About TSI

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.
