Management systems for Logistics and Transport in Angola

Lead time, cargo integrity and road safety are the product. Everything else follows from how the processes are designed.

Sector challenges

Port congestion, unpredictable customs clearance, variable road conditions and road accident rates directly affect contracted lead times and cost per tonne moved.

Industrial and oil and gas clients audit their logistics operators with the same rigour they apply to production suppliers.

Applicable standards

ISO 9001 for service, lead times and complaint handling, ISO 45001 for driving, cargo handling and warehousing, ISO 22301 for continuity when the port or road corridor stops, and ISO 14001 for fuels, emissions and workshop waste.

Compliance and ESG

Customs compliance, integrity at points of contact with the administration, and control of transport subcontractors are high-risk areas. In ESG, fuel consumption per kilometre and driver safety are the most requested indicators.

Audit needs

Warehouse and fleet audits, transport subcontractor audits, verification of driving and rest hours, and process audits of the order-to-delivery-to-invoice cycle.

Typical problems we solve

Client complaints with no systematic analysis; fleet without a maintenance plan or driving controls; subcontractors with no selection criteria; no alternative plan when the main corridor closes.
