What ISO Limited does

ISO Limited, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, is a specialist stevedoring, marshalling, and logistics provider focused on the forestry industry and adjacent supply chains. Following its 2024 rebrand and integration into ASX-listed Qube Holdings Ltd, the company operates as Qube Logistics New Zealand and Qube Ports New Zealand, providing port terminal management, cargo handling, freight forwarding, distribution, rail booking, and multi-modal supply chain services across the forestry, bulk cargo, agri, automotive, energy, government, heavy lift, and renewables verticals.

The underlying technology stack is a set of enterprise-facing digital portals layered over physical logistics operations: Qube Connect for supply chain management, IQ International Tracking for international cargo visibility across AU and NZ, Qube Gateway for customer-side logistics management, Live Vehicle Tracking for fleet monitoring, a Salesforce-based Customer Portal for account management, and the Qube Rail Booking Portal for interstate freight. The architecture is a platform-plus-modules model in which a shared digital layer is paired with vertical-specific service lines (Forestry, Bulk Cargo, Stevedoring, Renewables, etc.), enabling customers to self-serve bookings and tracking while Qube retains end-to-end operational control.

The business model is B2B professional services revenue: ISO/Qube NZ charges for port handling, stevedoring, storage, marshalling, freight forwarding, and integrated supply chain management under multi-year enterprise contracts. The go-to-market is sales-led, with direct enterprise relationships supplemented by self-service portals for booking and tracking. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Following the 2024 rebrand, the NZ operations leverage Qube's multinational scale and shared service catalog to cross-sell across verticals and across the Australia–New Zealand corridor, while remaining operationally anchored in NZ port and logistics infrastructure.
