TCS rises after partnering with TPT South Africa

TCS rose 1.45% to Rs 2322.85 after the IT major partnered with Transnet Port Terminals in South Africa to help the latter develop an integrated online marketplace platform.

TCS on Monday said it has partnered with Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) in South Africa, part of Transnet SOC, a state-owned freight transport and handling company, to help the latter develop an integrated online marketplace platform by bringing together cargo owners, shipping lines, clearing andforwarding agents, and road/rail haulers.

TCS will create new platform named Cargo Connect, which will function as an online logistics marketplace where customers can submit logistics related requests and allow service providers to bid online. Customers will be able to select the preferred proposal and award the cargo contract to that bidder.

TCS said that the platform will make bid selection process completely transparent, delivering greater value to TPT's customers. The platform will also help customers remotely track the cargo at every point of the container journey and send automated alerts with critical information, whenever a cargo event occurs. The Cargo Connect marketplace will reshape the industry and is expected to be ready in 12 months.
