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.
