease Accounting as a Lease Management application to consolidate lease contracts, standardise lease accounting practices and provide a single source of truth for finance teams across both countries. The deployment targeted improvements to month-end close and audit readiness by centralising contract data and accounting workflows.
The implementation explicitly deployed the lease accounting for IFRS 16 module, configured to capture contract terms, handle lease term and variable payment calculations, and generate automated journal entries for lease liabilities and right of use assets. Configuration work included amortisation schedule generation, disclosure reporting and workflow orchestration for lease modifications and reassessments, aligning transaction flows with accounting controls. Automation reduced manual spreadsheet reconciliations and provided transaction-level audit trails and traceability required for external audit.
Operational scope covered Freightways finance teams across New Zealand and Australia, with governance established for contract entry, review and approval inside Quadrent LOIS Lease Accounting and for ongoing BAU lease accounting processes. The rollout embedded standardised processes for lease data management and month-end accounting, improving month-end processes, increasing auditor confidence and strengthening ongoing BAU lease accounting reliability as reported in the case study.

In 2017 Freightways implemented Microsoft 365 as its primary Collaboration platform. The implementation is observable on Freightways' public web presence and reflects a shift to Microsoft 365 for enterprise communication and productivity across the organization in New Zealand.
The deployment centers on Microsoft 365 capabilities, including Exchange Online for email, SharePoint Online for document management, Microsoft Teams for real-time collaboration, OneDrive for personal file sync, and the Office productivity suite for authoring and editing. These components are consistent with standard Collaboration category functionality and are described here to clarify the application footprint as Microsoft 365.
Operationally Microsoft 365 at Freightways supports business functions such as corporate communications, document collaboration, and team coordination within the transportation business context. The implementation aligns the Microsoft 365 tenant model with role based access, centralized content repositories, and collaboration workspaces to enable cross-functional information sharing while remaining anchored in New Zealand operations.
Governance and configuration activity for Microsoft 365 likely included tenant and identity configuration, role based access controls using Microsoft identity services, mailbox and site provisioning policies, and administrative controls for information lifecycle and compliance. Freightways Microsoft 365 Collaboration supports corporate productivity, communications, and document management functions through these platform modules and governance practices.
