Real-Time Tracking.
CargoLink gives shippers, fleets, and freight forwarders live visibility on trucks and shipments moving across East & Central Africa, from Dar es Salaam Port to inland destinations.
Instead of chasing updates on calls and WhatsApp, everyone sees the same trusted timeline: location, status, and key events along the route.
Visibility layer
Real-time tracking combines GPS signals, shipment milestones, and manual updates into a single, shareable view of what is happening on the road.
Shippers, drivers, forwarders, and support teams see the same truth, reducing back-and-forth communication and building trust.
Who uses real-time tracking?
Tracking is the shared visibility layer for every CargoLink participant. It keeps operations, customer service, and leadership aligned on how shipments are progressing.
Shippers
Logistics and customer service teams.
Answer "where is my cargo?" with a live view instead of multiple phone calls.
Drivers & fleets
Owner-drivers and fleet dispatchers.
Share location, update status, and prove service quality through reliable data.
Freight forwarders
Clearing & forwarding companies.
Monitor subcontracted fleets and keep clients updated across multiple legs and borders.
How real-time tracking works.
CargoLink is designed to work with different levels of connectivity and device capability, from smartphone GPS to future integrations with onboard units.
Shipment is linked to a driver and vehicle.
Once a job is confirmed through freight matching or a forwarder workflow, it is assigned to a specific truck and driver with clear instructions.
Driver app shares location and status.
The driver uses the CargoLink mobile experience to start the trip, share GPS location (when connectivity allows), and update key milestones such as loading, departure, border crossings, and delivery.
Operations teams monitor a live map & timeline.
Fleet, forwarder, and shipper teams see trucks on a map alongside a structured event timeline, helping them spot delays early and coordinate responses with customers and partners.
Shareable, permissioned visibility.
When needed, a read-only tracking link or embedded view can be shared with customers so they can follow progress without direct access to internal systems.
Data feeds into performance and compliance.
Route, timing, and event data feed into analytics and future planning, supporting better contracts, performance reviews, and compliance reporting.
