UK logistics and trade management platform with data modernization focus
Uniserve is the UK's largest privately owned logistics and global trade management provider, serving retail supply chains across sea, air, and road freight. The company is actively migrating manual reporting to Fabric and Power BI while integrating new data sources into Delta Lake—a strategic shift toward automated analytics that aligns with their operational pain points around cost optimization, delivery efficiency, and compliance. Hiring velocity is accelerating, concentrated in logistics and operations roles across the UK and Australia.
Uniserve operates as a full-service logistics platform for UK retail supply chains, offering sea freight, air freight, European and international road freight, and global trade management services. Founded in 1984, the company employs over 500 people in the UK with additional staff globally. The platform is built on Microsoft infrastructure (Office 365, Intune, Citrix for distributed teams) and legacy TMS systems, with an emerging data stack running Apache Spark, SQL, Python, and Delta Lake on Fabric. Core operational challenges center on cost reduction, delivery reliability, regulatory compliance in transport, and equipment downtime—areas where their data modernization projects directly apply.
