WiseTech Global to Cut 2,000 Jobs Amid AI-Driven Restructuring Over Two Years

WiseTech Global, an Australian logistics software firm, announced plans to cut about 2,000 jobs—nearly 29% of its 7,000-strong global workforce—over the next two years as it integrates artificial intelligence into its software and operations. CEO Zubin Appoo described this as a major shift, stating the era of manually writing code is over. The reductions will mainly affect product development, customer service, and the recently acquired US cloud computing arm, E2open. The move reflects broader trends of AI-driven workforce changes globally.
