Linebooker - SA's home grown 'Uber' of trucking, in four years already the size of Big Four, growing at over 10% a month

Loading player...
Four years ago, Naude Rademan and Nick Hoffman, long-time supply chain warehouse logistics and supply chain executives, founded Linebooker, the 'Uber' of trucking. They used their insights to work out a tech-driven solution for some obvious problems for both transporters and those who needed freight moved. Backed by Patrice Motsepe's African Rainbow Capital, their disruptive business has boomed, and is continuing to grow exponentially as participants in the highly fragmented industry become exposed to the benefits of greater efficiencies, lower cost and improved cash flow.. In this podcast, Rademan takes BizNews editor Alec Hogg through the business model which has already made Linebooker into an operation rivalling SA's Big Four logistics groups - and explains why it is delivering over 10% a month compounded growth that's expected to continue for years to come.
