What if exporters could see exactly which route to take — weeks ahead — to dodge port delays and preserve profit margins?
SATI and Transnova just unveiled Phase 2 of a prescriptive logistics model that does exactly that: turning data into tactics that help growers make region-level decisions in real time.
In the 2024/25 export season, the model was run fortnightly, guiding container allocations per region and helping producers test “what-if” scenarios against shifting port performance and costs. The results? A stunning alignment between forecasted plans and actual outcomes — confirming the model’s power as a decision-support engine.
And here’s the big one: this model isn’t just for grapes anymore. With eyes now on citrus, stone fruit and beyond, it’s poised to become a strategic backbone for South Africa’s fresh produce sectors — delivering competitive resilience in the global market.
Want to see how this model is already reshaping export strategy — and what it means for broader supply chains? Read the full article.
