Disruptions in the global logistics sector are likely to spur further mergers and acquisitions as multi-national firms seek to buy market share in difficult economic times.

But SMMEs that have the agility to adapt to change can thrive during the downturn and even outfox some larger firms.

Stephen Morris,

chairman of the International Federation of Freight Forwarders' Associations (Fiata) Customs Affairs Institute, raised concern that one disruptor, the rapid growth in online shopping, while impacting bricks and mortar retailers could also have a negative impact on the logistics sector as well as governments which stand to lose out on tax revenue.

Morris is a keynote speaker at next week’s SA Association of Freight Forwarders’ conference in Johannesburg where he will address delegates on the World Trade Organisation Agreement on Trade Facilitation among other topics.

Morris said global trade continued to be “ just hanging in there” post the 2008 recession.

“Airfreight capacity is

“down. Shipping capacity is down, and while trade in commodities in some places might be okay, changing patterns of people’s personal consumer preferences is having an impact. E-commerce is having an impact,” he said.

“And while you might go ‘that’s great it’s growing we have this wonderful world of shopping online’, in some cases there is a leakage of revenue in terms of VAT or GST from economies because certain economies like Australia don’t collect it under one thousand dollars,” he said.

Morris said this was not good for world trade and societies because as the Amazons and Alibabas of online shopping expanded with their offerings of cheaper goods, traditional bricks and mortar shops would shed jobs.

“It is good for the people who are selling goods offshore but it is not really good for SA or Australia in terms

of business investment, business opportunity, community obligations and employment – and there are changing business models. People now do JIT shipments a lot more; they will even back out of airfreight and go to two seafreight arrangements every three months because they know what their stock holdings will be and they can fulfil any shortfall through the express carriers industry – so the dynamics are changing for the logistics industry,” Morris said.

“Large multi-nationals have an ability to meet this challenge.

“Usually with online trade the parties integrate

Diesel Goods VehiclesThe South African Revenue Service (Sars) on 26 August announced an amendment of Part 1 of Schedule No 1 to the Customs and Excise Act, 1964 (“Ordinary Customs Duty”) calling for the substitution, insertion and deletion of various tariff subheadings in tariff headings 87.03 and 87.04 to reduce the rate of customs duty on diesel goods vehicles not exceeding 1 100 kg; petrol and electric passenger vehicles not exceeding 800 kg; and electric goods vehicles not exceeding 800 kg, from 25% ad valorem to free of duty.

As a consequence, Part 2B of Schedule No 1 to the Act (“Ad Valorem Excise Duties on locally manufactured goods or on imported goods of the same class or kind”) and Part 2 of Schedule No 6 to the Act (“Refunds and Rebates of Excise Duties, Fuel Levy and Environmental Levy: Rebates and Refunds of Ad Valorem Excise Duties”) are also amended.

The reasoning can be found in the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) Report 519.

Various Proposed AmendmentsOn 25 August Sars called for comment on its proposed draft amendments relating to various technical amendments in Part 1 of Schedule No 1 to the Act and Part 1 of Schedule No 4 of the Act “General Rebates of Customs Duties, Fuel Levy and Environmental Levy: Specific Rebates of Customs Duties”.

The draft amendments relate to (i) the substitution of general note G to insert abbreviations and symbols used in the Schedule to the Act; (ii) Draft amendments relating to various technical amendments in Part 1 of Schedule No 1 to Act; (iii) substitution of note 2(a)(d) in chapter 27; (iv) creation of a separate 8-digit tariff

subheading for mango juice classifiable in tariff heading 20.09 and deletion of tariff subheading 2008.99.60 with effect from 01 January 2017; and (v) Draft amendment in Part 1 of Schedule No 4 to the Act, to substitute rebate items 410.03/87.00/01.01, to remove the reference to rebate item 317.04 applicable to the Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP), with effect from 01 January 2017.

Comment is due by 08 September 2016.

Russian Federation GSPSars on 23 August called for comment on its proposed amendment of rules under section 46A3 to the Act relating to the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) for the Russian Federation, which it administers. The rules are being amended to align it to the new enactments of the Russian Federation received from the South African Embassy in Moscow.

According to Sars the

rule amendments entail word changes but the administration remains unchanged. Some of the rule amendments include the addition of “least developed countries”, change in numbering to the rules of determination of the origin of goods, replacement of the term “Russian Federation” with “member state” and “common customs territory”.

Comment is due by 06 September 2016.

APDP RulesOn 26 August Itac announced the retrospective amendment, to 01 January 2016 of the Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP) rules.

The jury is out on the impact of government’s proposed 20% sugar tax on SA’s soft drinks industry with divergent arguments for and against depending on which side of the fence you’re sitting on.

According to the Beverage Association of SA (BevSA), representing the non-alcoholic beverages industry, previous attempts by other nations to use it as a means of reducing sugar consumption and the resultant national obesity trends have failed miserably,

It also warned that the proposed sugar tax on sweetened beverages would cost the local economy R14 billion, could trigger between 62 000 to 72 000 job losses and could push the country into recession.

It expressed extreme disappointment at what it termed “a discriminatory tax on sugar-sweetened beverages”.

“There is mounting data,” the association added, “showing that taxing one small part of consumers’ daily diet – sugar-sweetened beverages represent less than 10% of daily caloric intake – will not result in any significant decrease in overall sugar consumption.”

For example, a recent report by

private research university, Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico (Itam), on this tax in its home country revealed a minimal reduction of actual calories consumed. When accounting for the real-world substitution of other foods containing sugar, experts estimated a maximum reduction of six calories in the daily diet.

And BevSA cited other countries, like Denmark, that had repealed such

legislation because of what was described as “economic loss

and no improvement in public health”.

Not that the soft drinks industry has just sat back and moaned.

Over 40 industry players across all food and beverages

have agreed to and already adopted concrete steps to make

changes.What they have targeted are:

educating consumers; actively promoting low and no-calorie choices in soft drinks; a zero-based approach to marketing to children. They have also agreed to rapidly conduct a national caloric intake study. One which they said “will inform effective initiatives to reduce excessive sugar consumption, based on real data that reflects the real behaviour of SA consumers”.

Sugar tax could cost local economy R14bn


Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) is confident about its latest tariff application to the Ports Regulator of South Africa.

TNPA chief executive Richard Vallihu told FTW that the application was extremely important since the organisation had not been granted any increase last year.

“It would be remiss to try to pre-empt the Regulator process,” he said, “but we are fairly encouraged that we will get a positive response.”

TNPA has applied for an overall 8% tariff increase which – if granted – will be allocated as a 13.25% increase on marine services, 5% on containers, 5% on automotives and 8.30% on all bulk. TNPA also applied for a 25.11% increase for 2018/2019 and 9.54% for 2019/2020. This is in accordance with the multi-year tariff methodology although the

ports authority has to re-apply for an increase in each year.

“It is common knowledge we got zero percent increase last year,” said Vallihu. “It is all in keeping with the way we want to adopt a new progressive tariff reform that benefits our customers out there. How we appropriate the increase is very important.”

He said the strengthening of the relationship between the TNPA and the Port Regulator was also important and he described the relationship as “very healthy”. “There also has

to be that healthy tension between us. The principle that we apply is solid – infrastructure, transport and logistics are the key drivers for the economy. Transnet as a whole is very focused on bringing down the

cost of logistics in

the country and it is a key driver in our approach.”

The Port Regulator has in the past three years consistently

decreased TNPA’s tariff increase application. In 2014 the authority asked for 9.5% but was only granted a 4.8% tariff increase, while its 5.9% increase in 2015 was met with a zero percent increase.

Vallihu would not go into details about the loss of revenue due to the lack of a tariff increase this year. Reports following the 0% increase however estimated the lack of a tariff increase would reduce the authority’s revenue by more than R600m.

Analysts have criticised the tariff increase request in light of the current economic environment while also saying the country’s ports were still among the most expensive in the world, something that Transnet vehemently denies.

Concerns remain over TNPA factoring its capital expenditure in terms of the market demand strategy (MDS) into its tariff application.

Transport economist Andrew Marsay told FTW there were other solutions available to Transnet other than raising tariffs to pay for its

infrastructure investment.This included privatising

some of the existing container terminals. “Or at least allowing new private sector container terminals to be built in competition with Transnet,” he said. “Another option is to refocus rail investment on sectors where rail is intrinsically competitive – even if this means creating capacity ahead of current demand; when

the mining sector revives they will be ready to capitalise.”

He said at present much of the request for higher tariffs was based on the MDS investment but that should not be the only consideration for tariff increases.

Industry has until the end of September to submit comments on the requested tariff increase to the Ports Regulator.– Liesl Venter

“

Controversy is once again raging over the Tambo Springs development related to Transnet’s claim that it has all the necessary approvals for the re-alignment of the PWV 13/15 road – a vital access to the planned intermodal rail terminal near Johannesburg.

When FTW originally wrote about this proposed development some weeks ago, Transnet spokesman Molatwane Likhethe said all the necessary legal and administrative processes and development approvals were in place.

“These include the implementation of necessary formal processes required

for the realignment of the planned routing for the potential future PWV 13 road alignment to allow the development to occur as planned.”

He also said the realignment of the PWV13 road had been addressed.

But none of this appears to be in place, according to Francois Nortje of Francois Nortje Properties.

In the original story Nortje pointed out that, because this new alignment went deep into a serious flood line, the applicant would have to have the detailed design of the road before the environmental impact assessment (EIA)

could be done. “The detail in the design will determine the extent of the flooding it will cause to the houses on the other side of the river,” he added.

But, according to Transnet, this EIA had already been done and approved. FTW was told it had achieved “completion of the EIA processes leading to the formal issuing of a positive

Record of Decision required for the rezoning which allows the development to proceed

from an environmental perspective.”

However, Nortje assured us that, despite a senior member of his team having worked through all the provincial gazettes from 2012 to date: “Nobody has applied for, or

given notice of, any intention to re-align the PWV13/15.”

This of course means that the EIA process has not even officially started.

“Previously,” said Nortje, “I have said to you it will take them five years and cost them R50 million, and they will have a 20% chance of success. My professionals now think 10 years, R100 million and 10% chance of success.”

And, he added, “we have received no reply to our legal letter asking province where in the process they are with the application for the re-alignment of the PWV13/15”.

So let’s watch what happens in this space with interest.– Alan Peat

A South African start-up – that has developed an airborne scanner

– is taking the lead when it comes to revolutionising the warehousing industry.

According to Jasper Pons, founder of DroneScan, they are currently piloting the device with a major European company.

“DroneScan takes the function of a handheld scanner used in warehouse operations to check inventory and simply makes it airborne,” he said. “It packages the ability to scan in the air on a drone and send the information back to a base station for integration with warehouse systems.”

With the pilot project nearly 70% complete, the forecast for DroneScan is extremely positive.

“We believe it will be part of normal operations in large warehouses in five years. It will be a tool of the trade, like forklifts and scissor cages are today,” said Pons.

The system sees a barcode scanner attached to the DJI Matrice 100 drone.

“We have selected this

platform due to its indoor stability and guidance package, an array of sensors and cameras that allow us to manage indoor stability and navigation,” explained Pons. It's more than just a scanner; we incorporate our own distance and movement sensors and a internal map of the warehouse dimensions to offer a scan that tells warehouse operations what location or rack we have scanned and can compare in real time if the expected pallet is in its place or not.”

The benefits, he said, at a simplistic level could be boiled down to speed.

“We say we are 100 times faster than the normal methods. Any innovation that is 10 times better than its incumbent is normally a breakthrough.”

There are huge savings to be made using drones in warehouses to scan inventory. Time is not the only saving – the ultimate benefit will be in the lower cost of operations.

With the first pilot nearing completion, Pons

hopes to see more pilots and trials take place in 2017 before launching commercially in early 2018.

But there is still a lot of work to be done.

“Like any start-up and with new concepts it’s a lot to disrupt a very traditional operational area with a radical new technology,” said Pons. “So there are multiple areas that have challenges – from customer perceptions of where you are, to the reality of bringing a new product to the market while innovating and developing it as you go.”

Excitement over the development is, however, growing fast and rapid advancements are being made through the initial customer pilot.

“Being small and agile we are able to make the changes to hardware, software and operations inside our running projects and fine-tune the output,” said Pons.

“ As warehouse operators increasingly turn to sophisticated anti-theft devices to prevent shrinkage, online retailer Amazon.com has invested in the ‘name and shame’ option.

According to a recent report by Bloomberg, based on interviews with current and former warehouse and anti-theft staff, the online giant displays examples of alleged on-the-job theft on f latscreen TVs strategically positioned in its warehouses.

While the perpetrators are not named, each is represented by a black silhouette stamped with the word ‘terminated’ and details of the alleged crime – what was stolen, what it was worth and how they were caught – are all displayed.

Theft is a persistent concern for Amazon, with warehouses full of small but valuable items and a workforce with high turnover and low pay, reports Bloomberg.

According to a security consultant, there are some people who will never steal and some that will always steal. “You’re always trying to influence that middle group by reminding them there is a high probability they will get caught, and if I get caught, these are the consequences,” he told Bloomberg.

An innovative ‘Warehouse-in-a-Box' solution is gaining traction

in Africa, with Abidjan, the capital of Côte d'Ivoire, the latest recipient.

A unique answer to Africa’s supply chain challenge, the concept was developed by Imperial Logistics group company, Resolve, through its division Resolve Capacity.

The contract for Côte d'Ivoire was awarded in July 2014 to Imperial Health Sciences, for which Resolve Capacity is a service provider, and was implemented in Côte d'Ivoire on behalf of New Public Health Pharmacy (NPSP), the organisation responsible for the distribution of pharmaceutical products for public health institutions operated by the country’s Ministry of Health.

Along with its partners Turnkey Infrastructure Solutions, Resolve Capacity implemented its modular infrastructure solution for this $5.8-million, 4 095-sqm warehouse project, which includes administration facilities.

“We broke ground in October 2014, and were pleased to hand the warehouse over to NPSP in January 2016,” said Arno Haigh, managing executive at Resolve Capacity. This new warehouse will significantly enhance the pharmaceutical distribution network in Côte d'Ivoire, as well as storage capacity for the distribution of quality medicines.

The construction of the

prefabricated warehouse was the result of joint funding by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Global Fund for the Fight against tuberculosis, AIDS and malaria.

The new warehouse in Abidjan will allow for significantly increased pharmaceutical compliant storage capacity, and will help streamline the provision of HIV/AIDS-related and other health products. The number of people on antiretroviral therapy is increasing rapidly, which means an increased requirement for drugs and

supplies for screening, clinical laboratory testing and support.

Storage therefore needs to be increased at a national level, and this warehouse

will allow the NPSP to better organise its storage system and distribution to ensure continuous availability of essential medicines, according to Haigh.

“Many African countries

struggle with supply chain infrastructure, and warehousing in particular,” he added. “Existing warehouses are not effective, with shortcomings in

racking and cooling systems in particular. Warehouse-in-a-Box™ brings a unique solution to countries that need support in their healthcare initiatives, helping overcome infrastructure challenges and improving supply chains.”

The design enables the rapid commission and installation of a pharmaceutical-grade and compliant prefabricated warehouse with all the componentry required to deliver a total solution, packed and ready for delivery in 40-ft containers. “It addresses lack of supply chain infrastructure, limited storage space and lack of quality storage facilities," he added.

Suitable for both urban and rural settings, the standards and operational benchmarks are aligned with international supply chain principles.

“The commissioning of a Botswana dry port inside the Walvis Bay harbour precinct creates a number of opportunities for exporters and importers using the Trans Kalahari Corridor, according to Zunaid Pochee marketing and business development specialist for the Trans Kalahari Corridor Secretariat (TKCS).

Covering 30 000 sqm, the dry port is fully paved and has sufficient space for a warehouse.

Being inside the port fence it is fully bonded.

Pochee believes that the facility benefits both Botswana and South African shippers.

If more Botswana imports are routed through Walvis Bay it will help even the loads in and out of South Africa and therefore bring down the transport costs.

“We are calling on freight forwarders in Botswana and South Africa to work with consignees in order to identify back-hauls,” he says.

There are already signs that the message is getting through, with an increase in the quantity of project cargo bound for the mines in Botswana coming through Walvis Bay.

“For shippers in Botswana, Walvis Bay is the same distance as Durban – but the freight moves much more quickly through the port and along the corridor’s roads,” he says. – Ed Richardson

When it comes to warehousing, it’s not about the latest technology but rather what works for your company.

“Good warehousing does not mean it has to be fully automated and fitted with the latest technology,” says Martin Bailey, managing director of Industrial Logistic Systems (ILS).

“In fact there have been instances where we have seen automation take away from the bottom line. Not all the systems work and so it is important to install what does work rather than just having the latest technology available.”

At the same time it is essential to get the basics right and to ensure the warehousing component is part and parcel of the company’s supply chain strategy.

Bailey advises companies to look carefully at their long-term business strategy before investing in warehouse operations.

“What you need out of your business is an essential question to answer. It is only when you know where you are heading that you can

determine exactly what you will need to achieve that goal.”

Industry is increasingly recognising the key role that warehousing plays in the supply chain, according to Bailey.

“Warehouses are no longer just areas to store goods. A good warehouse gives a company a competitive advantage,” he says.

And it’s all about investing not only in the correct infrastructure and systems but also people to manage and operate warehouses.

“South Africa’s warehousing environment is a typical mix of the developed and still developing worlds. We have spots that are still very much just a roof for goods, but on the other hand we have some warehouses in the country that are right there with the best in the world. In some cases we have warehouses that are leading the field globally,” he says.

“But that does not necessarily mean the warehouse needs to be fitted with all the bells and whistles."– Liesl Venter

On October 1 SA Inland Logistics (SAIL) will relocate to new and bigger

premises in Durban as steady year-on-year growth has seen the company expanding beyond the scope of its current facility.

“We’re moving to a bigger site with bigger warehouse space and bigger yard space,” SAIL’s Gerald Naidu told FTW. “The fleet has grown to 54 trucks and in excess of 70 trailers. Our new facility will offer 6 000 sqm of covered warehouse space – a significant increase on the current 2 000 sqm.”

Growth has been a natural progression for the company, according to Naidu. “We’ve grown with our customers. We started off doing their transport and this has gradually expanded to include warehousing and

LCL movements.” In tough market conditions, innovation is key, and for SAIL this has been a strong focus.

“In conjunction with a team from India, we have developed our own in-house operating system – ERP – and we are seeing the benefits of it now.

“We have also introduced an android device with very good results.”

It enables customers to sign for receipt of their cargo on a wireless tablet. “When a driver delivers cargo, the customer signs the POD (proof of delivery) and this is sent back to the SAIL system electronically. We are now tweaking it so that it goes directly to the customer – which we see as an important

development.”And according to Naidu,

SAIL is the only transporter to have embarked on this on the FCL side. “Courier companies have introduced it but as far as

we are aware it’s not being done for FCLs.

“We’re always looking for ways of doing things differently and better. We run a true 24/7 operation and that plays a huge part.”

Once the company has relocated to its new premises, the warehouse will be top priority, according to Naidu.

“We currently have an in-house warehouse system that manages our line items from end to end so that at any given time we know what we are controlling. The moment

an instruction is logged it is visible to the entire team instantly and as it changes the change is also visible. We will continue spending money on information technology.”

Improving efficiencies is however at the heart of every development – and speedy turnaround has been a by-product of the company’s efficiency drive.

“We bring a lot of LCL cargo to our warehouse which we are picking from the various depots. We then consolidate on Superlink tautliners and send the cargo to Johannesburg. Within 48 hours of picking up from one of the depots we get cargo delivered directly to the client’s door. That’s how we have engineered the LCL side so that there’s no time lag.”

Twelve years since its launch, the company now employs 70 staff in its Durban and Johannesburg operations in addition to at least 60 drivers.

Warehouse capacity trebledRecent sweeping changes to the Labour Relations Act have forced warehouses to come up with smarter ways of dealing with outsourced labour or TES companies, according to general manager of Outsourced Project Solutions, Tyron Hubbart.

“The amendments to the LRA mean that after three months of work a TES employee effectively is deemed to be a permanent employee in terms of the LRA.”

OPS, he said, was not a TES company, but a project management company.

“Of course, by outsourcing their labour intensive activities as a project on a fixed rate, the warehouses are effectively hiring a contractor to handle a portion of their business. The warehouses no longer have to concern themselves with the burdens created by the LRA relating to the TES company, since they are no longer hiring labour, but are outsourcing an activity as a project.”

The South African warehousing landscape faces some real challenges –

and with technology on the increase the debate between labour and automation is set to heat up.

According to Carli Venter, general manager: solution development, Barloworld Logistics, the labour versus automation debate is a recurring theme.

“The debate of the return on investment for implementing a sophisticated automated system versus labour-intensive solutions is one that we foresee will continue for some time – especially due to the volatility and sometimes violent protests occurring more frequently in

the country’s labour force,” she told FTW. “These challenges have a vast impact on the economy as well as the day-to-day running of warehouse operations – and ultimately the supply to the end user of the stored products.”

Venter said South Africa’s warehousing landscape was influenced by a number of factors – and not only labour instability.

Rand volatility, rising energy prices and large distances between major ports and cities were ongoing challenges.

“Increasing operating costs is also a concern. With the constant rise in utility costs – including water and electricity, rates and taxes – the cost of running a warehouse becomes more expensive every

Technology and more technology is what can be expected in the warehousing industry, says Martin Bailey, managing director of Industrial Logistic Systems (ILS).

While not all of the technology will stand the test of time Bailey says some real gains have been made in warehouses, creating more efficiency.

“Greater variety, better systems, more integration, more efficiency and greater flexibility are all gains we have made,” he says.

The ongoing investment in technology has also meant that many of the newer systems and processes are costing less and have become easier to access.

“We often still lag behind in South Africa when it comes to the application of some of the newer technologies, but we are going to have to change our way of thinking,” he says. “It simply cannot be business as usual. South African companies are going to have to take a new approach, exploring

the range of options available to them as we are no longer competing nationally but at an international level.”

Warehouse automation will continue to dominate in the near future.

“As we look at these world class systems and technologies we are going to also have to take a look at how we operate and manage warehouses. It’s not simply a matter of automating a warehouse,” he explains. “There are a lot of things that have to first be in place – including having the appropriate infrastructure and the right people to then operate those systems. Training of warehouse employees will become crucial.”

He says automation immediately increases risk in the warehouse. “I have seen fully automated warehouses built without a proper strategy in place only to find that it

does not serve the needs of the business. There is no changing that after the fact like a manual warehouse,” he explains.

“Whilst these new technologies and systems do give the competitive edge and have a higher reward, it is just as much about installing

the right things in the right environment.”

He says sometimes automation can take months before being implemented correctly and a business needs to be able to withstand that.– Liesl Venter

Labour versus automation ignites heated debate

year. This leads companies to consider the option of outsourcing their warehouses and benefiting from cost consolidation and multi principle storage,” she explained. “At the same time the cost of capital to warehouse excessive numbers of line items for long periods of time becomes restrictive. We see more and more customers choosing to rather decrease line items to focus on category A fast movers, thereby increasing their stock turns and freeing up

capital to focus on sales.”She said outsourcing of

warehouse and distribution functions remained a solution for most of the supply chain challenges businesses faced today.

“It takes away the complexity and risk of dealing with fixed infrastructure costs, provides more flexibility, and allows firms to focus on

selling their product or service, creating brand awareness and increasing market share,” she said. “From a commercial perspective, gain share models

offer relief to customers by reducing their base cost and allowing for a further up-side if efficiencies are achieved. In this way cost reduction is not just driven from one side but is seen as a team effort – and both parties share in the reward of cost savings. The challenge still remains for the smaller customer to make sure that the cost of warehousing doesn’t outweigh profit margins.

“Vertical and specifically horizontal industry collaboration can be the step change that both customers and warehouse providers are looking for. However, customers are not always willing to share space with competing brands and logistics providers are perhaps not yet ready to share space with their competitors.”

As companies increasingly tune into the benefits of warehouse

optimisation, dimensioning for profit has become a key focus for just about every big distribution centre.

That’s the view of Barry Baetu, MD of mobile computer supply company, the Harmonic Group.

“We offer a range of solutions in the warehouse space,” said Beatu. “We

originally started in 1986 with barcoding and auto identifying – and six years ago got into dimensioning and weighing, primarily marketing the Cubiscan product.”

Essentially it measures the length, width, height, volume and weight of every product in the warehouse. “It’s become very important for the big retail groups and warehouses because they need to have in their database the details of every unique product and every sizing of that unique product, the dimensions and weights. Software will tell them where to store things, what resources they need to pick, what box size and what transportation they need to move the goods.”

While the bulk of the company’s customers are cargo owners, courier companies are increasingly

using their kit.“When people talk

of dimensioning and weighing,

they talk of

Cubiscanning. It’s imported from the US – and while the product changes from time to time, there are some customers who are working with 20-year-old systems.”

In terms of cost, this needs to be measured in cost benefits, in Baetu’s view.

“Some companies using the product are saving ten times what the product costs every year in optimisation and efficiency.

“And we don’t just sell products. We rent them and we also go in and offer a service to clients where we will take on with one of our machines and a team of people their master data.

“We go into their warehouse, dimensioning,

weighing, checking that the bar codes are good and writing it to a backend

system to update.”

Looking to the future, the major push for automation may make economic sense, but from an employment perspective, it would be a poor choice in the SA context.

“There are companies internationally that have cut their staff by 90% by deploying robotic fetchers and putters. But it’s not something we favour. What we encourage is greater efficiency which is what our range of products is all about.”

Headquartered in Johannesburg, the company has a branch in Cape Town and partnerships in Cameroun and Namibia.

In the fast-paced warehousing environment, investment in warehouse management systems (WMS) is critical, says Willie Nel, managing director of the ZacPak Group.

He says the local freight industry is somewhere between inventory warehouses and the full fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) environments – with the current systems catering for these sectors.

According to Nel, while the cost of a WMS may be high, they bring many benefits – including increased order accuracy, faster picking and receiving times, and better inventory control.

“At times integrated ERP systems can be so involved and complex that

any first line receipts may require a huge amount of information, which does not always meet the freight forwarding industry’s needs of quick warehousing intake,” he explains.

“The push information is far more proactive than the pull functionality of the past, and while standardisation always lends itself to efficiency, it's not always a one size fits all.”

To overcome this challenge, he

says, ZacPak has taken the core

functionality of a de-grouping system and added multiple

layers of functionality to cater for various transactional processes specifically targeted at

what the client needs. “Our system provides f lexibility and the ability to integrate with other systems."

According to Nel, ZacPak is currently rolling out

its FCL warehousing and distribution system to cater for multimodal movement and compliance with virtual bond store requirements. This will tie in with the company’s state-of-the-art de-grouping system.

“Our integrated system allows for total cargo visibility from origin to destination for our clients,” he says.– Liesl Venter

“Increased collaboration within specific industries to leverage available distribution networks and infrastructure is fast becoming a trend in the warehousing environment, according to Carli Venter, general manager: solution development, Barloworld Logistics.

“Rather than investing and having capital tied up in property and high levels of inventory, organisations are choosing to partner with a lead logistics provider and focus their time and investments on customer centricity and technology,” she told FTW.

“In South Africa collaboration is still limited to specific industries whereas in Europe and other more mature markets you will find more collaboration across industries and sometimes even between competing logistics companies.

“One of the current strong drivers to collaborate and share infrastructure and resources is the focus on reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact.”

A collaborative approach also makes sense in the current economic environment where often companies are feeling the pressure.

“Many organisations are experiencing significant cost pressure and the supply chain remains an area that provides opportunities for continuous improvement and cost savings,” said Venter. “We find that what is seen

as a stretch target today for specific KPIs becomes the standard tomorrow – and we continuously have to find new innovative avenues of unlocking value for our clients.”

According to Venter, the Barloworld Logistics philosophy has always been to design and develop solutions for clients aligned to specific strategy, supply chain needs and business requirements.

“With higher degrees of industry collaboration, the degree of specialisation for each client becomes reduced. Our focus then shifts to industry-appropriate solutions and finding ways to achieve cost savings that would not have been possible within the boundaries of a single supply chain.”

She said while the trend of outsourcing was set to continue in years to come, companies were increasingly starting to invest in growing their own logistics and supply chain capabilities in-house to drive value for their businesses.

“We anticipate that more and more organisations with a strong focus on supply chain rather than manufacturing will target other firms with a similar product base and distribution profile to incorporate them into their distribution network, thereby creating their own consolidation opportunities and cost savings,” she said.– Liesl Venter

Three years since its launch, Outsourced Project Solutions (OPS) is making

major inroads in the warehousing environment with a solution that general manager Tyron Hubbart believes is unique.

The company was launched in response to an increasing demand for an outsourced

solution for labour-intensive activities that are not part of a company’s core business model.

“Most labour-intensive activities require special supervision and management in order to ensure that productivity levels are maintained,” he said. “We build a project model to ensure that we can take these labour-intensive non-core activities from the client and

turn them into individual projects. Work is then invoiced on a per item basis to the client, and in many instances the staff are also remunerated per completed activity or task. Thus OPS is able to ensure that staff are never idle and are only paid for completed tasks – which has a dramatic and positive effect on productivity rates.”

This has proved particularly valuable in the warehousing space.

“A major challenge for warehouses is to keep to the strict turnaround times set by container lines and

transporters for the packing and unpacking of containers,” he said. “Adhering to these deadlines often requires the

use of labour that has limited time to load each container. The same constraints exist in bagging operations, where clients order the cargo to be bagged but have very tight delivery times. This often requires the bagging

plants, block stacking and loading to be completed on very strict deadlines.”

According to Hubbart these activities often take longer than planned resulting in additional labour costs

and punitive charges from transporters and shipping lines for delays.

“The secret is to maintain the required productivity on these activities to avoid any unnecessary costs. Most of these challenges are best solved by outsourcing these labour-intensive activities so that each activity can be managed by the contractor as a small project, with specific production targets and direct supervision,” he said. “Also, the contractor often charges a fixed per item rate, so there are never any variable costs for the warehouse. The warehouse pays a fixed rate per ton or per container, and it’s up to the contractor to ensure that he maintains productivity and manages the risks. The warehouse manager can then focus on the job of logistics as he no longer has to spend his hours chasing up teams of labour.”

Don’t overcomplicate the process and always ensure that staff are not engineered out of the system.– Jonathan Swiel

“Accurate and efficient stock control is one of the few areas that will have an immediate and positive impact on the bottom line of most organisations, says Jonathan Swiel, marketing director of MWT.

Relying on paper trails and manual data entries to manage a warehouse not only compromises worker productivity but also inventory accuracy. Traditional systems monitored manually either using a paper-based process or through simple spread sheets should be a thing of the past. In today’s fast moving

environment, these processes are becoming outdated.

The company, which offers warehouse management software packages and systems that can be customised, believes that not enough emphasis has been placed on this area in many small to medium-sized businesses.

Swiel says the benefits of a warehouse management system (WMS) cannot be emphasised enough.

“A comprehensive WMS helps streamline multiple functions of your business enterprise including receiving, put-away, controlled picking, packing, shipping and production management,” he explains. “One of the major challenges in the South African warehousing environment is not knowing what stock is on hand and not knowing where it is at all times. This information should be readily available in easy-to-read dashboards and reports that are accessible using desktops and smart devices.”

According to Swiel, inaccurate and poor stock

management directly affects efficiencies, cash flow, customer service and traceability. Another concern is lack of employee accountability.

“By implementing efficient warehouse management systems all of these challenges are overcome,” he says. “They must have the complexity to manage the important warehouse functions, but must be easy to use – allowing for information to be readily available and in real time.”

He says IT integration with other systems eliminates costly manual errors ensuring that all systems are on the same page.

“It also goes a long way towards combating shrinkage through accurate stock control. A WMS is vital to improving the efficiency of a company’s warehouse operations. Warehouses have

to comply with demanding quality, packaging, delivery and traceability standards.” Getting it wrong can have serious consequences commercially and affect customer service.

In addition, automated controls within the warehouse such as integrating scales, check weighers and dimensioners add substantial value by ensuring quality,

accuracy and traceability, says Swiel.

But with technology ever evolving he advises companies investing in these systems to keep it simple.

“Don’t overcomplicate the process and always ensure that staff are not engineered out of the system,”

he says. “Technology is getting faster, f lexible and more affordable.

Businesses must be taking more control of their stock as it is one of the few areas where a major impact can be achieved.” – Liesl Venter

Tariff protection should not be the only “tool” used to protect South Africa’s local steel industry from cheap imports as this then puts price pressures on the local downstream producers.

“When there is pressure on the primary producers, because of a glut of global steel and resulting cheaper import prices, the industry’s first response is always to call for higher import duties,” said Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa (Seifsa) chief economist, Henk Langenhoven.

This however resulted in a price increase for the downstream producers

who were beneficiating the raw steel, he pointed out, commenting that import tariff protection would always have winners and losers.

“It is important to protect the local primary

producers because, as an economy, we need to retain the skills and capabilities for local production. When the global steel glut dries up, the downstream producers will then

still pay a premium for imported steel,” said Langenhoven.

He suggested that the steel sector was far more diverse and that there were more dynamics at play than simply looking at raw steel producers and downstream producers as a whole. “It is unproductive to look at the

overall sector and attempt one-size-fits-all solutions such as import duties,” he said.

Instead, before decisions are made about ensuring the survival of the industry, the “powers-that-be” should fully analyse the respective dynamics of the sub-industries within the steel industry. “This will result in far more sustainable solutions that will revive the individual sectors,” said Langenhoven.

For example, while overall steel production had dropped 30% over the past nine years, there were sub-sectors that had actually seen a major production growth due to an increase in domestic demand, he highlighted. This includes a 56% growth in demand for locally produced machinery and machine parts and a 73% rise in demand for locally produced transport equipment.

And, once the analysis has been done and individual industry

protection solutions are devised, the sector as a whole will eventually recover.

“The analysis could provide useful insights and provide a more holistic picture of which steel sub-industry is exporting to which country and identify opportunities in new export markets based on price and product competitiveness,” Langenhoven pointed out.

The data and insights could also highlight opportunities for the industry sub-sectors to regain a stronger local share of the market.

“Therefore, instead of merely seeking import duties, alternative solutions could be crafted that could improve the competitiveness

of the sub-sector against competing import and export markets.”

Langenhoven said, for example, that if operational efficiencies were improved – through modernisation – products could be produced at a lower cost and therefore already be more competitive on the national, regional and global trade platform.

As full-service neutral operator Contra Consolidations celebrates its ten-year anniversary, the company is upbeat about future growth.

Managing director Martin Schulze told FTW that the company – established in 2006 – had always been one of the “new kids on the block” in terms of neutral consolidation services. “We had to prove our credibility and find a way to set ourselves apart from our competitors.”

The answer, said Schulze, was to deliver “exceptional service” which included specialising in documentation to ensure early release of goods.

“We also realised that to continue offering the level of service we hoped to become known for, we had to play to our strengths and partner with like-minded operators,” he said, noting that to ensure this, the company had teamed up with the largest independent neutral

operators in every country/region it served.

“This allows us flexibility in the trade services we offer, to be able to react faster to an unknown challenge and find another solution,” said Schulze.

The company started with one trade route partner out

of the United Kingdom and four staff members, and gradually built itself up as a European specialist before expanding to the Indian and Chinese markets.

“We are also excited about

the recent launch of our own service from the USA,” Schulze said, “which completes our global offering.”

Contra Consolidations’ plans include further seafreight expansion with regard to its African network and service offering.

“We have our own roadfreight services to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana and are looking

to expand those as well,” he pointed out. “Maintaining its point of difference – high service levels – has been largely due to the hard work and dedication of a very committed team.

“As for the future, we realise that technology is one of the key building blocks to global growth and in helping us connect our clients to the global trade stage. We are therefore currently upgrading our systems to ensure strong global capabilities and improved customer interface through enhanced electronic data interchange (EDI) and online solutions,” said Schulze.

He acknowledged that there were national and regional challenges to growth – including political instability, a wildly fluctuating rand and global economic woes – but highlighted that companies could manage these challenges by being flexible enough to adapt to change.

Last week’s top stories on

In what has been a very trying first half, Grindrod has recorded a whopping R1.1 billion loss for the year to June 30, after a profit of R303 million for the same period last year.

This as revenue plunged from R14.4bn to R11bn.

And, as a major contributor to this overall loss, it decided to sell its locomotive assembly business, which was not seeing any orders coming in from what is currently a pretty depressed African market – and no prospects of an order book in the near future.

The company’s rail business, therefore, mounted up an

impairment (loss) of R675m. Its loco business, which

targets customers in the mining, industrial and transport sectors in Africa, is currently looking for a strategic partner with a broader market to service.

And, according to Grindrod CEO Alan Olivier: “We had interest from a number of parties to buy the business.”

That leaves the rail sector free to focus on its rail operations and leasing sections.

And, to the outsider, it looks like the African market for these products already has a good base. This includes an involvement in the North-

South rail corridor, a strategic development backed by the three regional economic communities – the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa), the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Their aim is to improve the reliability of this transport corridor.

Grindrod’s rail business will also continue with its rail freight service between Beitbridge and Victoria Falls, and servicing mining and shunting operations in the sub-Saharan region.– Alan Peat

the whole process from pick-up to delivery so the UPSs, the DHLs and the TNTs control the process from beginning to end,” he said.

Large multi-national freight forwarders such as DB Schenker, Ceva and Panalpina also had the ability to control their destiny from beginning to end, he said.

“Small and medium enterprises have to work on the basis of agents’ agreements with other parties in other economies – and that is not to say the SMEs are not good at what they do because some of them have that niche operational part and deliver extremely well and can outlive, outrun and outfox the express carriers industry or large multi-nationals but they are the exception,” he said.

Morris said he expected there would be further mergers and acquisitions in the sector such as DSV’s

recent acquisition of UTi as firms sought to buy market share in difficult economic times.

“The market at the moment is finite but once upon a time it was a little bit infinite and there was a lot to go around but now people can’t generate market share so acquisition is the way to go,” he said.

“As these larger companies coalesce and buy market share unless they get it right they lose that service delivery methodology,” he said.

Morris cautioned

that once service was

turned into “ just a

commodity price” and a race to the bottom it would spell disaster for the ideal of a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s delivery.

Similarly, Morris said tax revenue lost on retail sales due to online purchases could force governments to increase taxes to raise the necessary funds for public services.

With many billions in projects under way or on the planning board, and a massive financial commitment from government for one of them, “Musina is buzzing”, according to Brian Kalshoven of Beitbridge Border Clearing Agency.

And one that is already under construction, he told FTW, is the Musina by-pass road.

At present, the N1 – which is the link between Zimbabwe and the economic hub of Gauteng – is not continuous and truckers and motorists have to drive through Musina.

And the traffic volumes have been growing at such a pace that hauling through the crowded town centre creates severe congestion, pavement damage by heavies, noise and air pollution. So these and traffic and pedestrian safety have become major concerns.

But, Kalshoven added, the new western by-pass will link the current N1 Section 29 from south of Musina, just before the intersection to the military base, to the existing carriageway of the N1-29 to the north of Musina.

“This development will give

truckers a clear run to and from the Beitbridge border post instead of having to haul on the old road,” he said.

This ring road and the Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) rail line working together will create a more logistical set-up, according to Joe Lukhele, chairman of the Musina Business Chamber. “With this,” he added, “we want to create a dry port in Musina for goods from Durban.”

A second development is the government-authorised special economic zone (SEZ). “This,” Kalshoven said, “is quite well advanced, situated as it is on an old military base with its existing and appropriate infrastructure.”

According to Lukhele, Musina was one of these sites identified as a pivotal trading point along the North-South Corridor, making it a gateway to the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and southern Africa.

He pointed out that key opportunities identified in the pre-feasibility study included industrial ventures in the petrochemical, agri-processing and logistics support sectors.

“The SEZ decision was also based on large-scale

logistics and linked to the agricultural activities based in and around the town and the border post,” he said. “For the tomatoes grown in quantity in this region, we want to see if we can develop a processing plant. We also have a lot of farms producing different types of fruit, and we’re again looking at end-to-end, from production to processing.”

Limpopo Province is known as the fruit basket of SA and contributes approximately 7.4% to the SA agricultural production. Its agriculture sector is estimated to produce more than 50% of SA’s mangos, paw-paws, avocados, tomatoes and potatoes and significant percentages (35%-50%) of the country’s tea, citrus production (oranges, soft citrus and lemons), bananas and litchis.

One industrial venture that has been identified as feasible is auto parts – brake pads and the like.

But the major project, said Lukhele, is the proposed multi-billion petro-chemical venture identified in the private sector-based Limpopo Eco-Industrial Park (LEIP) business plan.

This untapped opportunity in the petro-chemical sector, he added, could be grown if included in the SEZ.

The coal-to-hydrocarbons (CTHC) plant in the LEIP would make use of the coal reserves present in the Musina area. And it was also noted that the planned transport infrastructure would enable the products to be distributed throughout SA, the SADC countries and international markets.

Projects worth billions under way in Musina
