Growing its cross-border
portfolio is a key strategy for
One Take Logistics, according to
its operations manager Preston
Pillay.
“We plan to open offices at
several borders to create an
environment where we can take
total control of the entire process,
ensuring a more efficient and
cost-effective service,” he told
FTW.
He said with cross-border
volumes on the increase, efficiency
and competitive pricing would
play a more significant role in the
future.
And while the outlook for crossborder
trade is positive, Pillay
believes that all stakeholders need
to join forces to address non-tariff
barriers.
These range from unnecessary
delays and stops at border posts
to high tariffs, slow and costly
customs procedures and the lack
of infrastructure.
