“During one of the project shipments taken for Tanzania, after discharge & custom formalities were done while in-transit came to know the road which leads to the site is not in proper condition. We had to hire road contractors to make a temporary road arrangement which was not part of our logistics scope, but we ensured the cargo reached the consignee’s place safely. The consignment consisted of transformers and the stability of the cargo was at stake. This incident made us confident in providing real-time logistics solutions even in Africa. With Groups presence in 28 African countries it was possible to cover 1500 kms for inland destination. Groups expertise and huge network in Africa allows us to handle any interior and Trunkey projects with DDP/DDU.  If we could do this in Africa, we can do it anywhere in the world,” states Mr. Anant.
