We have a long track record of superior safety standards, drivers and specialised assets, which is critical in highly regulated sectors like petrochemicals and mining.

In South Africa, our logistics operations have Level 2 B-BBEE credentials with 54.43% black ownership, 35.71% black women ownership.

We have sufficient scale and capacity to execute large projects quickly and effectively.

We are the largest supplier of sugar transportation solutions in southern Africa and fuel transportation solutions in Eswatini and Botswana.

We have developed unique expertise and innovation in equipment designs for the poultry sector.

Our people transportation business in South Africa incorporates three verticals: passenger, commuter and managed services. Its backward integrated model allows buses used in certain operations to be repurposed at end of life for use in lower specification operations to maximise asset utilisation and allow for increased returns.

Our supply chain re-engineering and warehousing skills and expertise deliver value to our industrial, FMCG and petrochemical clients on a continuous basis.

Our passion and commitment towards operational excellence ensures service delivery and risk management at the highest standards building resilience and sustainability into our customers’ networks.

We have completed a client-specific risk, health and safety initiative to minimise the risk of personal injury or damage to vehicles.

We have continued to invest, via the Unitrans Control Tower, in a system to manage driver fatigue proactively. This enables us to monitor and minimise the occurrence of these events.

We have introduced a route optimisation module to our control tower functionality, allowing for enhanced route planning as well as turn by turn expediting services.

We have invested in a best-of-breed workshop system with expanded functional value-added opportunities embedded in the application.

We have invested in the integration of various operational systems in order to provide a seamless experience for all stakeholders in the business, from operational data capturing and execution through to management reporting.

We have rolled out a leading transport management system, allowing real time visibility of all drivers and the various routes. This oversight has resulted in improved efficiencies across the business, with cross-border transportation delays reduced by up to 30%.

We have developed smart farming solutions, which will make use of data analytics to assist our clients to increase crop yields and reduce costs, through improved visibility.

We have rolled out driver tags and route optimisation as part of our continuous improvement initiatives.

We are in the process of developing a digital cash collection solution, which will not only improve efficiencies, but also enhance our drivers’ safety.
