Absolute Logistics digitises its transport processes
Founded in 2005 in Windhoek, Namibia, Absolute Logistics (Pty) Ltd. has rapidly expanded, becoming a key player in Southern Africa’s logistics industry. Within seven years of its launch, the company extended its reach by establishing depots in Windhoek, Cape Town, and Johannesburg, solidifying a strong regional presence.
A primary driver of Absolute Logistics’ success is its well-coordinated partnership between the operational team and a management group of experts across various specialties. While the operational team focuses on seamless day-to-day logistics, management steers the company towards long-term objectives and strategic growth. As part of a commitment to innovation and efficiency, Absolute Logistics recently sought out advanced transport management software (TMS) to refine its operations. After careful consideration, the company chose CarLo, a TMS solution developed by Soloplan, which has a branch in Johannesburg.
“Absolute Logistics selected Soloplan because the software met our need for a robust, modern, and efficient transport management system. CarLo’s user-friendly design, comprehensive functionality, scalability, and Soloplan’s wide array of support services were decisive factors.” — Stefan Marggraff, General Manager at Absolute Logistics.
Implementing CarLo has allowed Absolute Logistics to boost productivity significantly, especially through automated processes, streamlined planning, and reduced error rates. With its intuitive interface, CarLo ensures that employees are quickly trained, helping the team adapt seamlessly to the new system. However, the software’s scalability was the crucial factor for Absolute Logistics; CarLo can easily adapt to support the company’s continued growth.
“The integration of CarLo® has transformed our workflow. Previously, tasks were often handled separately or through scattered spreadsheets, but now everything is centralized. Each team member has real-time access to order statuses.” — Stefan Marggraff, General Manager at Absolute Logistics.
Throughout the CarLo implementation, Soloplan provided dedicated support to ensure a smooth transition. Soloplan’s specialists guided Absolute Logistics through on-site training sessions and individual support, including the training of two key users. Today, 22 employees are actively using CarLo to handle a variety of projects, from hazardous goods to heavy transport and specialized logistics. Looking forward, the company plans to implement CarLo inTOUCH, which will enhance digital order processing and driver communication.
“By adopting CarLo, Absolute Logistics aims to position itself as a modern, efficient logistics provider. This software helps us optimize processes, enhance customer loyalty, and strengthen our competitive edge.” — Stefan Marggraff, General Manager at Absolute Logistics.
