Our Management services department will guide you in making informed and the correct choices of improving your own infrastructure to acceptable standards of service delivery.

​

The biggest hurdles and challenges in the industry are that you will encounter a sound cash flow and overall financing of your business. For this reason, we outsourced and obtained the services of a group of well-established, well-organized, financial experts and advisors.

​

Their cost breakdown for these services is as follows;

Lack of capital “Cashflow” and skills in our industry normally turns out that the business will result in failure. Transport businesses in South Africa have a ‘low barrier of entry’ at the bottom of the market, meaning that anyone with an old Truck, Bakkie, Cell-phone, and internet facilities can start offering transport co-ordination services.

​

Resulting in an oversupply competing at the bottom end of the transportation-market, we will assist you to enter and compete in a more professional sector of the transportation market.

​

In most instances, people will start a business with little to no capital, relying instead on revenue resulting from the business to cover all overheads from day one, severally limits your ability as far as marketing your activities positively that should have resulted in a positive cash-flow. Lack of capital normally limits you severally in purchasing adequate, dependable trucks to empower you to render professional reliable services to your Clients.

Insufficient funds will limit you to develop your business on par with other successful transportation companies, limiting your ability to source and deliver exceptional services to blue-chip creditworthy companies, with the undesired result that you will be forced to take on work from questionable brokers that might not be reliable or paying on time ensuring that your cash-flow will deteriorate even more.

​
