State of global trade &
the logistics industry
Evolving Complexity In International Trade
New markets – freight segmentation and spread.
New cost effective sources of supply and points of sale.
Complexity of offshore markets: varying legal jurisdictions, trade agreements, cultures, languages,
processes.
Multiple supply chains – globalisation - reconfiguring networks to meet consumer expectations for faster
delivery.
Overcapacity and rate pressures fuelled cost-cutting and consolidation.
Emergence of e-commerce: smaller and more frequent purchase orders.
Moving toward a fully digital, connected, and flexible supply chain optimized for last-mile, last-minute
delivery.
Next-generation supply chain will enhance fulfilment capabilities and drive efficiencies through
technologies ranging from big data and predictive analytics to artificial intelligence and robotics.
The Logistics Industry faces vital decisions about capacity, pricing, technology deployment, and strategy. Four potential scenarios prevail, including:
Plain sailing. As regulatory constraints recede, global trade flourishes, and technology improves efficiency.
Choppy waters. New policies favouring localised manufacturing (protectionism) force shippers and logistics companies to adapt - tighter regulations that increase operating expenses and accelerate investment in cost-saving technologies.
Rough sea’s. Regulatory costs rise (protectionism) and tough economic conditions deter technology investments.
Flat global economies, intense competition and pressure on margins.
Industry remains averse to change, a reluctance to embrace automation due to financial constraints, the rate at which technology is changing and the acute shortage of specialised skills or ‘know-how.
Threat of being commoditised, unless they can provide a common global system and have global offices on strategic trade lanes facilitating end-to-end analysis, management and control.
The State of the Industry
Global trade looks set to improve
Navigating challenges
Resilience & sustainabilityAs a result of a well diversified business model, there was a strong year on year earnings growth in the face of these challenges.
Global Economies
State of the South African economy Relatively flat global economies The state of the logistics industry Low shipping (freight) rates
Brexit
Depreciating sterling, reduced profit margins Reduced trade volumes, particularly UK–Europe trade Reduced import volumes
Appreciating Rand
Reduced earnings as a result of:
Translation of offshore earnings to Rands Reduced fee’s based on Rand value of goods
imported
Operating margins and profitability
Group ‘buy rates’, efficiency-effectiveness, client retention and new business development have increased significantly year on year, protecting our earnings.
TradeNav ®
Launch and deployment of next generation technology.
‘Virtual’ client-centric (single platform worldwide), end-to-end supply chain visibility, integration and communication.
The enabling predictive analytics and data based decision making.
Brand awareness
‘Blue chip’ companies have engaged Santova.
We have also achieved the status of preferred employer.
Considered to be an entrepreneurial innovative culture with a quality talent pool.
Differentiators
Offshore expansion

Diversification in the form of geographies, currencies, industries and Group service offerings.
