Mainfreight Australia, part of the global logistics and supply chain leader Mainfreight Limited, has been operating in the country since 1989. With over 74 branch locations nationwide, the company delivers time-critical freight, warehousing, and international forwarding services across metro and regional areas. Leveraging a high-performing owner-driver fleet, Mainfreight ensures end-to-end logistics coverage, keeping Australian businesses moving efficiently.
Mainfreight aimed to phase out costly MPLS circuits across all branches. Their existing setup routed all internet-bound traffic back to the central data centre through MPLS, where it passed through perimeter firewalls. While secure, this design added latency for cloud and internet-based applications, slowed end-user performance, and placed heavy bandwidth strain on MPLS links at the data centre. With cloud adoption growing, the need for faster, more scalable, and cost-efficient architecture became urgent.
Oreta worked closely with Mainfreight to design a network transformation that supported their MPLS decommissioning strategy while enhancing user experience. The solution introduced Local Direct Internet Access (DIA) at branch level for approved applications like Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Teams, Windows Updates, Webex, and key custom apps. This was paired with Cloud On-Ramp for SaaS, enabling intelligent traffic steering to SaaS applications over the most efficient network path, based on real-time performance. To prepare for a complete MPLS phase-out, TC4 links were provided at each site to serve as the future primary connectivity.
At Oreta, we see a world where businesses, big or small, thrive through technology that grows with them—tailored solutions, a trusted partnership, and a shared journey to innovate, connect, and leave a lasting impact
