Relocating Your Home or Office? These Tips Will Ensure a Seamless Transition
Moving is said to be one of life’s biggest stresses. In fact, research shows that some consider it to be more taxing than divorce! Several factors contribute to this way of thinking.

5 Ways Loadit is Improving their Offerings to Ensure Business Growth
There’s a plethora of information and advice available on how to grow and sustain a business. Some may feel that they know their business inside out and, therefore, do not require external assistance. Others who put in the necessary time and research use such resources to develop what they believe is a truly unique business model. That’s not to say that one approach is better than the other since both have the same goal in mind: how to best serve their customers. The key to achieving this is listening to what they have to say. By understanding your clients’ pain points, you’re better positioned to provide them with a solution. Listening to their experiences, insights, and ideas of how to do things better, will inevitably benefit your business in ways that competitors are perhaps yet to experience. A transport service like Loadit, for example, needs to constantly evolve to meet the ever-changing demands of their clients, and their clients’ customers. Since its inception, the business has grown to include new and improved offerings based on consumer feedback. The benefits? Retaining existing customers while acquiring new leads.
Understanding the Legal Responsibilities of South African Transporters
Unlike other countries known for their small-scale, more structured transport systems, South Africa is renowned for dealing with large fleets that are far trickier to manage. Businesses are expected to control hundreds of vehicles and often turn to software to streamline operations. These often-complex systems, however, are partly to blame for the mismanagement of products and deliveries. Why? Operators tend to use task-specific programmes that don’t necessarily complement each other.
How Timber Toys and Linn Distribution Handled a Dramatic Shift in Consumer Purchasing Behaviour with the Help of Loadit
Overview
There has been a definite shift in customer behaviour over the last three years. The most significant change is the growth of internet sales as opposed to the traditional sales taking place in-store. Further to this, most internet sales now include an option to have the item delivered to your door. Others offer a hybrid ‘in-store pickup’ option that involves the customer purchasing an item online but collecting the goods in-store themselves. Timber Toys is an importer, distributor, and wholesaler of high-end, classic wooden toys that have been sourced from all over the world. Business owner, Michelle Levick has sole distribution rights for these brands and supplies products to exclusive toy and gift stores across Africa. Michelle is also a shareholder in Linn Distribution; an import and distribution company that brings exciting international brands to South Africa. While both companies do the packaging and distribution themselves, they had a transport supply problem that needed addressing.
4 Impactful Trends Transforming the Grocery Sector

The Impact of Scheduled Deliveries on Business Success
If the last year has taught us anything it’s that optimisation is the key to success.

Inflation and its Effect on Transport Costs in South Africa
Inflation is rife throughout South Africa with transport, housing and utilities, food, and non-alcoholic beverages securing their spot as the biggest contributors. We’re certainly all feeling the pinch. Grocery shopping has become increasingly expensive, and filling up your car? Somewhat of a luxury since fuel prices increased by 33.2% just in the last year. The Covid-19 lockdown meant that many were able to work from home and by default, save money on fuel. In fact, a study done by Tracker revealed that the average South African vehicle owner saved R1 350 in fuel during the first month of lockdown. This trend largely lent itself to smaller vehicles because of the travel restrictions in place. As a result, many private vehicles stood idle during this time.
