New track and trace system adds value for M&B customers

Implementing a complete “track and
trace” system is one of the ways M&B
Transport is improving its service across
the borders of Africa
With three offices opened in
Swaziland, Botswana and Durban in the
past three years, the company is set to
outperform its 2008 targets this year, despite
the economic crunch, says Daniel Singleton,
M&B Transport general manager.
“Our cross-border cargo has seen a
definite increase in recent years, especially
to Botswana and Lesotho.”
He attributes the growth to good
representation and word-of-mouth
validation of its service.
“Our new track and trace system will
allow clients to log onto the internet and
with their unique password track and trace
their goods at any given time.”
According to Singleton this process will
save not only time but also money. “To
add further value to our service, we have
increased our fleet capability with four
more long haul vehicles and four local
distribution vehicles.”
This, Singleton said, was despite the
market suggesting caution. “We have to be
able to service our market fully and to do
that we had to grow the infrastructure.”
