Fracht Uganda SMC Ltd: Providing Innovative Tailor-Made Logistics Solutions in Uganda

Joram Nyanzi, Country Director at Fracht Uganda SMC Ltd, mentions some success stories. Fracht Uganda, a subsidiary of Fracht Switzerland Group, has become one of the leading freight forwarders, aiming to provide innovative, tailor-made logistics solutions that give customers quantifiable added value.
"There are quite a few milestones that we are proud of. The first is that in our first year of opening, we were able to get our own customs license. This is not a usual achievement because it requires a number of things to be in place in order to qualify for the license. It has given us more confidence to approach clients and be able to tell them that we are licensed, we do not subcontract, and we are able to do projects on our own. The other achievement is that we were able to eat into the market share of the companies that have been here for the last two decades in Uganda and get some of those big clients like Roofings, Kakira, Uganda Breweries, and other big taxpayers. That has given us confidence that we are able to deliver and has also shown that to our clients. When you open, you promise a lot to your clients. But then when it comes to actual delivery, you need to sow that you can complete that promise. So far, we have done a number of big shipments. We have set up the logistics for the Madhvanis to set up a large bottling line. We are working with Sogea, a French company, who is putting up a water treatment plant which will be the biggest in Uganda. We are delivering logistics better than their previous service provider who was the oldest in the market. Our team is still small, but everyone is driving in the same direction and we are proud of them", says Joram Nyanzi.
