The Problem
Bohaul Express has been a trusted name in freight transport between Melbourne and Perth for over 50 years, moving everything from computers to steel across one of the longest freight corridors in the country. Their digital presence needed to match that reputation for reliability, and it needed to work in the conditions their customers and operations actually run in. Freight is not an office-hours, desktop-browser business: people check on consignments from depots, yards and the road, often on mobile connections that are slow or intermittent. A heavy website that only performs on good broadband is effectively unavailable at the moments it matters most.
What JABA Built
JABA designed and built a lightning-fast Progressive Web App that reflects the company's commitment to quality, efficiency and safety. The platform gives customers quick access to essential information about Bohaul's services, the ability to track shipments and request quotes, on desktop or mobile, with intuitive navigation that makes managing freight needs straightforward. The site showcases Bohaul's state-of-the-art linehaul trucks equipped with airbag suspension and their dedication to careful handling and smooth delivery across states, and in keeping with their customer-first philosophy it keeps staff easy to reach through clearly placed contact forms and direct links to individual departments.
What Was Technically Interesting
This is the clearest case in our portfolio for choosing a PWA on operational grounds rather than aesthetic ones. Freight moves across thousands of kilometres of regional Australia where mobile coverage is inconsistent, and a Progressive Web App keeps delivering optimal performance even where the connection is slow, because it caches and serves content rather than re-downloading everything on each visit. It also installs to a home screen, so the site behaves like an app without the expense of building and maintaining separate native versions for a business whose users are spread across two states. The result mirrors the reliability the company has been known for across five decades: available when needed, regardless of where the user happens to be standing.
Business Outcome
Bohaul Express has a digital presence that matches the standard of service they have built over more than fifty years, accessible across all devices and dependable even on poor connections. Customers can find service information, track goods and reach the right department quickly, which reduces the phone traffic that would otherwise handle every routine enquiry and keeps the company contactable in the way modern freight customers expect.
