United States onlyWho is Whip Around?
Whip Around was born in 2016, originally to help freight companies in New Zealand tackle their paper-based compliance burden. It was whilst working for some of the globe’s largest freight companies, that we saw first-hand how much time paper was costing fleet managers every day. Within a year, the US market was calling loudly as Whip Around met a clear pain point for businesses with fleets. Whip Around now has offices in Auckland, New Zealand, Charlotte, North Carolina, San Diego, California servicing our customers from coast to coast in the US and around the world.
Team culture is at the heart of our success, with personal improvement being just as important as company outcomes.
