What is a Logistics Audit?
A Logistics Audit is a thorough review of your supply chain and logistics processes. We assess your current freight forwarding, clearing, and shipping operations to identify areas where you can save money, improve efficiency, reduce risk, and increase reliability.
How does outsourcing logistics management to Sengers LCA work?
When you outsource your logistics management to SLCA, we act as your in-house logistics department. We liaise directly with your Freight Forwarders, Clearing Agents, and other logistics service providers, managing your shipments from origin to destination — ensuring transparency, efficiency, and cost control at every stage.
How is Sengers LCA different from a Freight Forwarder or Clearing Agent?
Unlike Freight Forwarders or Clearing Agents, Sengers LCA is completely independent. We don’t move goods ourselves — we manage, advise, and audit the people who do. Our loyalty is to your business, ensuring that you get the best service, the best rates, and full accountability without bias.
Can Sengers LCA help me negotiate better rates with my Freight Forwarders?
Yes! Through our consulting services, we help businesses benchmark their current rates, identify negotiation opportunities, and work with service providers to secure more competitive pricing and better terms.
Does Sengers LCA only work with South African companies?
While we are proudly based in South Africa, we assist businesses that import or export to and from South Africa and the broader region. If you deal with logistics related to South Africa, we can support you.
What is a 3PL logistics manager and how is Sengers LCA different?
A 3PL (third-party logistics) manager oversees logistics operations such as warehousing, transportation, and fulfillment on behalf of a company. Unlike a traditional 3PL provider, Sengers LCA doesn’t move or store goods, we act as a strategic partner, auditing and managing your logistics operations to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and hold your 3PL providers accountable. You get the benefit of a logistics manager without the cost of a full-time hire.
Do I need a full 3PL provider or just a logistics consultant?
If you're already using carriers or warehousing partners but struggling to manage them effectively, you might not need a full-service 3PL provider. Sengers LCA offers logistics consulting and part-time management, helping you optimize existing operations rather than replacing them. Our unbiased approach ensures you're getting maximum value from your supply chain.
Can a fractional logistics manager really make a difference in my supply chain?
Many businesses waste money on inefficient processes, poor freight rates, or mismanaged inventory. A fractional logistics manager from Sengers LCA brings years of experience and industry insight, without the cost of a permanent employee. We help you plug profit leaks and scale smarter, especially when you're not ready for full-time logistics staff. So yes we do believe that it will make a difference.
What kinds of logistical challenges can Sengers LCA help solve?
We specialize in identifying and fixing challenges like rising shipping costs, poor stock control, unreliable delivery schedules, and lack of supply chain visibility. Through audits and hands-on management, we help you streamline your logistics operations for both short- and long-term gains.
Is Sengers LCA a third-party logistics (3PL) provider?
We’re not a traditional 3PL provider because we don’t own trucks or warehouses. Instead, Sengers LCA acts as your outsourced logistics expert, helping you manage and optimize your logistics strategy. Think of us as your external logistics department where we understand your business strategy and use our experience to focus on results for your business.
How do I know if my business needs logistics support?
If you're spending too much time solving logistics problems, dealing with delayed deliveries, or unsure whether your supply chain is cost-efficient, it's time to get help. Sengers LCA provides logistics audits to help spot the areas of improvement and then, if you need help, we offer part-time management so you can focus on growing your business while we handle the operational side.
