Endeavour Wool
Australia's second largest wool exporter streamlined grower engagement and operations with a branded app for consignment tracking, market updates, and compliance management.
Key Results
The Challenge
Endeavour Wool Exports (EWE) is the second largest exporter of Australian wool. Founded in 2017 by Joshua Lamb, Warwick Eddington, and Stuart Greenshields, the business operates from Laverton North, Victoria, with an extensive grower network across Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia. Their clients — select early-stage processors in China, Italy, Japan, and India — rely on consistent deliveries of quality Australian wool.
With a growing grower network, increasing export volumes, and strict sustainability certifications (RWS and Sustainawool), Endeavour needed a digital platform to bring structure to grower engagement, consignment tracking, and compliance — replacing manual processes that couldn’t scale with the business.
Our Solution
Ashgrey Digital built a branded mobile app and operations platform tailored to the wool export supply chain.
Grower Engagement App
A dedicated mobile experience for wool growers in the network:
- Consignment tracking — growers can follow their clip from farm gate through to sale and export
- Market updates — real-time wool market pricing and overseas market intelligence pushed to the app
- Clip management — record wool clip details, quality specifications, and shearing schedules
- Direct communication — message the Endeavour team for marketing advice on when and how to sell
- Compliance documentation — submit and manage RWS and Sustainawool certification paperwork
Operations Platform
A centralised system for the Endeavour team to manage the business:
- Auction and private buying management — track purchases across auction and broker channels
- Export logistics — manage shipping schedules, container allocation, and international dispatch
- Quality grading — record and track wool specifications from lot to delivery
- Client management — maintain relationships with international processors, including order history and delivery preferences
- Inventory management — real-time visibility across warehoused stock at Laverton North
Google Workspace Integration
Connecting the team across regional Australia:
- Shared calendars for auction dates, shearing schedules, and export deadlines
- Google Drive for shared documentation and compliance records
- Email integration for grower and client correspondence
- Collaborative tools for the team across VIC, NSW, and SA
Sustainability & Compliance
Supporting Endeavour’s commitment to responsible wool:
- RWS certification tracking from source to final product
