Hew Transportation

What Hew Transportation does

Hew Transportation is a Singapore-based logistics services provider founded in 1998 that specializes in cold chain transportation alongside general cargo delivery. Its core product portfolio comprises four service lines: Cold Chain Logistics (temperature-controlled transport with real-time temperature monitoring), Van and Lorry Delivery Services (scalable transport from parcels to bulk goods), Last Mile Delivery, and Courier Services, supplemented by Same Day Delivery and Scheduled Delivery options. The company serves Singapore-domiciled clients across food and beverage distribution, pharmaceutical and healthcare, e-commerce and retail, manufacturing and industrial, and catering verticals, with named enterprise customers including Bosch, SEKO Logistics, Lam Soon, United Medicare, Rotiboy Bakeshoppe, and Skyline Catering.

The technology stack centers on a refrigerated fleet equipped with temperature monitoring systems, paired with a Detrack integration that provides customers with a public real-time shipment tracking dashboard. The firm does not disclose proprietary software, APIs, or AI capabilities, and tracking is delivered through a third-party SaaS rather than an in-house platform. There are no patents, certifications, or regulatory registrations documented in the source data.

Hew Transportation operates as a privately held, for-profit company with a reported headcount of 1-10 employees and no disclosed institutional funding, acquisitions, or parent company. Revenue is generated on a transactional, quote-based model with pay-as-you-go billing, and pricing is customized per service, cargo, frequency, and volume. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by website inquiry forms, phone and email outreach, case studies, and organic social media on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, with referral activity through Business Network International (BNI). The company operates exclusively within Singapore and has not signaled geographic expansion.
