Simplifying Global Trade Through Technology and Expertise
At TSI Central Station, we set out with a clear mission: to revolutionize global trade by combining cutting-edge technology with decades of logistics expertise. We aim to provide importers, exporters, and businesses like yours with the most seamless, transparent, cost-effective transport and logistics solutions.
In a market crowded with 3PL and 4PL providers, many fall short in service and pricing. We listened to the frustrations of our clients—delays, lack of transparency, and inconsistent information. TSI Central Station was born from these challenges to deliver a service where you always have access to real-time, accurate data, when it matters most.
Gone are the days of being told “your shipment is on the way” when it isn’t. With our self-developed platform, we offer real-time visibility, intelligent cost control, and operational efficiency tailored specifically to the needs of importers and exporters.
But technology alone isn’t enough. Our team brings over 20 years of industry experience, ensuring that every solution is backed by deep logistical knowledge. TSI Central Station’s system is more than just a tracking tool—it’s a complete logistics management solution, driven by professionals who understand the complexities of the trade.

Making global trade easy was our goal by using technology to navigate the complexities and to be able to deliver you the most modern, transport & logistics experience, that is cost-effective.
With so many transport and logistics companies in South Africa offering similar services, we had to create a business that addressed the elephant in the room, poor service and excessively high prices.
So we looked at all the 3pl & 4pl’s companies and identified the problem. That is why we created TSI Central Station because of the frustration of the client (you) not having the real-time facts and information when you needed it most, we also saw that the transport costs in logistics needed addressing.
Being told that “the truck/shipment is on the way or just around the corner” and the truth was, it wasn’t.
So, we developed our platform that addresses all the problems facing importers/exporters and local transport, that you need as a business owner/operator. The truth is that a platform is just that, without the professional logistics expert behind it, it is just another track and trace system and ours is certainly not.
Our staff all have been in the industry for over 20 years and coupled with the self-developed technology is a unique offering. Please see what our clients say by clicking here
Our system is only a tool in the complex world of logistics, however, this tool coupled with our staff will take your transport & logistics to the next level.
Only TSI Central Station can offer you a truly independent view of your entire transport & logistics, come join us by becoming part of the future of logistics.

Surviving the 2026 Shutdown
China will go on holiday in 2026 and the world will feel the impact.
Hundreds of millions of people travel for the holiday. A large percentage do not return to the same factory. This limits experience on the line and creates training gaps that show up as slower production and higher error rates.
Chinese New Year is not just a holiday. It is the largest annual human migration on Earth. With factories closing, workers traveling, and logistics networks halting, failing to prepare creates risks of 4 to 6 week delays. The 2026 cycle adds extra pressure as the global supply chain remains tight.
Progress on Paper, Pressure on the Ground
Over the last week the logistics sector showed two very different pictures. Transnet secured a R6 billion sustainability-linked loan that should support long-term improvements across ports and rail. At the same time operations on the ground remained under pressure. Cape Town faced repeated wind closures, Durban ran close to capacity and border congestion increased across the region. Airfreight continued to offer strong uplift as perishables and high-value cargo kept demand high. The key takeaway is simple. Structural investment is moving forward but traders still need tight planning to manage the daily operational shifts across South Africa’s logistics network.
South Africa’s Logistics Network is Improving but Still Inconsistent
South Africa’s logistics system is showing gradual improvement, with stronger rail volumes and higher container throughput compared to last year.
