SwitchBoard

Based in New South Wales, Australia, and founded in 2022 by its CEO Hugh Dixson, Dixson Technology Services Pty Ltd, doing business as SwitchBoard, specializes in supply chain integration solutions. In June 2024, Switchboard raised AUD 1. 5 million in seed funding led by Investible, StartMate, Archangel Ventures, Skalata Ventures, TEN13, and Everywhere Ventures. Switchboard provides a supply chain integration platform designed to facilitate data exchange between various trading partners, including customers and suppliers.

At the core of their offerings is an integration solution that enables automatic sending and receiving of purchase and sales orders, sharing of product information and inventory levels, and digital transaction management without the need for manual handling. This service effectively eliminates reliance on traditional methods such as emails, PDFs, and spreadsheets, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing errors. The platform is utilized by a diverse client base that ranges from mid-sized enterprises to large retailers, particularly in North America and Europe. The company’s technology supports a frictionless onboarding experience, allowing users to integrate EDI and API solutions.

The company plans to utilize the June 2024 funding raised to continue building and scaling out its solution across supplier, retailer, and 3PL networks globally.
