Skynet

LONG PATH AHEAD IN MOZAMBIQUE

With over 20 years on the Mozambique market, Skynet Worldwide Express is already considered one of the stalwarts of the Mozambique Transport and Logistics market. With its focus on international and domestic courier parcel express, the company already has a footprint which would be the envy of many of the companies now entering the country: 10 offices, over 100 staff, and 50 vehicles all focused on providing world-class service to Mozambique.

Skynet has offices across all of the country’s population centres, meaning it can serve a much larger portion of the population than almost anybody else in its industry. These offices are located in Maputo, Inhambane, Vilankulos, Beira, Chimoio, Tete, Quelimane, Nampula, Lichinga and Pemba. The city of Nacala is serviced by Nampula and the whole province of Gaza is serviced by Maputo. Furthermore, the hubs allow Skynet to service not only the main provincial capitals but all the rural areas in Mozambique.

This footprint is the platform on which Skynet is building a strategy to increase its service portfolio by offering consolidated doorto-door service at economy rates, combined with hassle-free customers clearing service (a crucial differential when almost a half of all end-user products in Mozambique originate in South Africa). Skynet is also investing in its bond storage facilities to accommodate both air and road freight, making it a one-stop shop in the express supply chain logistics business.

This suite of services is underpinned by what the company itself likes to call ‘client centricity’, quality service and value for money. The company has won the PMR Gold and Diamond Arrow for the Best Courier Company in Mozambique every year since 2009 (see: http://www.pmrafrica.com) in addition to Best Overall Performance in Africa at the last Skynet World Conference in 2016. Furthermore, its operations are governed by the strictest possible SHEQ (safety, health, environment and quality) rules.

Skynet Worldwide Mozambique is also a responsible active participant in Mozambican society, contributing to sustainability improvements in carbon emissions, water and electricity usage. It is a proud and active member of ‘Made in Mozambique’ a Mozambican sustainability initiative and is a responsible corporate citizen on the ground in Mozambique, where it sees its role not just as a logistics provider, but as a contributor

to the ongoing economic growth story in this corner of Africa.

As just one part of a much larger organization, it would be easy for Skynet Worldwide to overlook Mozambique. Instead, it sees the country as having huge economic potential and becoming an even more important member of the Skynet family. For example, it sees the development of logistics in Mozambique as being the cornerstone of ecommerce growth across southern Africa. In 2020, it became the market leader in consolidated cross-border road express logistics in Mozambique, and despite its undoubted progress, there’s a long path ahead for Skynet Logistics in Mozambique.
