The difference between a freight broker and an intelligent logistics operator
Any company can move a container. TSI Central Station manages your entire logistics operation as a single, accountable team so nothing falls through the cracks.
Single-point accountability
One team. One number. One person who owns your shipment from origin to final delivery. No passing the problem to a sub-agent.
Real-time Digital Control Tower
Live shipment tracking, document status and exception alerts all visible in the TSI Digital Control Tower. You see what we see, when we see it.
Landed cost precision
Most importers discover the real cost of a shipment after the invoice lands. TSI calculates your full landed cost upfront covering freight, duties, port charges and all.
Zero detention and demurrage
Detention and demurrage charges are the silent killers of landed cost. TSI's proactive port management means containers move on time and costs stay where they belong.
Multi-modal in-house capability
Sea, air, road, rail and cross-border trucking all under one roof. When a vessel delay threatens your deadline, we reroute without starting over with a new provider.
Sub-Saharan Africa reach
Offices in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. Active cross-border corridors into neighbouring countries. When your cargo needs to move inland, we know the route.
20 years of South African knowledge
Founded in 2006. Built through relationships, not algorithms. We know the ports, the regulators, the carriers and the workarounds.
Level 2 B-BBEE certified
A Level 2 B-BBEE rating means your procurement spend with TSI contributes meaningfully to your own scorecard. Compliance and commercial value in the same supplier.
LG Electronics South Africa
How TSI saved LG Electronics R2 million in a single year
LG Electronics South Africa was experiencing shipment delays, escalating port storage costs and no reliable visibility across their import pipeline. TSI Central Station took over full logistics management and the results were measurable within months.
"TSI gave us the control and visibility we had been asking for. The cost savings were significant but the peace of mind was worth just as much."
LG Electronics South Africa, Logistics Manager
