Consignment Management
Built for non-standard freight
Capture detailed dimensional data including length, width, height, and weight for every shipment, ensuring oversized items, bulky items, and irregularly shaped goods are accurately accounted for before they move.
Â
Group multiple items under a single consignment and attach custom handling instructions for freight with special handling requirements — whether that is fragile machinery, mining equipment, or pressure vessels that cannot fit neatly into standard shipping containers.
Software Integrations
Connect your logistics operations
Connect your ecommerce platforms, warehouse management systems, and third-party logistics providers through guided setup.
Â
Bespoke integrations ensure oversized freight shipment details flow directly from dispatch workflows into the platform without manual re-entry, reducing risk and keeping every consignment on track from origin to destination.
Â
Â
Rule-Based Automation
Assign the right carrier everytime
Transporting oversized freight in Australia requires rigorous planning, specialised vehicles, and strict adherence to safety regulations.
Â
Smart carrier assignment matches freight type, weight, destination, and timing to the right service, reducing manual work and ensuring safe delivery with specialist carriers equipped for oversized, remote, and permit-required shipments.
Â
Â
Freight Consolidation
Reduce costs on oversized loads
Automatically combine compatible oversized consignments — matching sender, receiver, and handling rules — to reduce cost and improve load efficiency across flatbed trailers and multi-leg transport routes.
Â
Manual consolidation controls give operational teams full authority over complex or irregular freight scenarios where automated rules alone cannot account for the unique requirements of particular cargo.

Before
Transvirtual
vs.
- Manual phone and email bookings with multiple ugly freight couriers for every individual shipment
- No centralised record of dimensional data, weight restrictions, or special handling requirements across consignments
- Transporting ugly freight often incurs higher costs due to the need for special handling, custom packaging, and dedicated transport solutions
- Customers left uninformed about shipment status, delivery milestones, and exceptions during transit
- Proper handling and preparation of oversized items for shipping is crucial to mitigate risks of damage during transit and ensure compliance with local and international shipping regulations
- Disputes involving high-value machinery, industrial equipment, and construction equipment resolved slowly without documentation
After
Transvirtual
- A single platform captures dimensions, consolidates shipments, and automatically assigns specialist carriers based on freight type, destination, and requirements
- Custom handling instructions travel with each shipment so carriers know exactly how to manage oversized, fragile, or irregular freight
- Rule-based automation selects suitable carriers for remote, permit-required, or flatbed deliveries
- Public tracking links and automated notifications keep customers updated at every milestone
- Invoicing controls and carrier reconciliation help eliminate hidden costs and simplify multi-leg billing.
- An integrated ticketing system tied to consignments and invoices enables fast resolution of delivery issues with full communication history and documents
You will never regret making the switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each country has unique rules for maximum dimensions and weight limits for oversized transport, impacting shipping logistics. In Australia, any load exceeding 2.5m in width, 4.3m in height, or 19m in length is generally classified as oversized.
Items classified as ugly freight may include large machinery, vehicles, fragile items, hazardous goods, and time-sensitive shipments, all of which present unique logistical challenges. Transporting ugly freight often incurs higher costs due to the need for special handling, custom packaging, and dedicated transport solutions.
Oversized freight often brings higher costs due to the need for specialised equipment, permits, and sometimes route surveys to ensure safe transport. Haulage may require low loader trailers for tall machinery or extendable trailers for long loads, along with strict compliance requirements.
Permits must be obtained from relevant authorities such as the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, adding extra time and administrative complexity. Permit timelines can vary significantly, with some regions requiring weeks to secure necessary documentation for oversized transport.
Proper handling and preparation are also critical to reduce the risk of damage and meet local and international regulations.
For shippers, one of the biggest challenges is simply finding the right carriers with the right equipment and capability for each job. Transvirtual helps solve this by giving access to a comprehensive carrier directory, making it easier to connect with specialist oversized freight carriers that can handle complex shipping requirements.
Proof of delivery is captured with image uploads and documentation directly linked to each consignment, providing a clear and auditable record for high-value or bulky items — supporting fast dispute resolution and protecting all parties involved in the transportation of oversized goods.
