How businesses win with the right freight forwarding partner
Selling and shipping goods has never been bigger. Personal and business buyers are flocking to e-commerce and other modern retail experiences, driving growth in the online retail market towards R130 billion in 2025*
But such growth creates challenges. Consumers expect a seamless experience, from finding products to receiving their purchase. This includes features such as mobile commerce and faster/same-day delivery. To stay competitive, companies must deliver on these expectations by offering integrated omni-channel services, flexible delivery options, and effective cost management.

Selecting the right freight forwarding partner
Freight has evolved and it's time to rethink freight forwarding strategies. The focus should go beyond mere optimisation. Companies need to focus on fully integrating freight forwarding into business operations, driving measurable outcomes, and building agility and resilience. On a practical level, they must start by defining a clear logistics profile, including product types, shipping routes, services requirements, and budget constraints. The goal is to become Africa's first truly integrated, carbon-neutral, technology-native logistics platform that serves the continent and expertise to the global marketplace.
