SUPPLY CHAIN incorporating every aspect of the supply chain .
Mhango added : “ Transportation is just the first step of what we do here at Transtech . We strive to provide our clientele with a more comprehensive solution . All cargo transported on our trucks is considered bonded which then allows our clients to defer duty payments until the consignment arrives at its final destination .” This means that cargo doesn ’ t get delayed by customs officials which may in turn incur storage costs .
So , with its 20th anniversary approaching in 2017 , what does the future hold for Transtech ? As well as growing its fleet in the next few months , the company is also focusing on other markets , including domestic routes and consolidated work . A new department focusing on consolidation has been opened , as Mhango explained : “ We have started to target private clients who may only have five or 10 tonnes of cargo to move . We have a warehouse on our premises and can consolidate all their products and once we secure enough cargo to make a full truck load we are good to go . We are currently dispatching two consolidated trucks a week but we are looking to improve that statistic to at least five a week by 2016 .”
In a difficult economic environment , it seems that Transtech is rising to the challenge . Mhango concluded : “ We are a growing organisation but we cannot just be a single-solution firm , we have to stand out from the rest , that is the only way we can achieve growth .”
