Siginon Logistics is eyeing the growing market for outsourcing of logistics services.
The services are in high demand from manufacturers, retailers, disaster and health sector players who are looking for cost-effective and efficient transport solutions.
Siginon Global Logistics, the group’s distribution logistics arm, is offering outsourcing of demand forecasting, inventory management, warehousing, logistics communication, material handling, and packaging and transportation services for firms.
“The nature of investments required in distribution logistics is capital intensive and would cripple industries whose core business falls outside of logistics. Siginon has made these investments and offered them as a service in line with the customer’s needs,” said Siginon Global Logistics Operations Manager Winstone Akweyu in a statement.
He said the firm had invested in warehousing space, customised vehicles and logistics software. “We have invested in refrigerated trucks to facilitate distribution of temperature-controlled shipments such as vaccines,” added Mr Akweyu.
