Our position
Why we build for transport & logistics
Logistics margins live in fuel, utilisation and time. We build the systems that make each of those visible and then improve them — route optimisation that accounts for actual road conditions, proof of delivery that holds up in a dispute, and fleet analytics that predict a breakdown before it strands a load.
Regulations we design against
- National Road Traffic Act 93 of 1996
- Road Transport Management System (RTMS) accreditation
- Cross-Border Road Transport Act 4 of 1998
- Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993
- Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA)
- SARS customs and excise documentation requirements
Challenges
What people in this sector actually raise
These are the problems that come up in a first meeting, with the cost of leaving each one unaddressed.
- 015–12% of fuel spend lost to theft and inefficiency
Fuel cost and theft
Fuel is the largest controllable cost and the least controlled, with consumption reconciled long after the fact.
- 0215–25% more kilometres than necessary
Manual route planning
Routes planned by experience rather than optimisation, and rarely re-optimised as loads change.
- 03Written-off claims and delayed payment
Proof of delivery disputes
Paper PODs lost or illegible, weakening the position when a delivery is disputed.
- 04Missed loads and expensive emergency repairs
Vehicle downtime
Reactive maintenance taking vehicles out of service at the worst moment.
- 05Days of delay per incident at Beitbridge and Lebombo
Cross-border delays
Documentation errors discovered at the border rather than at loading.
What we build
Systems for transport & logistics operations
Route optimisation
Multi-drop optimisation accounting for vehicle capacity, time windows, road quality and traffic.
Telematics and fuel analytics
Consumption per vehicle, driver and route with automated exception alerts.
Digital proof of delivery
Signature, photograph, GPS and timestamp captured offline and available immediately on sync.
Predictive fleet maintenance
Service scheduling driven by condition and utilisation rather than a fixed calendar.
Warehouse management
Receiving, putaway, picking and dispatch with barcode and RFID verification.
Cross-border documentation
Document completeness validated at loading rather than at the border post.
AI opportunities
Where AI genuinely pays in this sector
Ranked by how proven the approach is. We are explicit about what is experimental, because deploying an experiment as though it were proven is how AI programmes lose credibility.
ETA prediction
provenArrival prediction from historical performance on the specific route, corridor and time of day.
Typical return30–45% improvement in ETA accuracyDriver behaviour scoring
provenHarsh braking, speeding and idling scored and coached, improving both safety and fuel.
Typical return6–11% fuel savingLoad consolidation optimisation
emergingAutomatic identification of consolidation and backhaul opportunities across orders.
Typical return8–14% reduction in empty runningDamage detection at handover
emergingVision-based condition capture at collection and delivery to resolve damage disputes.
Typical returnReduced claim leakage

Questions
Transport & Logistics — common questions
The questions we are asked most often by operators in this sector.
Do you supply the tracking hardware?
No — we integrate with what you already run. Cartrack, Netstar, MiX Telematics and most other providers expose APIs we consume, so there is no need to change supplier.Does the driver app work without signal?
Yes. Delivery capture is fully offline, including photographs and signatures, and syncs when the vehicle reaches coverage.Can it handle cross-border operations?
Yes, including multi-currency, document completeness checks before departure and corridor-specific ETA models for the major crossings.How long does route optimisation take to show results?
Usually within the first month. The kilometre reduction is immediate; the fuel and maintenance benefit follows over the quarter.
