Logistics Monitoring System - LMS

Cost and time are often the main considerations when it comes to moving goods through Africa. However, geo-political related security events threaten the safety of conveying goods thus impacting transport corridors and countries.

This very notion is raised by Mr Gavin Kelly, chairperson of The Road Freight Association (RFA) on 9 July 2023, response to recent trucks attacks on the N3 and N4, " South Africa’s “Gateway to Africa” status has been lost and these attacks will further cement the move of transit freight from South Africa to neighbouring countries. Port revenues will drop, as will income through all support and related freight logistics users."

The Logistics Monitoring System (LMS), using Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) data, highlights the risk of these regional security events on the movement of goods, along transport corridors, in the below graphic. It is clear that land locked African countries have alternatives to South Africa.

Our Logistics Monitoring System currently tracks 61 border posts and 54 regional trade routes, 100,000 heavy motor vehicles, 72 economic zones, and generates 100,000 vessel data points per week, giving our clients unprecedented visibility into logistics movement across the African continent. This enables businesses to optimize their supply chain, reduce costs, and improve efficiency by identifying areas where improvements can be made.

One of the key benefits of our Logistics Monitoring System is the analytics and reporting capabilities it provides. Our system can analyze vast amounts of data from multiple sources, providing our clients with meaningful insights into their performance across a range of key metrics relative to the industry.
