Kinaxia partners with Qargo to accelerate digital transformation

We’re excited to announce that Kinaxia, one of the UK’s leading logistics companies, has partnered with Qargo to drive digital transformation across its nationwide operations.

Kinaxia deliver a comprehensive range of transport and logistics services throughout the UK, including general haulage, groupage, warehousing and fulfilment, contract packing, freight forwarding, it’s own internal trunking network, and more. The company also supports customers across a wide variety of sectors, such as retail, leisure, manufacturing, and food and drink.

With nationwide coverage and a broad fleet mix of approximately 1,000 vehicles, Kinaxia recognised the need to modernise and streamline its complex operation. By combining Samsara’s telematics and safety technologies with Qargo’s AI-powered Transport Management software (TMS), the company is creating a more connected, efficient, and future-ready logistics network.

Gareth Jenkins, Executive Chairman at Kinaxia said:

This partnership represents a bold step forward, not just for Kinaxia but for the digitalisation of the logistics sector and is just the start of many exciting changes for the company. 

Why Qargo?

Kinaxia is deeply committed to delivering a high standard of customer experience while reducing its environmental impact – values that closely align with Qargo’s mission. These shared priorities will help shape the partnership both now and as it evolves in the future.

These shared values will translate into practical outcomes that drive efficiencies for Kinaxia and its customers, including:  

Streamlined workflows

Qargo helps automate administrative tasks, reducing processes that previously took hours down to just minutes. With real-time fleet visibility and driver safety signals embedded directly within the TMS via the native integration with Samsara, teams will be able to respond to exceptions faster, proactively manage issues, and improve On-Time, In-Full performance across the network.

Introducing standardised order intake and EDI will also create greater consistency and efficiency, while tighter integrations with finance systems aim to support a faster, more accurate invoicing run. Together, this will free up time for Kinaxia, and its customers, to focus on higher-value activities that drive business impact and revenue.

Minimised environmental impact

Qargo will support Kinaxia’s sustainability goals by enabling smarter, more efficient transport planning. Fewer pallet touches through direct inter-depot trunking, combined with improved vehicle fill and fewer empty miles through consistent, rules-driven planning, will help reduce unnecessary movement across the network.

This will result in lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and a more environmentally responsible operation – without compromising service levels or reliability.

Real-time visibility 

Qargo will provide real-time visibility across all Kinaxia locations, enabling centralised reporting, consistent processes, and better coordination between teams. This transparency will support faster decision-making and ensure a unified operational approach across the business.

For Kinaxia’s customers, this will translate into a significantly improved experience. Advanced customer portals will provide instant access to order status and shipment insights, reducing the need for manual updates and time-consuming queries – while delivering greater confidence and control throughout the transport process.

Adriaan Coppens, Co-founder & CEO, Qargo said:

We’re proud to collaborate with Kinaxia and Samsara to accelerate one of the most forward-thinking digital transformations in UK logistics. Kinaxia’s ambition, combined with Samsara’s telematics excellence and Qargo’s intelligent transport management platform, creates the foundation for more efficient and sustainable operations. Together, we’re proving what’s possible when technology and operational expertise come together to reimagine the future of logistics.

Qargo’s partnership with Kinaxia is another pivotal step in our journey to make the transport industry more efficient, sustainable, and digital-first.
