Distribution managed with control, visibility and follow through.
TSI Central Station manages distribution for South African importers, exporters, clearing agents and corporate clients. We coordinate the delivery plan, transport execution, proof of delivery and communication through one accountable logistics team.
Delivery is where promises are tested.
A shipment is not complete until the goods are delivered, proof of delivery is received and the client knows the job is closed.
- Delivery planning and scheduling
- Transport coordination through approved operators
- Proof of delivery follow up
- Communication from dispatch to delivery close out
Distribution needs more than a vehicle and a delivery address.
Distribution is where the logistics promise becomes real. A shipment can move well through port, customs and transport but still fail at the final stage if delivery planning, communication and proof of delivery are weak.
TSI Central Station manages the delivery process through one accountable logistics team. We coordinate the delivery plan, transport execution, communication, proof of delivery and close out so clients are not left chasing multiple parties.
This gives importers, exporters, clearing agents and corporate clients better control over the final leg of the shipment.
Distribution is not finished until the delivery is completed and properly closed out.
What we coordinate
TSI manages distribution with a focus on delivery planning, execution control and communication. The objective is simple: goods must arrive when expected and the proof must be available quickly.
- Delivery planning and scheduling
- Transport coordination through approved operators
- Communication with collection and delivery points
- Proof of delivery follow up
- Exception handling when delivery issues arise
- Close out reporting where required
Delivery control for the final leg of the shipment.
TSI Central Station manages distribution with a focus on planning, communication, delivery execution and proof of delivery.
Local delivery planning
We coordinate delivery planning from ports, depots, warehouses or collection points to final delivery locations.
Corporate distribution
We manage delivery requirements for corporate clients that need control, communication and delivery follow through.
Clearing agent support
We support clearing agents who need reliable delivery execution and proof of delivery control for their clients.
Proof of delivery control
We follow up on proof of delivery so the movement can be closed out quickly and accurately.
Delivery communication
We keep the relevant parties updated so the client knows what is happening before, during and after delivery.
Exception management
When delivery issues arise, we escalate and coordinate the next action instead of leaving the client to chase answers.
Poor distribution planning can turn a well managed shipment into a client service problem. TSI manages the final leg with the same discipline as the rest of the logistics process.

We manage exceptions

Does TSI Central Station provide distribution services?
Yes. TSI Central Station manages distribution for South African importers, exporters, clearing agents and corporate clients. We coordinate delivery planning, transport execution, communication, proof of delivery and close out.

What information is needed for a distribution estimate?
We need the collection point, delivery point, cargo description, cargo weight and dimensions, delivery deadline, receiving hours, vehicle access requirements and any special handling instructions.
Does TSI provide proof of delivery?
TSI follows up on proof of delivery and delivery confirmation where this forms part of the agreed service requirement. The process is managed so the client can close the movement properly.
Why is distribution control important?
Distribution control matters because failed deliveries, poor communication, missing proof of delivery and unclear responsibility can create cost, delay and client service issues.
Is distribution separate from road freight?
Road freight usually refers to the main transport movement. Distribution focuses on the planned delivery and final leg control. In practice, both need to work together to protect the client’s delivery commitment.
Important: Distribution should be planned before dispatch. Receiving hours, delivery access, contact details, delivery instructions and proof of delivery requirements must be clear before the vehicle moves.
