Enhancing service delivery a constant objective – Weelson

An increase in business
confidence in Zimbabwe
has pushed up activity in
the region despite the volatility
of global markets, says Deon
Weelson, managing director of
Pioneer Transport and Pioneer
Coaches.
“Along with the other SADC
countries Zimbabwe is an
extremely important market for
us,” he told FTW.
Pioneer Transport specialises
in the provision of cross-border
freight, logistics and passenger
transport across the SADC
region.
“It is about turning
challenges into opportunities,”
says Weelson. “It is important
when dealing in the African
market to be able to offer a
consistent and safe service with
emphasis on the value adds.”
This is not always easy
in the volatile market that
is Africa where challenges
like bottlenecks and long
waiting periods at border
posts can affect delivery times
negatively.
The company constantly
invests and upgrades its fleet
and other facilities, said
Weelson.
“We have recently introduced
a new transport management
system that will be unique to
our business and enhance our
service delivery capabilities.”
