Spotlight on an industry |

Transport is in daily demand and organising the chain of operations to supply clients at the right time and place, at the lowest cost and without any damage is a complex task. Many companies use transport professionals for product dispatch and stock management. The rise of e-commerce is a massive boost to the industry.
There are 5 separate transport categories: road transport for intercity freight, road transport for local freight, leasing trucks with driver, freight and the organisation of transport and couriers and express freight.
