Spedag Interfreight at the end of last year unveiled their real-time tracking solution PeriSpoor to more than 500 interested stake-holders. The innovative technology allows tracking of cargo along its journey by sea, rail and road. From or to any seaport around the world or from any location in Eastern Africa, Spedag Interfreight customers can track their goods both by mobile app and web application showing the position in real-time on google maps.
The service feature was developed by Periplus, Switzerland, a start-up company focusing on incremental innovation solutions for the logistics industry. Unveiling the service, Daniel Richner the company chairman said, “It is our first jointly developed solution with this young start-up. The speed of its realisation in only a few months is impressive and the potential for enhancements are enormous. “
Dilip Bhandari, CEO Spedag Interfreight said, “We need these primarily commercial presences to serve our esteemed customers in their respective industries and country of operations, whether it is in energy and infrastructure on one side or aid and relief on the other.”
The group also unveiled their expansion plan and decision to open offices in Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi where they hope to continue working closely with their existing agents and partners.
A statement issued by the company said Spedag Interfreight was leading the way, “offering bespoke logistics solutions to the oil & gas Industry where they are working with many prominent companies. Oil & gas activities are gaining momentum in East Africa and as a market leader, we are well positioned to embrace the needs.”
