By digitizing and automating Port operations through our in depth experience and knowledge, we aim to make our African Ports some of the most efficient and competitive in the world, attracting more trade and traffic through our strategic ports.
Visionary innovation/problem solving: Our solution architects deploy on site to understand your process and are always looking 3 steps ahead to solve efficiencies and problems that you may not even have considered yet.
Speed to deploy (2 weeks): Because we used future proof technology in building our solutions, which ensures easy integration with existing systems and technologies, we can have you up and running on our systems within 2 weeks.
Speed to adopt: Our teams focus on really simple processes on our apps, where our ideal is to complete tasks within 3 clicks or less, so our systems are really quick to pick up and use.
Subscription vs version pricing: With Digicargo there is no upfront development cost, so you don’t need to wait and save to start implementing efficiencies from the get go. Our subscription pricing model also means you only pay for what you use, so your costs are managed yourself.
Continual Improvements: We are never satisfied with just delivering a solution and leaving it there. We continually seek to make improvements to our systems so that they deliver more and more efficiencies to you. We aim to improve and update your solutions every 2 weeks!
African Port Experience: Digicargo has been actively operating in numerous ports along South Africa’s coast and understands the port logistics environment intimately, as well as having strong relationships with port stakeholders including port authorities, labour agents, broking agents and shipping companies, along with logistics companies.
