Perth-Based Indrus secures $526 K to Expand AI-Powered Logistics Technology

Founded in April 2025 by Ryan Liebregts and Dre Siwela, Indrus develops AI and computer vision technology to improve logistics yard operations. The two co-founders met while studying mechatronics engineering at Curtin University.

AI Technology for Logistics Operations

Indrus uses computer vision and artificial intelligence to monitor trucks, trailers, and equipment in real time. Its technology works with existing camera systems installed at logistics sites, helping businesses track vehicle movements and improve operational visibility.

The platform aims to address delays and inefficiencies in logistics yards, which can affect warehouse operations, delivery schedules, and overall supply chain performance.

Growing Customer Adoption

Indrus has already deployed its technology with large logistics businesses in the United States and secured a pilot project with a major Australian port.

The company has recorded more than 200,000 camera hours and tracked over 50,000 vehicles through its deployments. It also plans to begin projects with Australian retail, third-party logistics, and fast-moving consumer goods companies in 2027.

Funding and Investor Support

The pre-seed round was led by Purpose Ventures, whose managing director, Derek Gerrard, said the firm had known the founders before Indrus was formally established.

He said the company’s vision of bringing logistics operations into a new era was a key reason behind the investment.

The funding will support team expansion and help Indrus bring its technology to additional logistics facilities.
