WISETECH GLOBAL LIMITED
WiseTech Global Limited is an Australian public company registered with Australian Business Number (ABN) 41 065 894 724, recorded by the Australian Business Register as active from 1 February 2000. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s company register lists the company under Australian Company Number (ACN) 065 894 724, with an original incorporation date of 2 August 1994 in New South Wales; the 1 February 2000 date corresponds to when the ABN was issued rather than the date of incorporation, since the ABN system itself only began operating on 1 July 2000. The registered office and principal place of business is Ground Floor, 25 Bourke Road, Alexandria, New South Wales 2015, Australia.
WiseTech Global Limited develops and supplies CargoWise, a single, integrated software platform used by freight forwarders, customs brokers and other logistics service providers to manage international freight, customs and logistics execution. According to the company’s FY2025 results announcement, CargoWise was used by more than 17,000 logistics companies worldwide, including a large share of the world’s largest global freight forwarders. On 3 August 2025, WiseTech Global Limited completed the acquisition of Nasdaq-listed e2open Parent Holdings, Inc. for US$3.30 per share in cash, an enterprise value of approximately US$2.1 billion, extending the group’s logistics-execution business into broader trade-management and supply-chain software aimed at shippers, manufacturers, importers, exporters and brand owners, according to the companies’ joint completion announcement.
WiseTech Global Limited has been listed on the Australian Securities Exchange since 11 April 2016 under the ticker code WTC and is a constituent of the S&P/ASX 20 index. For the financial year ended 30 June 2025, before the e2open acquisition was consolidated, the group reported statutory revenue of 778.7 million Australian dollars, up 14 percent on the prior year, and statutory net profit after tax of 200.7 million Australian dollars, up 17 percent, with revenue from the CargoWise platform growing organically to 682.2 million Australian dollars, according to the FY2025 Appendix 4E lodged with the ASX on 27 August 2025. For the 2026 financial year, the company has guided to revenue of between 1.39 billion and 1.44 billion Australian dollars, reflecting the consolidation of e2open from August 2025; this is a company forecast rather than a reported result as at the date of this profile.

Shareholders of WiseTech Global Limited
WiseTech Global Limited is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Under Australian securities law, a person or entity is required to lodge a substantial-holder notice with the ASX only once its voting power in a listed company reaches 5 percent, so full details of shareholders below that threshold are not published. As at 27 August 2026, WiseTech Global Limited had approximately 336.3 million ordinary shares on issue, according to the company’s ASX announcements.
The most recent substantial-holder notices disclose one holder at or above the 5 percent threshold: Co-Founder and Executive Director Richard White, whose interests are held through RealWise Holdings Pty Ltd and related entities. A notice lodged with the ASX on 19 December 2025 recorded that RealWise Holdings had entered into a collar derivative and financing arrangement with Macquarie Bank Limited over 20,000,000 WiseTech Global Limited shares, described in the notice as representing approximately 6 percent of the company’s issued capital, while Mr White retained a further approximately 95,000,000 shares outside that arrangement. Combining these two figures gives Mr White approximately 115,000,000 shares as at 19 December 2025, a total calculated for this profile since the notice did not itself state one combined voting-power percentage; against the 336.3 million shares on issue as at 27 August 2026, this is equivalent to roughly 34 percent, though because the share count used is drawn from a later date than the holding, the resulting percentage is indicative rather than a figure reported directly in a single filing.
Two other substantial holders disclosed in earlier filings are no longer current. AustralianSuper Pty Ltd exited its holding in full in December 2025, with media reports citing the fund’s stated governance concerns about the company’s leadership transition. Macquarie Group Limited lodged a notice ceasing to be a substantial holder on 29 May 2026; its earlier substantial holding arose from financing arrangements connected to Mr White’s share dealings rather than an independent investment position. No individual or entity has been identified in official filings as holding a majority of WiseTech Global Limited’s voting shares, and no verified ultimate beneficial owner beyond Mr White’s disclosed direct and associated interest can be established from the sources reviewed.

WiseTech Global Limited is the ASX-listed ultimate parent of its corporate group; no parent company has been identified in official filings, and its shares are widely held other than the disclosed interests of Co-Founder and Executive Director Richard White described in the shareholders section of this profile. Since its 2016 initial public offering, the company has grown through the acquisition of numerous software businesses that have been integrated into or alongside the CargoWise platform.

WiseTech Global Limited’s annual report is required under Australian accounting standards to disclose a full list of controlled entities in the notes to its consolidated financial statements, but that detailed note was not reviewed for this profile. Accordingly, this profile verifies only e2open Parent Holdings, Inc. as a direct subsidiary and does not present a complete list of the group’s other operating subsidiaries.
Recent structural changes
WiseTech Global Limited completed the acquisition of e2open Parent Holdings, Inc. on 3 August 2025, materially expanding the group’s business beyond freight-forwarder-focused logistics execution software into broader supply-chain and trade-management software aimed at shippers, manufacturers and brand owners.
Data availability
Country availability: Partial. Australian accounting standards require ASX-listed companies to disclose a complete list of controlled entities in their annual report, but this profile verifies only the group’s most significant recent acquisition rather than presenting that complete note.
