Transnova Wins Silver at Logistics Achiever Awards for Logistics Transformation Journey with Heineken Beverages

We are thrilled to announce that Transnova and Heineken Beverages have won a Silver Award at last night's Logistics Achiever Awards, hosted by GIBS!

This recognition honours the logistics transformation journey we have undertaken, first with Distell and then with Heineken Beverages, where we designed a robust and scalable supply chain capable of handling significant growth and complexity. Our efforts included the implementation of a cutting-edge Transport Management System (TMS) that enhanced real-time visibility, optimised route planning, and transformed operational efficiency.

By collaborating with strategically selected carriers, we've ensured seamless capacity even in peak season, reduced costs and grown the carrier base from 7 to 35 carriers by onboarding them on the TMS. The result? Sustainable savings and a future-ready supply chain for Heineken Beverages post the acquisition of Distell, with annual loads moving through the TMS platform increasing from 85,000 to 200,000 and export capabilities now extended across nine SADC countries.

A massive congratulations to our dedicated team and our partners at Heineken, including Richard Solomons and Peri Govender, for their shared vision and hard work. Together, we've laid the foundation for continued growth and success!
