New cellphone app tracks containers

Future releases will also extend to other industries

TRANSNET has launched a new cellphone software application to enable customers to track and trace their containers.

The Transnet Spotlight app is available on Android and Apple devices free of charge to assist customers with their day-to-day planning and increase their operational efficiency.

Its features include ‘Track and Trace’, which is not only focused on containers, but also extended to trucks and vessels.

‘Track and Trace extends across all Transnet terminals and TFR Navis facilities,’ Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) said.

‘Soon to be released features will enable our customers to be notified of any operational changes in the various Transnet terminals, from weather conditions to any congestion issues.

‘In addition, the ‘Register Me’ feature will enable Transnet to send customers personalised information regarding their specific consignments.’

The app is in line with Transnet’s market demand strategy pillars – admired, digital, agile and value.

TPT said it is currently the only app in the industry that provides status information of consignments across all shipping lines.

Future releases will also extend to other industries.
