Logistics Management
Logistics management is that part of the supply chain which plans, implements and controls the efficient and effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods - between the point of origin and the point of consumption. It is an integrating function, which aims to co-ordinate and optimise logistics activities. At QONTRAC, we like to refer to this function as ‘Managed Logistics’.
Our approach to managed logistics is shaped by our belief that it should not be the product of owned assets – because of the financial and capacity restraints of owned assets. One of our key differentiators, therefore, in our managed logistics service offering, is our ability to procure logistics service providers of choice, and to combine and then package their separate service offerings into one service. We enhance this by leveraging our resources, our expertise, our people, our experience and best of breed technologies.
Also setting us apart from competitors is our proven track record, our knowledge, experience and reputation - gained over more than 37 years of moving large load volumes and managing various service providers. It ensures peace of mind for new and existing customers.
Our skilled, knowledgeable and motivated people are supported by leading operational systems and best-of-breed information technology.
The scale of our network footprint is vast, as a result of our large blue-chip client base. Our operations today span 14 African countries.
QONTRAC is passionate about driving business improvement, and our ability to drive client competitiveness is founded on several cornerstones in our managed logistics offering, including scalability and a trusted service offering that allows our clients to focus on improving and growing their core business. The scale and balance of our network also affords our clients larger choice and greater market potential, while our dedicated focus on continuous improvement initiatives ensures that they realise any potential savings.
QONTRAC is responsive to its customer. In a world of large conglomerates, we continue to operate with a small headquarters to ensure that you can reach those that are leading the effort. Our model of business allows for the visionaries, operators, and technicians to sit together around one table to develop efficient, low cost solutions that will deliver results without sacrificing quality. Another benefit is that we maintain lower administration fees and invest where it is needed most – in the field. Our staff has worked to develop standard processes and procedures to guarantee a mobile and agile workforce that will efficiently manage your projects world-wide. This model has been so successful; it has enabled our ongoing growth and success.
