Transnova, a leading provider of transportation management system applications and logistics services, welcomes Mars Africa to the growing network of TMS clients. Mars Africa is a wholly owned division of Mars Incorporated supplying leading brands that include ROYCO®, OXO® and MASTERFOODS®.

By leveraging the Transnova transport management platform, Mars Africa will be able to automate daily transportation tasks (including planning, execution and settlement), optimise freight routing and gain critical visibility into order and shipment status. Additionally, Mars Africa will utilise Transnova’s appointment scheduling solution, to manage transportation moves, dock capacity and appointment scheduling.

“Transnova understands the market-specific obstacles food companies face with a lack of visibility into the transportation process,” said David Hallett, Supply Director at Mars Africa. “Now by leveraging technology in-house to manage our transportation, we anticipate better control of our costs and greater visibility into the transportation process, thus resulting in improved cost savings.” “Transnova is committed to helping our clients reduce transportation spend, improve services, and gain complete supply chain visibility by optimising their transportation management,” said Eric Gower-Winter, Director and Co-Founder of Transnova. “We are very happy to welcome Mars Africa as a leading member of our rapidly expanding transportation network.”

With offices in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, Transnova is the exclusive distributor for LeanLogistics in Africa. LeanLogistics is a true SaaS transportation management system providing complete daily planning, execution, settlement functions as well as periodic strategic procurement events and benchmarking capabilities. It enables organisations to reduce supply chain costs and improve performance by providing complete visibility into the transportation process.
