INTRODUCING OUR DIGITAL PLATFORM

Bringing Terminal Operations Closer to You

At AFRIKIYYA, we recognise that access to timely and accurate information is an important part of efficient cargo management.

Our digital transformation initiative is focused on creating a more connected experience between terminal operations and the customers, clearing agents and businesses that depend on them.

Through our planned Business and Terminal Management System (BTMS), we aim to make relevant cargo information, documentation and release progress more accessible through a centralised digital platform.

By bringing important information together, we seek to reduce unnecessary enquiries, improve communication and support better coordination throughout the cargo journey.

Phased Rollout Investment: AFRIKIYYA is developing a Bonded Terminal Management System (BTMS) to strengthen operational visibility and support more efficient terminal processes. This is an investment in the future of the customer experience — the platform and client-facing digital features are under development and will be introduced in phases.
