FAA Group

What FAA Group does

FAA Group (legally Freight Assist Australia Pty Ltd) is a privately held Australian transport and third-party logistics provider founded in 2012 and headquartered in Altona, Victoria. It operates as a holding company with two wholly owned operating divisions: Freight Assist Australia, which delivers national bulk transport services, and One Warehousing and Distribution, which provides third-party warehousing and distribution. The group runs owned facilities and operations across all five major Australian metropolitan markets — Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide — with additional warehousing sites in Wetherill Park (Sydney), Rocklea (Brisbane), Welshpool (Perth), and Gillman (Adelaide). It is family-owned, with the Wrigley family occupying the Group Managing Director, Group Finance Manager, and National Business & Administration Manager roles.

The company's service offering combines physical transport assets, warehousing capacity, and a light technology layer — an in-house TSOne Online customer portal for shipment management, an online Cubic Volumetric Calculator for consignment pricing, and integration with the third-party Cartoncloud warehouse management system. It targets enterprise B2B customers in regulated and specialised verticals, including industrial/manufacturing, medical and healthcare, food and beverage, chemical, and dangerous and hazardous goods, where licensing, compliance, and handling capability act as customer-acquisition filters. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, public awards, external funding rounds, or disclosed financial figures are evidenced.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee-based transport services and managed-services contracts for warehousing and 3PL distribution. Pricing is not publicly listed; the company sells through a national sales line, direct enterprise account management, and a credit-application onboarding flow, targeting large corporate customers rather than SMB or long-tail shippers. The go-to-market is field-driven enterprise sales supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn and Facebook presence, and direct email channels, with no visible self-serve or marketplace distribution.
