As African supply chains grow in complexity, the need for integrated, technology-enabled transport solutions has never been greater. Grindrod’s road transport service offering is responding to this challenge by delivering safe, efficient and cost-effective road transport solutions from origin to Grindrod’s terminals and intermodal facilities and on to global markets.
With more than 100 years of logistics experience and access to a fleet of 800 trucks operating across eight Southern African countries, Grindrod combines deep regional knowledge with innovative systems to ensure reliable cargo movement across agricultural, mining and project cargo sectors.
Safety is a cornerstone of the operation, supported by ongoing driver training and rigorous compliance standards. This focus has resulted in industry-leading safety performance, even on high-volume, long-distance routes.
Digital transformation has further strengthened performance. End-to-end execution visibility, real-time communication and automated financial processes are now delivered through a newly developed customised Transport Management System featuring several “industry-firsts”. The result is improved collaboration with carriers, faster invoicing cycles and enhanced accountability across the supply chain.
By aligning the road transport service with Grindrod’s other divisions, such as the terminal and intermodal facilities, ships agency, clearing and forwarding, project cargo services, and rail, Grindrod offers an integrated, efficient and cost-effective logistics solution, supporting Africa’s exporters while contributing positively to the communities in which it operates.
