ABC Transport expands cargo operations
ABC Transport Plc has commenced the expansion of its cargo operations nationwide.
According to the company, the desire to strengthen ABC Cargo Express, one of its many divisions was part of the strategy to improve service delivery to the public.
Besides, it has acquired 12 new trucks for rapid delivery of goods across the country and established a maintenance depot in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos.
Also, the company said that ABC Cargo Express has begun opening up new outlets for business, predominantly in Lagos State in line with the expansion programme.
Some of the outlets that were already established in the state include 5, Ojo Igbede Road, by St. Patrick Bus Stop, Opposite UBA, Alaba International Market and along Lekki Expressway, opposite Jakande 1st gate, Beside FCMB Bank.
Others that will become fully operational in the next few weeks include Aspamda North (ABC has an office in Aspamda South) and Ikorodu.
Commenting on the expansion programme, ABC Cargo Express’ Chief Operating Officer, Kamalendu Ghosh said: “Plans are already underway to fortify cargo operations in the north, with ABC Kaduna terminal as the hub of northern operations.”
According to him, the cargo warehouse in Katampke, Abuja, has been outfitted to accommodate large-scale consignment and third party warehousing, adding that the move was aimed at increasing deliveries in the northern part of the country.
He also said that with an adequate goods-in-transit insurance in place, “customers of ABC Transport can enjoy more peace of mind whenever they have to transact cargo businesses.”
Ghosh added: “ABC Cargo Express has installed a Java-based technology to enhance its e-waybill software, which not only enables the company to keep track of consignments, their movements and locations, but also disseminates SMS alerts/notifications to consignees for easy and prompt collection once their goods get to the specified terminal. All of this is expected to reduce delays and improve efficiencies in transactions and waybills and improve customer service on the whole.”
